Once again this is a world news sub, not a ‘patriotic America is awesome’ sub—so why are you acting like dissenting opinions aren’t welcome? I said I wouldn’t be against America merging into Canada, and instead of engaging with that idea, you’re just telling me to leave. If you actually disagree, make an argument instead of trying to police who gets to participate.
I'm not the one who said to leave. I'm confused why you would say you agree with the title, which is anti-US, and then say this community (not sub - that's a Reddit term) isn't "America is awesome." The title says "Merging Canada into the US," not "America merging into Canada." Huge difference.
The general opinion around the world is that your country has gone to shit. You're welcome to have your opinions but the rest of us are equally welcome to call you a moron.
As an American, I'd be upset if it happened. It's bonkers to just be like, "oh other sovereign nation NBD you no longer exist," absolute madness.
Besides we could just (re)negotiate the trade agreements we have in place which apparently are so bad. I wonder who did a bad job with them last time we changed the framework and name of NAFTA ... Oh right the Trump admin.
There's no good reason, in my point of view, we couldn't have an equivalent to the EU for North and South America - freedom of movement, establishing standards, less friction when it comes to trade - but that would require some true visionaries with a lot of influence and power to work. I doubt it would come to be but I wouldn't be upset if it happened.
Won't someone please rid us of the meddling orange man and his sad lonely billionaire buddy.
