I'm tryin to think of why the US would want to do this?  Maybe so they have better acess to Canda's natural resources (Oil, Coal, Lumber etc)?  So they can test nukes up north?  They could then eliminate a shitload of tarifs and taxes for using the land, it would give them a path to alaska. 

I like the idea of getting rid of the borders, I think it's like 80% of Canadians live within an hour drive of the US, so naturally we would go down a lot.  But it's confusing to me what would happen with things like coast guards, and military.  I don't want a huge US military base near me.  I'd rather just stay indepedent. 

The Canadian economy is based solely on the US'  if they do well, they buy more from us.  The whole film industry in Vancouver only got started because it was cheaper than Hollywood.  I kinda wonder if it would benefit Canada or hurt us if a union happened.

Maybe some euro's could explain to me better how this whole union thing works?  How independent is each country?  What are the pros and cons?
