Actually, NYC has a movement to be it's own state, but that's for tax reasons (they get screwed over by current NY state taxes)

La and it's surrounding counties also have a movement for the same reason.

Dallas and Houston........Texas Annexation laws allows Texas to split up into 5 states at any given time.

Chicago........... You got me there.

Jesus. That's a hell of a lot of taxes.

But yeah, I feel like too many people in LA forget they're in a desert, and they have to have their water shipped to them. When I drove down to LA from Northern California, it was terrible, because there was just nothing. Just dust, and it's because none of it got any water, it all went to LA and other big cities.

no, it would be more profitable for the US if it got alberta without war.
so owning one more state while getting oil with it? and you don't think that's profitable? also people usually pay taxes... so more income.

also do you think you can compare the canadian profit to the US one? US is a economic beast... no country comes close to it.

First of all you're anon so your opinion doesn't matter. Secondly I doubt you have any real knowledge of how politics work over here in Canada, so you've already made your self look like a fool...but then again you have always been a fool so no surprise there. Also if America decided for some absolutely stupid reason to attempt to buy Alberta from Canada I can assure you that we would put America into so much debt that America would surely become China's **** toy (more than it already is). And to add insult to injury I'm going to inform you that we've also been selling oil and other products to Russia and China and they have both been giving us better deals. Ohh man I haven't been this angry in a while. Congratulations

haha, no

first of all china is america's toy... why? because US is china's biggest trade partner... why would that matter? since China gets most of it's income thru exports, which mostly comes from the US. US decides not to pay china anymore, china goes bankrupt (China has half the income of the US's, give away half of that and china is done for(maybe not half, but close to that))

secondly US's income is the highest of ANY country (28 countries reach the same income...barely) so buying something from a country like Canada (laughable 35 million pop, low income) wouldn't be a hit for a country like the US

Ohh little anon stuck around. This is gonna be fun.
First of all I don't think anything you just said has any standing simply for the reason that your government doesn't have any solid idea on how to keep America from declaring bankruptcy, and raising the fiscal ceiling is not a plan its just a way to delay the inevitable. It was quite amusing when America asked if it could borrow Canada's finance minister in a futile hope that he could solve the giant cluster **** that is your finance system. He declined the offer, no surprise there.
And we all know that America makes more money, its all about having sweat shops and lieing through your teeth. Canada doesn't make huge amounts of money because we do not buy things we do not need. For instance America does not need a stupidly big army to pay for, but that does not stop it from taking money out of public schooling and healthcare to pay for it. Oh and don't blame Obama for your problems, he is actually spending less than the presidents before him.
So much more can be said, so much more.

yea sure america is a place full of sweatshops and everyone is lying... canada is totally nice and everyone is happy (i assume you are canadian, but you don't seem nice... and you keep lying...) riiiight

wait you point is that Canada makes less money, because it doesn't buy things and doesn't spend money on their military.... that is some weird logic

the US does not take money from either healthcare nor public schooling. the whole government shutdown was because they wanted to push a "better" healthcare system. but again, you must be right and not just making it up.

i never blamed obama for anything... but you know, you should stop believe everything you see from the media, they make a big deal from everything just to get more money.

I was talking about the sweatshops you use over seas, and that your politicians lie, jeez you people can be stupid. I'm not saying ours don't because they do, they just don't do it as much as yours do. Also by believing that all Canadian are nice and polite you are instantly showing the world that you are stupid enough to believe in stereotypes.
We save our money, is that so hard to understand.
Also its been proven that you siphon from schooling and healthcare, its useless to argue against that.
I was just telling you not to blame Obama before you actually did.

US politicans lie... which one aren't? If you keep saying "not like ours don't, because they do" then don't bring it up for a point against another country.

Oh nice for you, so you save your money, because US doesn't have reserves, right?

You said they take away from money, i assumed you meant they grant them less money, which is NOT true. Sure they don't give them more either (actually US spends much more on healthcare than Canada for example)

and i took you seriously... can't after this comment.

it was far from going bankrupt, they have their own "inhouse" limit for debt, which they reached, they also flipped their **** that their debt-to-income reached 100%, but guess what the US has debt-to-gdp ratio of 106% which is not that bad. UK has 406%, Germany has 142%. (canada has low debt (around 1 trillion but already at 64%, (really ****** low)))

oh but yea i forgot, the media said it's a pretty big deal

the US spends on military because it can, but in "real" (so not in some iraq infantry fight (hah land units the weakest type)) their overwhelming forces would come in handy

Ahhh everyone's getting mad at me, wonderful.
And I'll admit that I did some low blows, and so I'll get back to the real point at hand.
If America wanted to buy Alberta (which it really won't) we would ask for a **** load of money, and then we'd get it back through some under hand deal. However you said earlier that it would be more profitable for America to buy Alberta from Canada and you don't know how wrong you are. That would only work if Canadians we sane, and believe me we aren't. Albertans would end up torching everything, and I mean everything.

I'll admit that some of my bolder claims might have been blown out of proportion and its obvious that you are an American and that its your patriotic duty to defend your countries honor, even if its on the internet. However A good portion of my claims are built upon facts. Also I doubt you'll get a new healthcare plan, there are two many idiots in your government (I'm not saying that we don't have idiots of ourselves).
Also why would I want to be American, seriously the vast majority of Canadians think the idea of becoming American is worse than death.

Sweatshops, lying? true facts? right. or your weird logic on how a country makes money by spending ******** of money on military and things they don't want? the fact that the US is China's toy, while China get's most of it's money from the US and it's income relies on it? please tell me which one....

Ok we have both been misreading our comments. I can see that clear as day and I also realize that neither of us are gonna win.
I said that Canada does not spend stupid amounts of money on our army, so by doing so we area saving money for other endeavors.
I said 'toy' because America gets the vast majority of its products from China, thus causing China to have a hold on America.
Its also obvious that we are both getting our facts from different sources.

not one actually important stuff comes from china (as in nothing that incase of a war would hurt the country) so no, no hold here.

They own most of the rights in the tarsands (the tarsands alone will produce enough oil to fuel the western world for ~200 years)
They have to pay royalties on anything over a certain number of barrels produced per year but they just make more, separate companies to stay under that limit.
They are now allowed to import a foreign workforce onto Canadian soil so Canadians don't even get the jobs anymore.
Alberta is literally giving >95% of the oil away because of POS politicians making backroom deals.

You have a boner for this going to war idea. That was a joke, it's over. He who laughs last and all...
Most royalties are to foreign interests, most of those are chinese.
Now that they are intrenched you couldn't get them out of there without nuking the place.
TLDR
Canada is screwed.
Free trade agreements have only ever benefited the states (true worldwide).
You missed several jokes and this is getting boring.

Humanity really needs to get over it's differences and get down with this whole united thing. Eventually we need to all become one. It's the only way humanity is ever going to prosper. One day I hope we can stand united in one big country, where we are all brothers and sisters united as human beings-not borders-not cultures-not by race or other pettiness. Perhaps not the end of conflict but the end of war.

We've got to start somewhere. I'd place my bet on the U.S. But people don't seem to ever want to let go of their egos. Maybe we are never going to unite. Maybe we're destined to fight hate and divide ourselves forever.

I think that's a terrible idea. First of all, creating such a country would be incredibly difficult in the first place, but that's not really the important part. What I think the best things about different countries, is that people can choose where they want to live. For example, I'd like to move to Scandinavia, assuming that they'd take me. Not everybody wants to be in a Capitalist society. Everybody wants something different, and so I think it's important that there are many options.

We live in a world where people trade away the future in order to maintain the illusion of the present because of the fear that causes them to cling to the past.

Why does it have to be capitalist? Why can't it be something new? Something better?
All I'm talking about is the hope that one day we will all be united as a species. This region that region, the same country, the same home, the same planet

What about progress? Think of how much conflict makes progress happen. We wouldn't have the capability to be in space right now if it weren't for the Cold War, which wouldn't have happened if it weren't for WWII, WWI, the Russian revolution, etc...

Just judging the responses and general rellocation of thumbs, it severely saddens me that when ever anybody talks about forming a better world or taking the next logical step for the true evolution of our society everybody automatically assumes "communism" "dystopia" and "nationalism".

Is this the state of our world? Is that why the future never changes? Are you so conditioned by your countries that reject the idea of change? Have you forgotten how to think for yourselves? Have your forgotten our collective dream? Or striving for progress? Our desire to become more? To outgrow our nature? To become more than just animals fighting over petty differences?

What I'm talking about is the end of our division. What I'm talking about is the dream that one day we are all united as one species. Culture will become humanity, race will become human, and we will be as one.

But I fear such a day may never come.

i understand and very much respect what you are saying, but your being slightly unrealistic, forget cultures? thats whats make some people people. its kinda like going up to a jewish or a chines person and saying forget everything you and your people have done to get to where you are. and even if we did acheive unity, how long would that last 20 years? 50? it would most likley last until are children come of age and have ideas of their own. under government its impossible to reach complete human unity. now its still possible for the human race to get much closer, we just have to make sure we dont get to close to the point we rip each other apart like i said above. tell me i im wrong but the only way to acheive total human unity is anarchy, peacful anrachy. sure we would lack a huge amount of progress but we be much happier and definetly more natrual which is not always a good thing. now im not saying i want a world filled with anarchy but just stating my opinoion plz dont hate on me.

While the idea is nice in theory, it's just not realistic: True anarchy is pretty much impossible; SOME sort of power structure is natural to human nature. We tend to assemble ourselves in such a manner.
