Should the U.S. and Canada get closer?

[Gameface]

Not sure how we could be any closer, tbh.

It would require inserting part of the U.S. into a part of Canada.

I just don't think we have a peninsula in the right spot.

As far as representation, wouldn't the best thing to do be go back to the united STATES of america? If we limited federal government power, gave power back to the states, wouldn't that fix the representation problem?

Am I completely oversimplifying this, but if we limited federal government to a 10% tax, and made them balance their budget, and everything they couldn't pay for, they turned over to the states to run. Then, if you wanted to move to Mass, have an 80% state income tax, but had health care, retirement, free food, etc, you could. And if you wanted to move to Wyoming, and have no income tax, but no benefits, rotten roads, etc, then you could.

The federal government would cover military and roads. Maybe one or two other things. I don't feel they should be involved in local police, health care (because what works in Mass might not work in Wyoming), schooling and 90% of the other stuff they are involved in. Let the people decide what is best for them.

Am I crazy?

Nope, but you're now on the radar of Homeland Security, the NSA, CIA and Secret Service. I wouldn't use your phone lines anymore: go out and buy yourself a pay-as-you-go.

We are all on a list. Don't be fooled into thinking otherwise.

Are we Cobra and Canada Barbie? I think that's my ultimate take away from this thread.

Looks like Canada is claiming the North Pole along with Russia and Denmark. I guess if push came to shove and Canada and the US united, Canada might actually have a lot more military might if it ever came to that.

There are a half dozen countries in that mix. America, Norway and Greenland as well I think.

I thought Santa's Toyshop is a nonprofit? Why so much interest in it?

The catch is that if they claim Santa's Toyshop they get all the goodies on the seabed below it...

Santas toyshop is the very definition of a sweat shop. Nothing but slave labor. And the dude works one day a year, so much for this "non-profit" model he claims. Sounds like they pay their CEO the same as the United Way does.

Just what I was going to say. A lot of times you make the most money in a non-profit outfit.
