11 hours ago you gave me a "disagree" reaction, which contradicts your own position for having the Cdn and US dollar at par.  Also, you don't comment why you disagree with my very logical comment.

Simply, if Canada was merged into the US our dollars would automatically be at par! .... and we would enjoy the benefits of a greater economy of scale with access to the entire US market with no impediments.

Canada's GDP is about 10% that of the US, the same as California.  Canada = California economically in a United North America.  Just think of the possibilities, because there is nothing sacred standing alone as puny Canadians in a vulnerable Canada.

p.s. ... and as I pointed out in my posting, there would be a new nation in N. America --- La Republique du Quebec, a French-only country and led by their first President -- Justin Trudeau !!!!
