I know that it’s literally right next door: but does a stronger USD help against a weaker CAD? The thing is, how similar are both nations in terms of culture? For example, I’ve heard a lot of Aussies visit New Zealand as it’s not far. So is it basically the same thing with Americans going to Canada for vacation?
I wasn’t necessarily suggesting to move there, more suggesting to considerate and propose Canada starts annexing parts of the west coast.
I don’t want to move, I’d rather have my state leave the union and form one with Canada.
I realize this is way less realistic than emigration, but this is mostly just a fantasy. I love Canada and it’s culture, and I think the Pacific Northwest would fit right in.
I know you mean well but generally Canadians find it annoying when Americans propose we annex them. This is a common joke we get. But just like we don’t like it when Trump jokes about Canada being the 51st state, we also don’t like it when Americans joke about joining Canada. We like the boundaries between our two countries to be respected. Because we are different cultures, and have very different values/attitudes, and very different legal systems, we don’t always speak the same language (French has equal status to English here, and despite what most Americans think not all French Canadians live in Quebec). And generally we don’t like it when these differences are downplayed. Also, with all due respect, we don’t want to inherit your baggage. We still want to be friends with you guys though! But as different countries.
Fair enough, I get the boundaries.
