Canada is almost American anyway. Most of our culture, books, magazines, TV, movies, etc. are American.
Canadians WANT American things. We have to legislate that our TV and radio play a certain percentage of Canadian artists also why does Walmart do so well and Zellars doesn't? I've shopped in both and Walmart is much better run that's why. Even our "all that is Canadian" Tim Hortons is an American company. It's owned by Wendy's.
With all that said I don't really want to join the states. I'm satisfied in basically being in the states but still being a little different. There is a conservative mindset that the states have that I like though. I am helping bring that more prominently to Canada along with other conservative thinkers up here.
