Canada: Scenarios: The 51st State

 

 

Canada and the US join.

 

 

Drivers

·         The two countries are very similar in many respects, and their economies are tightly integrated.

 

Counterforces

·         Canadians are nationalistic in their own quieter way, and wish to preserve their own values and way of life.

·         Canada would fear losing control over its destiny in joining the US, which is ten times larger.

·         American conservatives would not welcome 30 million or more “liberals,” which Canadians tend to be by American standards.
