Two recent surveys suggest most Canadians actually agree on something: that U.S. president-elect Donald Trump should keep his hands off Canada.
However, one survey found that a significant chunk of Canadians, nearly a quarter, were at least open to the idea. And another poll found about the same percentage of Americans were also supportive of a merge.
The polls conducted by Abacus Data and Angus Reid Institute follow comments by Trump who has mused that Canada could be annexed by the U.S. and become the 51st state.
It is not wise to reject the idea without any details - at least this can be negotiated, and if some kind of union is to advantage to Canada, then why not? Jingoism is not practical - look at Ukraine for example. The most outrageous thing to me about Trump proposal is that Canada would be one state - it should be at least 4.
