WELL!!!! We took a survey here at the "Perspective Research Department:
***
Of course, Americans look upon a Canada/U.S. merger positively because the U.S. is a country in decline. Already a second-world country and sliding, the U.S. would gain substantially while Canada, one of the leading countries of the world, would lose big time.
Thanks for thinking of us though. It's rather incredible since most of the time you Americans don't have a clue about what or where Canada is.
Oh, in case you come up with the idea of the U.S. becoming part of Canada, still not even interested in the slightest.
***
I think I'm ashamed for wasting my time with you. You haven't the slightest idea of what would be involved in merging 2 G7 countries. One of which has 2 languages and is physically bigger than the US. Furthermore, Canadians definitely do not want a merger, why would we? So now you're talking armed aggression against a non-threatening neighbour. Some Christian. You can say “sieg heil” now.

Canadians have NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER to join a third world shit hole especially when the “president “ of the third world shithole is rapist, insurrectionist, liar, grifter, fraud, pedophile, career criminal, convicted felon, needle-dick trump!!
***
Why Canada, a first world country, should want to join the third world shitshow that's the US of A, Bubba? As for small, instead of posting inane crap on Quora, invest in a fucking world map!
***
Canada has a health service free at the point of use, no medical bankruptcy, no abortion laws which kill women with ectopic pregnancies, doesn't have school shootings, is massively less racist, doesn't have the death penalty, has fewer homeless, doesn't have a drugs epidemic and many other things of a positive nature not found in the US.
***
Standard of living is higher in Canada. Our health care is better. Life expectancy is greater. Average Grade 11 student in the USA would be sent back to Gr. 9 in Canada. So should I keep going.

The US is like a person wearing the best clothes, living in the biggest house, driving the nicest car and appearing to be wealthy but are so heavily in debt that they pay their debts by robbing Peter to pay Paul every month but one wrong move they would go bankrupt in a flash.
Canada's biggest problem(s) and cause of its debt is offering too many social programs to people in supposed need instead of setting up a system to encourage work. Canada's system of consulting and getting consent from various groups, more specifically the Indigenous communities, to expand their national resources access has also held back the nation from more global investments; the Keystone XL is just one small example of the country being held back and, therefore, the people in the country.
The U.S., however, is now a very unstable country politically for any other country or investor to look at for investments. For 4 years, corporations, etc, can do this, then for the next 4 years, they can’t. For 4 years, there were no tariffs, and then the next, there were large tariffs. In and out of global agreements. The only thing the U.S. has is a bully pulpit with military threats, which is why the U.S. globally is one of the most hated countries in the world and, in conjunction, the American people.

I think that you’re an idiot - or at least spouting idiocy. There’s the small matter of the inhabitants of Canada and Greenland not having the slightest desire to join the USA. Why would the Canadians want to lower their standard of living to ours? And why would the Greenlanders want to leave a culture with which they are very familiar for one that’s completely alien, only to see their natural resources plundered and their nation polluted in pursuit of the almighty dollar?
You are under the delusion that being an American is a great privilege. It’s not. There are countries that are freer, more prosperous, happier and with a better overall quality of life than what we have here. We had that once, and we blew it. You can give much of the “credit” to Mr. Reagan, Mr. Gingrich, Mr. Bush 43 and Mr. Trump.

What do I think? I think you are one of the many low-information Magats who voted to overturn your own democratic political system and install a dictator.
I think you have had little to no education. I think you do not realize that Canada is internationally regarded as a first-rate country while the U.S. has degraded into a second-rate country. Look at the International polls on health care, longevity, education, gun safety, and happiness- Canada outscores you on every single one!
As for calling us poor, there is far more poverty in the U.S. than here in Canada because we look after our fellow citizens. We have universal health care, gun controls that keep everyone safe- especially our school kids, and a broad social network for those who are unable to work, who lose their jobs or fall on hard times for other reasons. And better hockey.

We are not as populated but not small.
We are not as economically powerful, but by no means poor.
Of course you look on that as a positive idea. You are covetous, greedy and need many of the things we have.
It is not an opportunity for us, it would be of greater benefit to the US.
You know what we think and if not, you are more dim witted that we thought. But so we are clear like the hundreds of other answers here on Quora alone…
So no uniting, no joining, converting, blending, annexing, NO! Give it a rest. Give it a frigging rest.
You will have to invalid and conquer… you know murder women, children, elderly and soldiers and destroy homes, infrastructure etc. Yup, like Trumps friend Putin. Like all warmongering murderous wealth seeking, power hungry dictators and their sheep followers. The way this keeps coming up is how wars and invasions happen. Not funny, not a joke, not a negotiation tactic… It is a threat and the precursor to open aggression. The trade tariffs are the next step in the process so we know you are untrustworthy and underhanded.
We don't want to be American… that’s your jam. We have enough issues of our own to resolve without taking on more baggage. Clean up your house before you invite people over cause with the state you’re in, you aren’t ready for guests, and it will take more than just a shot of air freshener.
We are not your little brother or sister to the north. We are not your cousins. You have ended the friendship. You have decided we are no longer your allies. You have declared our trading relationship is over.
We ignored the warnings last time. Now you have our attention, and we are very focused, and we indeed know how we feel about your “suggestion.”
***
Let’s think about this for a second. No universal health care. Active shooter drills in grade schools. Women do not have a right to decide on their own health care. A criminal can get elected as Head of State. A corrupt Supreme Court. A thirty-six trillion national debt. I think we will give a hard NO to that offer. Have a nice day.
***
Arrogance is not an inviting quality. We are not a poor country. In fact we are a rich country in resources or your orange hot air buffoon that you call a President would not be trying to take our country. We have hydro and water as well as minerals, and we have a huge immigrant population, which gives us more skilled labour and a huge amount of diverse cultures that are much richer than the USA and your Hollywood culture.
You will NEVER reign over Canadians without a WAR!!!

NOW... After all the huffing and puffing somewhat... We here at "Allan's Canadian Perspective" have come up with TWO possible solutions to this mess!
1.
TA - DAH!
