When you think about it ...

Yours truly has written copiously about GW and what it means for the world and for the US as temps rise, the midwest in the states will no longer be the breadbasket for America but rather Canada's. With this being said, think about what the US has done regarding habitat loss, environmental degradation and resource loss in the land of the brave and home of the free. Pretty sad and devastating without question so the possibility of either joining or invading Canada makes imminent sense to this writer as we lurch further into the 21st century. 

Let’s face it, friends:

America is over.

• We poisoned all our rivers and we’re running out of freshwater, with 96 out of 204 basins in trouble and the western seaboard on fire.
• We’re like a thirsty ex-boyfriend in our desperate search for ever-harder-to-extract oil and gas, fracking our foundations to smithereens.
• Our infrastructure is crumbling and our cities are overcrowded like a Tokyo metro station.
• Our virgin forests have been destroyed and aren’t coming back.
• We’re trying to coax GMO crops from dead dirt instead of living soil, leaving us with sickly and anemic food.

Eventually, despotic American politicians will wake up and realize there’s a simple solution to all their self-imposed problems:

Invade Canada.

The NY Post posits a joint venture rather than invasion as mutual self interest and combined resources augur well against a most uncertain world thanks to internecine politics and the dark specter  of Global Warming, 

US, Canada should merge into one country

No two nations in the world are as integrated, economically and socially, as the United States and Canada. We share geography, values and a gigantic border.

Regardless of this close friendship, our two countries are on a slow-motion collision course — with each other and with the rest of the world.

While both countries wrestle with internal political challenges, meanwhile, the economies of the larger world change and flourish. The International Monetary Fund forecasts that by 2018, China’s economy will be bigger than that of the United States and Asian economies will be bigger than the US, Canada, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Russia combined.

Rather than continuing on this road to mutual decline, the United States and Canada should chart a new course — by joining forces.

The United States and Canada could merge into one country, or follow a European Union model that eliminates the border without merging the two governments.

At the very least, the nations should discuss joint ventures to develop Canada’s staggering, and untapped, resources in the north, an area three times bigger than Alaska.

If combined, the US and Canada would have an economy larger than the European Union. The two would be an economic superpower, bigger than South America in size, with more energy, metals and minerals, water, arable land and technology than any other nation, all protected by America’s military.

Citizens of the merged countries would have more options in terms of jobs, business opportunities, climates, studies and lifestyles.

Of course, a merger, as the Europeans discovered, can be difficult. The US and Canada have unique cultures, governments, health care, taxes, gun laws and legal systems. But we have far more similarities than differences.

A logical possibility without question.
