What forms will an eventual US Incursion into Canadian sovereignty take?
Economic/Political Union
The most "benign" form of American conquest over Canada would come as a type of political and/or monetrary union. There have already been faint rumblings from various pundits in Canada around the benefits of adopting the US Dollar standard here in Canada. This idea will become less palatable over time as long as America continues debasing its currency with its ever widening deficit and monetization of federal debt. Over the next few years as the US debt nightmare becomes a reality, the American economy is far closer to the beginning of a secular economic downturn than it is near the end of one. While Canada in the meantime actually manages to improve economically over the same few years, by continuing to retire debt and letting interest rates find a natural level, the idea of economic union with the U.S. will be less palatable over time. America will be seen for what it really is, an albatross around the neck of the world economy and something to minimize one's exposure to, not join with.

Just because they are not finished doesn't mean it isn't happening! What world are you living in? They don't use it malevolently? Say what? Sorry I hardly consider the illegal invasion of Iraq the wise and humane use of force! I know they are freeing the poor people of Iraq and giving them democracy...while I agree that being deceased is freeing but that democracy is a little sketchy...is it the same as democracy in the U.S. cause that is not the interpretation I had of democracy...go figure... ooooh sorry just whining again...

It was General Tommy Franks who said that. He also said that the constitution wouldn't survive another attack.
I didn't realize it survived the first one!

" If they were so friggin' evil, why haven't they stomped all over the world militarily?
Is this guy for real? The USA has a active military presence in 170 countries! There is 228 countries in the world.
Imperialism at it's best eh. The problem with the US is that they are hated everywhere. And I mean everywhere. I have lived in the Far East to Europe and it's really tough to find a positive view of Yanks anywhere. All empires fall but an empire as unpopular as the US one will collapse hard. And it's coming soon I feel.
Canada should distance itself from this disease and start forging closer ties with expanding Europe. Perhaps Canada could even become a Cooperating Member such as it is with the European Space Agency.

"""They could get all the oil they need for free by threatening to nuke Saudi Arabia""""
That is a very weak argument. Most of you Bush admin lovers still can't answer the question, of why didn't the U.S attack Saudi Arabia (or at least hold them responsible) for 9/11. The evidence is there of Saudi ties to 9/11. Heck most of the terrorist were Saudi. It would be interesting to see the reaction of the Bush admin if Saudi Arabia were to one day say they were adopting the EURO.
Not that it would happen, because Saudi Arabia has a big chunch of the American economy in investements. Without their noxius friends the U.S would collapse. The fact is some of you ANON's can't face it, the U.S decisions are all about greed. The U.S which is a corporate run country, will make decisions based on profits, not what is moral.

Canada's hands are no cleaner than the americans, you cant justify 'doing wrong' by claiming 'we aren't as bad' or 'they made us do it'. It didn't save german soldiers from getting hung, and it doesn't hold water now. Americans have their own problems to deal with, and I have no doubt that much of the 'extremism' we see is simply the gut reaction, similar to the ones canadians vent when derided. Nobody likes to believe they live in a corrupt society, particularly when it means we are PART of the corrupt society.
