In an abstract sense, sure. But once they start putting the nuts on the bolts, they are going to get cold feet. The USA is vastly different from Canada is many tangible ways. It's not the conservative utopia people think it is.

Plus, given the political issues involved with integration of the two countries, I suspect serious concessions would need to be made by Canada.

And Canada's not the liberal paradise people think. We're leaving, personally.

The quality of life here is pretty shit - think LA or Seattle cost of living (SF if you're in Vancouver or Toronto) with Nebraska wages (actually that would be generous)...
