Should the US annex Canada?

[CutiePie2000]

Hmmmm...

I have often said to amycat that I am an American trapped in a Canadian's body. I love lots of things about the U.S. (good shopping), but the crime and guns thing, I can do without.
Although I love visiting the USA, I still always have a feeling like the USA is so much more of a violent society than Canada, know what I mean?

On a good note, there are a lot more interesting cities in USA than Canada.
IMO, the Canadian cities worth visiting are Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. That's about it.
Whereas, in USA, there is so much more to choose from: Seattle, Los Angeles, Hawaiian islands, Austin, Dallas, Miami, Chicago, New Orleans, NYC, Boston, Las Vegas, Phoenix, etc. etc. etc.
Sorry if I forgot or left off your favorite city - not my intention to offend anyone.

I will definitely say that I wish that Canada had a "sexier" image...it bothers me that Canadians have this reputation of being a nation of "hewers of wood and drawers of water",
not to mention that whole reputation of being a nation of hockey fighting, beer swilling boors; that annoys me immensely. The USA definitely has a "sexier' image associated with it...it is the whole Elvis/Coca-Cola/Baseball/Big Cars/Blue Jeans image.

I don't really have a point to make... this is more a stream of consciousness.
