    Imagine if the United States of America had a state that wasn’t part of America. It would be completely crazy! How could it ever make sense?

    I mean, picture it: some place, say somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, maybe some independent Polynesian country, just gets made into a state. We wouldn’t be the United States of America anymore!

      It’s not just an issue with location. Canadians tend to think they’re a lot more… culturally and politically European than they are.

      And, again, there are lots of other alternatives before having to incorporate a whole-ass North American country with a landmass twice as big as the entire EU and located ten time zones away into a political and economic union designed to let trucks move things around easily.
