The Imperial Presidency

[Dartz]

I've been drinking because of public holiday here so this idea might be a little less credible than most (Also, this whiskey is old enough to drink itself. 21 year old whsikey - my god)

But, instead of Canadian resistance, why not bring the whole teetering edifice down from the inside? You'lll have 40 million new 'natural born' US Citizens who want cheap healthcare, sensible government, and a general lack of stupidity suddenly absorbed by an entity that wants none of these.

But more than that.

You'll have the current King of Canada - also, arguably also a citizen of the Great State of Canada when it gets assimilated, and therefore eligible to run for the Presidency of the United States of American and Canadia.

Given the choice between the milk toast of the democrats, the swastika of republicanism, the third option is the Presidency of Chuck Windsor - billionaire landowner, landlord and owner of half the fucking British isles.

If American truly wants a King, now you can have one who at least knows how to arrange a murder to look like a car accident.

On a more sensible note, this is probably grotesquely oversimplify things.

If countries had some level of cop on, surely they could figure out some way to come together, talk to each other, and figure out how to trade around the United States the same way the internet routes around damage.

The US is looking at things as if there's a finite amount of pie, and they want the bigger slice.
The rest of the world looks at things as 'how can we make more pie, so everyone can have more slice'

There's a whole load of things Canada isn't going to be able to sell cheaply to America
There's a while load of things Canada isn't going to be able to buy cheaply from America.

One presumes that there's also be a whole load of things the EU will no longer be selling to America
And there'll be a whole load of things the EU will no longer be able to buy cheaply from America.

It sounds simple to reduce it to one line like that, but the EU needs gas and LPG, tree-juice, trees and possibly heavy metals, and Canada is going to be looking to buy Whiskey, foodstuffs and cars and probably meat from animals that arent meat-sacks stuffed with hormones, chlorine and antibiotics, and flavoured by suffering and salmonella
