    Why would we do that?
    The reports of my death were surprisingly well-sourced and accurate.

    Sufficient external threat. Either another superpower or global calamity, shit, even aliens.

    There are a lot of downsides, but there are also upsides to centralization.

    More resources = more power

    Also reducing land borders for water borders is a strategic advantage.

    I was referring to a one world government. If you are saying consolidate to defend against a two or three world government conflict, then I agree that would make sense.

    As far as calamity, you wouldn't need a one world government to get all major powers to contribute to a global calamity.

    Mexico is pretty different, then again we have like 11 million illegal Mexicans in the US.

    They jokingly call it the "Reconquista".

    Ha, ha very funny Mexico.

    Mexico, never. Canada could however be annexed in the future when the oil runs out in the middle East.

    None of that would happen though. It would create problems not sure which ones it would solve if any.

    Recent events would disagree with you.

    Which recent events, I sure as shit hope you are doubling down on the stupid implication that Mexicans being rapist, with being Terrorist too, because of what happened in France. Because honestly that is a level of fucking stupidity I can't even.

    As a Canadian, no thanks. I don't want to be American or Mexican.

    I don't know if the US and Canada could agree on the size a football (not soccer) field should be.

    As an American, Canada and Mexico can keep to themselves, thank you.

    Plus, you need the Canadian Memes. They are just too good to not tease Canadian friends with them.

    Don't diss Mexico, they're on their way to becoming the 8th richest country in the world. Then they will have their own illegal immigrant problem.

    Not in the next 100 years, no. My crystal ball doesn't go any farther than that, though.

    I don't really believe that chart. A lot can happen in 35 years. Brazil, in particular, is going to be having a lot of issues with the populist socialism that's taken root there.
