Two recent surveys suggest most Canadians actually agree on something: that U.S. president-elect Donald Trump should keep his hands off Canada.

However, one survey found that a significant chunk of Canadians, nearly a quarter, were at least open to the idea. And another poll found about the same percentage of Americans were also supportive of a merge.

The polls conducted by Abacus Data and Angus Reid Institute follow comments by Trump who has mused that Canada could be annexed by the U.S. and become the 51st state.

    I’m open to a Schengen style agreement with open borders like Europe has. Even a common currency would probably be fine. No way you are imposing that shitshow of a federal political system on us though.

      We’d probably have some difficulty figuring out if Canada was gonna be a Republic or the US would be part of the Commonwealth-type.

      I could see that mess boiling down to a duel.

        I fully endorse fights to the death between politicians to settle mundane bureaucratic questions.

      Common currency is never going to happen. One companies bennifet from our lower dollar. Second our dollar is so much lower I just don’t see it happening.
