Could Canada ever become a superpower?

[Wezil]

You do realize only Russia is bigger than Canada right?

Still? Even without their slave states?

[Zevico]

If they think they can, then yes.

[Asher]

You pull that out of your ass?

Canada's birthrate is 10.29 per 1000

US birthrate is 14.41 per 1000

US birthrate is nearly 50 percent higher.

Don't know where their estimates come from, but if you look up the annual births in Canada and USA and compare that to population you get my numbers.

Not estimates, but real numbers.

[KrazyHorse]

Canada lacks the human capital to be a superpower.

I agree. But that's not what Dis meant, in all likelihood.

[Dauphin]

Don't know where their estimates come from

CIA factbook according to the link.

Birth rates and death rates are both higher in the US according to the factbook.

[Asher]

Propaganda.

[Dauphin]

CIA, more likely simply inaccurate.

She has lost 5 kg since me opening the thread.

Did you show her the thread, or are the two unrelated?

[Japher]

It's all a matter of perception.

I thought you might say that.

I expect an apology.

[Dauphin]

I expect an apology.

[Dis]

If they think they can, then yes.

isn't that train going downhill? That doesn't seem very hard.

[Kitschum]

She has lost 5 kg since me opening the thread.

That's quite a lot. It might be better to let her adjust more slowly into her new weight so she'll keep it off and not bounce back. So is she happier? Is the sex better?

Who knows, perhaps a North American Union is the future of Canada and the US.

I choose to interpret Ashers link as saying that Canada will be the first nation to give androids citizenship, thus solving our human capital problem.

And I can't believe no one has brought up the most insidious Canadian plot yet, global warming!!

Tropical rainforests in BC...fields of ripening corn in the Northwest Territories...cotton and mangoes and pineapples from Quebec and Saskatchewan...Expensive beach resorts in Labrador...

While we drive up oil prices and turn America into a desert! All until the United Empire Loyalists finally get compensated for their ancestors lost property...
