Suppose (inspired by recent Trumpery) that Canada, Mexico, and the United States were going to merge. One of the three existing Federal governments would incorporate the other countries states or provinces. The other two governments would be unwound. Which government would you favor to govern the combined territory?

@interfluidity Hey, they misunderstood your poll and only included canada:

Fox News · Trump suggests Canada become 51st state after Trudeau said tariff would kill economy: sourcesBy Greg Wehner

@interfluidity Oooh

Say, it speaks of "killing the canadian economy", but what i wonder is: what is the US actually importing? There has to be some impact if those goods no longer arrive.

@admitsWrongIfProven yes. there would be a ton of impact. automotive and construction supply chains would be a mess.
