Meanwhile, in Canada

[Szdfan]

It will never happen because Canadians would never be willing to change their spelling or get rid of the metric system.

Don’t the Canadians use a combination of the metric and imperial systems like in the UK? Also, metric is better. What kind of dumb measurement system uses fractions?

The entire metric system is based on fractions, where the denominator is a power of 10.

Right…which is why you don’t get any 3/8 of an inch nonsense.

Isn’t a common currency part of the One World Government? That’s what I heard about the Euro.

There's enough holdouts (Switzerland, UK, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.) that the Euro isn't even a common currency for the entire continent.

I don't think we could have a common currency for North America; how would Mexico pay for the wall?

Not to mention all of Scandinavia. I think a Scjhlingrin type system would be an easier sell. I traveled from Poland to Switzerland, than to Oslo without being asked for a passport, except for checking into hotels. Just eliminate border control between US and Canada.

Didn’t we just have an election in which the winning candidate argued we had to make borders more secure, including the one with Canada? Isn’t the incoming administration threatening a 25% tariff on Canadian goods?

Trump is not a diamond. He is not “forever.” He may not even last until the next election.

According to what I read here on MN, Trump has a mandate to change everything and to beat back all that liberal nonsense like open borders.

Keep reading. Maybe you'll become a believer sometime.

I suspect I might be too pig-headed and contrarian for that.

Au contraire!

A common passport free area is not open borders. It gives these privileges to the citizens and legal residents only. The rest can and should be deported.

Open borders is what we have had for the past four years.

We’re supposed to have a common passport area in the 5 Central American republics but it rarely seems to function as such.

We essentially had that before 9-11. I traveled back and forth to Canada with nothing but a driver’s license and was seldom asked even for that. We essentially had a passport free area. 9-11 paranoia changed that.
