Pandora:
Don't take this personally, but we have all of the socialists we need in the U.S. right now, and do not want any more. I think you have even more entitlements per capita than we do. I would not want Canada as a part of my country without significant changes, and that would likely be a deal breaker. Firearms laws in Canada, for example, with a few exceptions, are intolerable to me. OTOH, you may not want to trade your beer for ours. Miller, Coors, and A-B would assimilate your breweries and change them within weeks.
The only recommendation I can make for it would be to form an economic bloc and pooling of resources to compete with the Euros or the Chinese.
I look at it this way. No matter how nice my next door neighbor seems to be, I am not sure that I would want him and his crew to move in with me and my family.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
