My post yesterday was somewhat tongue in cheek. There are all sorts of practical reasons why neither the U.S. nor Canada should annex the other.
But if annexation were to happen, we would need a fair way to decide which country should annex the other. Here is a simple suggestion.
Add up all of the square miles of each of the two countries in question, and see which one is bigger. After all, it would be absurd for a smaller country to annex a larger country.
So whichever country is larger should be the one to annex the country that is smaller. Simple, right?
On the other hand, we all need to acknowledge a simple fact: Anybody who would seriously suggest that either of these two countries should be absorbed into the other is a blithering idiot.
