Diane Francis is a Canadian editor-in-chief of the National Post newspaper and a professor at Metropolitan University in Toronto. She also wrote a book entitled The Merger of the Century, Why Canada and the United States Should Become One Country. According to her, the United States and Canada are much more integrated than most people realize, so a merger between the two countries is not only desirable, but inevitable. Both countries are multicultural and based on the same principles of democracy, free enterprise and the rule of law. They speak the same language and have a shared colonial history. According to the Canadian author, there are no two countries in the world as integrated, economically and socially, as the United States and Canada. They share geography, values and the world's longest unprotected border, almost 9,000 km long. So it would not be unreasonable for them to also share a government by becoming one country. So the questions are: What are the author's reasons for proposing this merger? Why is it unlikely to happen? And, why would such a union ultimately hurt both countries?
