MODERATORS
As a US citizen, I agree.
A merger, not a takeover? That's a step in the right direction.
I assume if a merger happened, the combined boards would realize that the sanely run part of the combined corporation was based out of Ottawa, and would "right-size" the Washington DC parts. The US supreme court clearly isn't fit for purpose, so toss that and make the supreme court in Ottawa the official one post-merger. US lawyers would need to buy fancy robes.
Maybe the CIA could absorb CSIS and the NSA could absorb NSIS, but clearly the top law enforcement agency should be the mounties. FBI agents would have to learn to ride and get some nice tailored red suits.
The US house and senate would have to be dissolved. That incredibly corrupt 2-party duopoly is already the laughing stock of the world. This would also be the end for absurd things like the electoral college, multi-year campaigns, the "New Hampshire" primary, and so-on. But, we could keep the idea of electing the head of state instead of having a figurehead governor general who theoretically has the powers of a monarch, while also having almost no actual power. That whole thing is just weird.
Oh, and while we're at it, it wouldn't actually have to happen as the result of a merger, but this would be a good opportunity for the NFL to fix some of its rules. 3 downs instead of 4 is a big improvement, as is starting the offensive and defensive lines 1 yard apart. We could let them rename the "rouge", but keeping that concept is essential. The whole idea of kicking into the endzone not being a point in the NFL is just silly.
Everyone: Don't feed the troll!
