I truly hope so. And the best time to initiate this project is right now, when all of Europe is facing same issues that unite us
I agree with you. But we have a problem that the US didn't have: we all speak vastly different languages.
The US did have that problem, too. There were settlers from all european countries who spoke all different languages, plus natives (albeit that the natives were genocided over time, so their languages were sorted out the other way), and at one point during the constitution process they had a vote on which language should become official. And it almost was german, btw.
nd at one point during the constitution process they had a vote on which language should become official. And it almost was german, btw.
That's a modern myth. IIRC there was a newspaper that had to decide to publish either in German or English and they decided in favor of English. The USA doesn't have an official language but de facto it is English.
I looked it up and we're both right and wrong. There was a vote, but it was about printing laws in german, additionally to english prints. And there is no federal official language, but some states codicized english as their official language, sometimes alongside other languages.
However, my point still stands as in the beginning, there were many different languages and they somehow managed to find a common one.
As a Canadian, could it be rebranded to Western Democratic Union (or something), so we can join? Also it might help UK undo its mistake if it didn't have to admit its mistake.
Why should we meet you half way? Just move Canada to Europe instead.
You're technically still ruled by the british monarch, no?
Problem solved!
