Though the United States and Canada are the world's largest trading partners, internal politics and long wait times at the shared border have hurt both trade and tourism. With Asian economies on the rise, noted Canadian journalist Diane Francis argues that the United States and Canada should merge to become an economic superpower-- one with unparalleled access to natural resources. In her book, Merger of the Century: Why Canada and America Should Become One Country, Francis lays out her plan for a future union, providing strong arguments and citing impending social, political, and natural crises as reasons to do so.

I wonder if Andrew Black would like to borrow my copy of Diane Francis' "Merger of the Century" book from 2013?

Why Has Francis Joseph McKenna Never Stopped Meddling in New Brunswick?

 

Why has Francis Joseph McKenna never stopped meddling in New Brunswick?  I wish I knew the answer to that question... as the power club with Frank [ T. D. Bank ] McKenna  meets again this month [ July 13th as reported at The Macdonald Notebook search on Google ] down at Fox Harbour Resort Nova Scotia for their annual shindig with fabulously rich, powerful, etc. ...

my question for old Frankie boy is:  have you ever invited Diane Francis to this Fox Harbour Resort thingy? and... if not...

.. what the hell are you waiting for man?  Diane Francis turns 80 this year and Frank McKenna turns 80 in 2028 .. so they're roughly the same age as President Donald Trump .. so are Frank and Diane acquainted? Are they friendly? Are they foes? Has Frank read any of her books? Does Frank McKenna know that Hillary Clinton his pal sent Diane Francis a congratulatory note on her 2013 book?

"Francis Joseph McKenna (born January 19, 1948) is a Canadian businessman and former politician and diplomat. He is currently Chair of Brookfield Corporation and Deputy Chairman of the Toronto-Dominion Bank. He served as Canadian Ambassador to the United States from 2005 to 2006.^[1] He served as the 27th premier of New Brunswick from 1987 to 1997, winning every seat in the province in his first election.^[2]"
