Talk:Movements for the annexation of Canada to the United States

message: This article is just horrible. I cannot comprehend half of it. And it talks of all these attempts to annex Canada (both pre and post confederation) yet excludes the War of 1812? THis article appears o not even be worth fixing in my opinion.say1988 03:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I also agree, plus the two Rebellions of 1837 were NOT annexationist in nature, they were launched with a goal of creating either one or two Canadian Republics sovereign of Britain, not bringing Canada into the United States. Please change that! - Chris Gilmore
I introduced some changes, but I still think that this article is CRAP! Any reader who knows nothing of Canada reading this before I made some changes may have actually thought that annexationism was a serious political movement within Canada! I am not well educated enough and free of time to add in an indepth article regarding the War of 1812 so I'll leave that up to someone else. 
In all actuality despite the work fixing this stupid article that I have done, I still think it should be deleted, just because it is not really relavant to Canadian politics or Canada-U.S. relations. Practically no Canadians take this idea seriously or want it, no Americans are interested either and an annexationist "party" has not only ever garnered any popular support but I dont even think an annexationist party has ever run for office in Canada!
I think this article is about as silly as an article about Catholic orangemen or Israeli neo nazis! -

HOWEVER, the American Articles of Confederation allowed for the possible future inclusion of Canada into the United Colonies, et al. Tomtom9041--68.80.207.22 14:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: the article is needed because there is massive misinformation inside Canada to the effect that Americans wanted to annex the country. That is the reason for the books and articles on the topic. It also helps answer another question, why did not the countries ever merge. Rjensen 22:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  sources need work 

message: I'm a little concerned with our use of the poll.  It's fine to quote Leger for a Canada wide figure, which they claim a 2.5% margin on.  But, they don't make any claim about the error rate at a provincial level.  They polled 1508 people nationally.  The numbers on a provincial level, are well below what's considered an adequate sample.  If we use the poll, there should be some indepndent sources that either support or refute the poll's legitimacy.  Take Alberta, with about 10% of the population, they presumably asked about 151 Albertans.  How accurate of results do you get from that?  And how can you compare different provinces?  The graphic used at the top appears far more authoritative than it is. --Rob (talk) 20:06, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, both with the inanity of such polls (based on such low numbers, from an existing selection group of subjects) and also with the presentation of the poll on the map, which does not show the percentages against (which are obviously much higher); me, I'm going to be bold and just delete it; it's way too POV and looks to me like a sell-job.  And that's coming from somebody who's always considered the 49th Parallel a nuisance and, while not a rightist, has some sympathies for annexation (I'm "half American" on both sides, though my parents gave up their duality before I was born).Skookum1 (talk) 00:00, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
