Join the U.S.? No way, say most Canadians surveyed. But nearly a quarter may be open to it (www.cbc.ca)

Two recent surveys suggest most Canadians actually agree on something: that U.S. president-elect Donald Trump should keep his hands off Canada.

However, one survey found that a significant chunk of Canadians, nearly a quarter, were at least open to the idea. And another poll found about the same percentage of Americans were also supportive of a merge.

The polls conducted by Abacus Data and Angus Reid Institute follow comments by Trump who has mused that Canada could be annexed by the U.S. and become the 51st state.

In related news, nearly a quarter of Canadians read at a 6th grade level, and 20% of those are functionally illiterate.
