Diane Francis

Diane Francis: That's the argument from pundit, author, HuffPost blogger and American-born dual citizen Diane Francis in her new book "Merger of the Century," and it's already starting plenty of conversation about the future of a North American union, according to Huffington Post. These "giant holding company" nations are "wolves at the door," Francis told CBC and It's time for Canada to merge with the United States. Francis' argument centres around what she sees as the threat posed by state-run economies such as China and Russia to Western prosperity. In her view, these nations are using a variety of nefarious means to buy up Western resources and corporations while barring such purchases in their own nations. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
