America + Canada = The Biggest Country on Earth?

Tomorrow morning, a new country appears on the map. Bigger than Russia. 380 million people. And nobody voted for it. What actually happens if the United States and Canada become one country? We look at the size, the people, the money, the oil, the military, and the very awkward problems: healthcare, the King, the flag, the anthem, and Quebec. Plus the history most people never learned: America has been trying to merge with Canada for 250 years, including a clause in its first constitution that invited Canada to join anytime.
