What are the implications of Canada adopting America's currency? What
would be the advantages and disadvantages of this?

If Europe is adopting a single currency, why can't the N. Americans
adopt the USD?


Advantages:

You save on the cost of changing money.

Trade is less risky.

Disadvantage - you lose control over monetary policy.
