WASHINGTON, D.C. - WASHINGTON, D.C. — Phew!
The U.S. and Mexico aren't scheming to invade Canada, according to U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
On Wednesday, she thrice denied that a closed-door meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mexico's foreign minister was to plot a takeover of Canada.
"This isn't some secret thing to invade Canada or something like that?" a reporter asked Nuland during a press briefing about why a signing ceremony between the two countries wasn't open to the press.
"No, no, no," Nuland replied. "It's not anything classified."
That's a relief.
Canada has upgraded their ballistas to now lob curling stones.
As long as they get the maple syrup!
Remember the River Raisin!
(The northern version of Remember the Alamo)
The Americans were able to beat the British on American soil, but the Canadians beat us on theirs. Rather handily.
Actully, the primary reason that we won that war - and we did win it - was our victory on Canadian soil at Moraviantown in 1813, where we achieved the most decisive milestone of the land war.
We, the United States, killed Tecumseh there.
After that, the continued American sovereignty over the Northwest Territory and the Louisiana Purchase was assured. Only Tecumseh, the greatest Native American War leader/statesman ever to live, could have prevented it.
My brother's closely involved in this operation and the invasion is on.For years we've been fed up to the gills with their maple syrup,hockey pucks and refusal to pronounce "aboot" correctly.
Cat’s out of the bag, eh?
We crave your walleye, beer and clear water.
I’m fond of the milk in a plastic bag deal, too.
I’d like to see Canada Tire move south and add firearms to their SKU’s.
But, the cigarettes have to go, and those ministry dudes in the floating planes who drop in on you and squeeze the fishes tails to a gnat’s ass in order to write a citation get old real quick.
You can keep the no-see-ums too!
Better git going on your invasion plans - winter starts next week.
We’re not worried....you Yanks would run out of supplies just stumbling around trying to find us.
Then there’s this:
Nope...not worried at all.
BTW we’ll gladly trade Quebec for Alaska. Whadaya say?
When socialist governments tax all the productivity out of their own economies they are left with no choice but to invade their neighbors.
Lots of oil in Alberta, lots of metals in Sudbury, and lots of doughnuts at Tim Hortons...
We've already got that covered. The 8th Winter Warfare Battalion will be mobilized from its headquarters in Key West,Florida!
Not no, but HELL NO!!!
After the upset of the PQ victory in the Provincial election in Quebec and indeed the sadness of Canadians on the news of murders of Americans in the Middle East, we need a laugh.
Boys oh boys, the spectre of the habitants of Quebec moaning and whining no matter who and what, would send most Americans scurrying back to the pleasant confines of New York State. I drove through Quebec once and continued down to Rouses Point NY. Felt like I was home. (laughs).
It’s cold up there! And lots of trees.
That's pretty funny. The USA invading Ward Cleaver's home, and assisted by Cousin Eddie in his RV.
How do you train staff officers on preparing war plans? By writing war plans. You figure out how many troops you need, what logistics you need, how many trucks and planes you need to support them, etc. etc. etc. And then you keep those staff exercises in the files just in case you need them. The level of detail usually matches how seriously we take the threat. Landing troops in Iran and taking out their nuclear facilities probably has shelves full of war plans, while the invasion of Canada is much sparser.
However, we should invade and conquer Canada in order to force them to take Detroit as part of their terms of surrender. :-)
The nation will not invade, the people fleeing having to carry lazy ignorant, stupid, democrats , will.
Canada is far more capitalist and conservative than the US is.
We’ll take Detroit and you take Quebec.:)
