I would like to say Mr. Troung, in history the last time you tried that we had your Whitehouse burned down; with the brits help ofcourse Remember this, if you march North, consider your country gone. Mexicans on one side will look at that as an opportunity and overthrow your government, while we continue to play hockey at the bemusement of freezing Americans like troung
Canada has a five thousand man military (including a two ship navy and a few helicopters), so what it would take two-three BCTs to overwhelm them? And the entire population is within shelling range from our side of the border. The boys will be back home by X-mas.

We will settle our Canadian prisoners in the south and use them as slave labor to build walls to keep the Mexicans out.

Water and a wall - two birds with one stone.

England is irrelevant - it is 2008 not 1808. Haven't been a military power since what 1914 and even then with India/Australia/New Zealand/Kenya. We saved them in WW-2 for a reason. So they could show up to "rescue" Canada, wouldn't make a damn difference. We'll bring in Argentina to deal with them and free Scotland.

Hockey and cricket will be banned after we burn down Toronto.

Uh,Troung?Lansing is the capital of Michigan,not Detroit .The latest unemployment figures for March stand at 7.1%,horrific I'll admit but Economic history usually has Michigan taking the dive into recession before the rest of the U.S. but we are also usually one of the first states out as well.As for the water situation,we in the Great Lakes states are just as pissed as Canada at the attempt to sell off our watersheds so that people in Las Vegas and Phoenix can have green lawns.....you moved to a desert...live with it or move here .

Huh? Never heard of it, sounds like something you name your son when you are sure he will grow up to be gay.

We should either take total control of the Minor Lakes or cut our losses and ditch New Mexico and Arizona.

And you probably live in Lancing and watch cricket on the weekends.

I would assume cricket or some gay issue related.

Hockey is boring and should have stayed on strike - forever.

Grab the highlanders and their bag pipes we have - hillbillies and jugs.

As much as burning down something Canada related is a good thing, it would be bad to do anything to aid Canada - even if it would be burning down the capital of that cold, cruel nation.

Hopefully during the coming conflict we lose California as well...

What on earth are you talking about? England ceased being a military power in 1707 when the Act of Union came into force. After that date there have only been British forces. We have British passports, not English ones. We use British currency, not English. Do try to grasp the basics of history (and geography) before you start beating your gums in such an ignorant fashion.

Glyn,

Why are you taking a thread about bagpipes and hillbillies and Celine Dion seriously?

Uhm he is British, if they don't have something to mock about, it's a day wasted.

And to Canada...I can't understand why someone would not want them as their neighbour. Tell you what, how about we make a deal. We get Canada, and we send you Poland, the Netherlands and Austria (I wanted to include France in the deal frist, but who would agree to that, and it would be kinda anoying if we would have to cross the atlantic everytime we want to invade them.). If thats not got enough I could offer you Sachsen (saxony) too, we don't understand what they say anyway, but it sounds funny.
