Our neighbors to the north sure do have a lot of good resources, huge amounts of prime farmland will be opened up by a warming climate, and it ain't like Britain is able to hold onto their colonies very well.

It would certainly be better to call it an annexation, instead of invasion, but for those who remember the movie, Reign of Fire, the appropriate attitude is, "we can do this easy, or we can do this real easy."

On their own, they are a petty little nothing of a country with a lot of land, but as part of the United States, they might actually matter in the world.

What say you?

I suspect the Canadians have a somewhat different opinion as to whether or not they matter.

#5: We know metric. 'Member that satellite that was lost forever 'cuz you couldn't figure out metres? Dumbasses.
#6: The full might of the Commonwealth would be behind us; ANZACs on your west coast, Celtic Bravehearts ravening over the pole and taking out Alaska, and India would boycott all helpdesk functions: you'd be paralysed in no time.

There's nothing to worry about here for Canadians. Your southern neighbours have so obviously gone soft and present no threat.

Whatever happened to good old days policy of invade first and ask questions later? I can't believe that I am actually seeing Americans discuss and debate the merits of invading another country. It used to be 'Bomb the place into the Stone Age, send in the Marines and shoot any surviving living thing ... and then ask questions (if any were left to be asked)'. This policy, which worked so well for the USA in the past, seems to have been abandoned and replaced by a foppish group of dilettantes calmly discussing the merits and demerits of invading ... like a girls debating society. Pass the mascara puh-llleeeaaasssseee!*

So Canadians can sleep well knowing that their southern neighbours have lost their mojo. Wimps don't do invasions!

* No excuses. There were given ample warning about the consequences of fluoridising the water supply and ignored the peril. Serves 'em right.

True. But everyone knows Queen Mary really ran the joint.

America wasn't in the war in 14..................they didn't get there until 19 and yes, it was George fifth.
America wasn't in the second war until 41 and again it was a king, George sixth. The Queen as she is now, stayed in London with her family and actually drove a truck (an ambulance I believe) through a good chunk of that stoush.
I am not a monarchist by any stretch of the imagination. I am very anti and I believe they are leeches but I am baffled as to how the americans claim to have 'saved' them ? saved them from what or who ? and when ? and how ?

America invading Canada would make a good plot for a movie but please, can we have a non-American director and producer ? That way it might turn out semi-believable

There people go again, talking about invasions! Liberation! The word is liberation! Don't you understand? Those poor people have never feasted on decent chicken wings. That is why we must go in. That and to help ourselves to some of that liquid gold.

I find it interesting that you think we have become a peaceful people and that this is a bad thing. Do you really equate peacefulness with wimpiness?

With american forces, I think Lichtenstein might be preferable, or maybe Luxembourg..............I think though with the way things have been going lately, San Marino might be about the right fighting weight as long as they don't bring all their forces to bear on the american liberators.

yanks, you've forgotten or were never taught about the first time you tried to invade Canada, and the burning of Washington in Aug 1814 [and unlike you churls, we burnt only gov't buildings and preserved private homes]:
c'mon, make our bicentennial!

I could go along with the conjoined nation thing - as long as Rob Ford was named as president-for-life.

Wasn't there some talk of the north invading Canada diring the 61-65 war of aggression ? I vaguely remember reading about that somewhere. What became of that ?
