I was driving down from Indiana to Miami one January and I kept getting passed by cars with Canadian plates. My thought at the time was "I should go lot Canada, there's nobody home right now."

I think the US invading Canada would be like the Nazis invading Austria, only quicker, easier and more popular :{D
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

If Canada wasn't getting ready to invade the US, why have they massed 30 million people along our northern border?

I think that it would only be fair to invade Canada. After all, we invaded Mexico and took Mexico City, so why not finally take Canada over once and for all? This time, they won't have the British to fight for them...

But...we would have to the Frenchie-types among them, as well as the Newfies. Can't we just take everything else and leave them to the bears?

We do not surprise easily. :cranky:
Defence Scheme No. 1 was created on April 12, 1921 and ...American counterpart was War Plan Red, a plan to invade Canada as part of a war with Britain, created in 1930.[1]
That's cheating! :lay: :what:

Point of fact: In 1921, Canada was part of the UK so it would be quite reasonable to invade it in the event we had to go to war with the Limeys.

Moreover, it was "a plan created by Canadian Director of Military Operations and Intelligence Lieutenant Colonel James "Buster" Sutherland Brown, for a Canadian pre-emptive invasion of the United States."

Pre-emptive????

Pre-emptive????!!!!

How dare they? I thought preemption was something the 'merkins invented, and that prior to the Iraq War, every good country was diligent in protecting national sovereignty and would never even dream of attacking first....
As historian Pierre Berton noted in his book Marching as to War, the investigation had "a zany flavour about it, reminiscent of the silent comedies of the day." To illustrate this, Berton quoted from Brown's reports, in which Brown recorded, among other things, that in Burlington, Vermont the people were "affable" and thus unusual for Americans; that Americans drink significantly less alcohol than Canadians ......, and that upon pointing out that to Americans, one responded "My God! I'd go for a glass of beer. I'm going to 'Canady' to get some more"; that the people of Vermont would be serious soldiers only "if aroused"; and that many Americans might be sympathetic with the British cause.
Americans...rarely affable, and not as drunk as Canadians....that was Canadian intelligence... lol...
