Canadian sailors to go ashore in Biloxi

[Spazito]

As many as 300 Canadian sailors are preparing to go ashore in Biloxi, Mississippi, today to help in the hurricane Katrina recovery effort.

The sailors arrived in the U.S. Gulf Coast on Monday aboard two Canadian warships now anchored off Biloxi -- HMCS Athabaskan and HMCS Ville De Quebec.

Last night, the ships delivered relief supplies to Pensacola, Fla. The cargo included everything from lumber, blankets and chainsaws, to diapers and cots.

Cmdr. Stu Moors, the commanding officer of HMCS Toronto -- a third ship due in the area later Tuesday -- said the sailors from Athabaskan and Ville de Quebec will help in the reconstruction and cleanup in Biloxi.

1. This is it! The opening those Canuck bastards have been waiting for!

To arms! To arms! They're back to finish the job they started in 1812. They're coming to overthrow the United States government!

Hey . . . not such a bad idea. To arms! To arms! Assist the liberators! Assistez les liberateurs!

[Stuckinthebush]

4. LOL!

Assist the liberators, indeed!

I think Alabama would make a nice Canadian province.

13. They're just bring a bunch of hockey pucks but on their way back home...

* The systematic destruction and sublimation of all opposing the Canadian reign -- and the polite, yet horrifically brutal, control of our future territories of conquest.

* Infiltrating the USA and through a cleverly designed plan, destroying it, and using its resources for our own purposes.

* Demonstrating to the world that Canada is the final and ultimate power.

* Decontaminating the world of American influence.

* Reorganizing a New World Society of Canucks to suit our kindly, peace-loving, and diabolical aims.

2. Sad isn't it?

We have enough servicemen of our own to do this, but lack the leadership to deploy them to aid our own people.

[Nabia2004]

16. ..so we have Canadian, Mexican, and $350 day Mercenary troops filling in

sad indeed, something is very wrong here.

[JoFerret]

3. Thanks Canada

...always ahead of the US in every humanitarian effort.

5. The RED COATS are coming.. The RED COATS are coming.

LOL! I just had to say that.

6. Remember, boys,

don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes!

[AnneD]

7. Shoot?

I'm busy tieing my surrender flag on my rifle---I want to be in a Canacian provience.

[Benhurst]

8. So do I.

What make you think I was addressing the Murkins? :rofl:

[TrogL]

10. OK, what have you got to offer?

I can make a few calls.

[Benhurst]

12. Blankets and beads from England. NT

[TrogL]

14. We've got our own blankets (Hudson's Bay) , China outbid you on the beads

[Benhurst]

18. If I'm not mistaken, your Hudson's Bay blankets and

beads for trading came from England. China outbids everyone on everything these days. Would you be interested in a slightly-used, well-rested, unelected president?

[Maple]

19. Nah...Hudson's Bay Company has been around since 1670

so we've long since made our own blankets...and beds.

And Bush is all yours. :7

[skooooo]

9. there goes the neighborhood!

[deacon2]

11. Under these circumstances, I could learn to like maple syrup...n/t

[Canuckistanian]

17. It's mandatory in Canada

Everyone in Canada must be able to recite last week's hockey score, order a Tim Horton's donut in French and consume about a quart of maple syrup each month.

If you don't believe me, look it up!

[Sacajawea]

20. I'm in. Fell in love with Alberta back in '75. Want to go back to see...

the Burgess Shales.

Merci beaucoup, mes amis. Your largesse and humanity are MUCH appreciated. :loveya:

[confludemocrat]

15. Thanks Canada, best gift since you sent the Acadians. We need all the help

we can get from people who really care! Apparently we don't have enough of them within our borders.

[Sgent]

21. Damn

I always thought they'd come over the northern border. Now they have a Navy better than ours?

[phusion]

22. Interesting...

There was a completely different response here in GD when it was announced the Mexican Army was coming to help. Instead of the "Thanks!" in this thread, it was more like "I cannot believe this." "This is scary...", etc.

I dunno...Just a weird phenomenon.

edit: OK, just realized I'm in LBN. :eyes: Regardless, point still holds...damnit.

:)

[RedCloud]

24. yes, welcome oil hoarding buddies from the north!

I even like maple leaves.
