33. Why? Why Fight Canada When It's Clear Californians Aren't...
...happy with a fascist America uber ales Texan-takeover?

Oh, and I'm, by the way, a Californian first, and foremost.

If I had to choose between a Nazi-style, oppressive government like the one we might be facing for another four years, and a French, socially sensitive-everyone-has-healthcare-dentalcare-poverty-battling-not-garnering-striving-for-peace French-style America...I'd choose the latter, thanks very much!

Had I been asked this threads question in the Clinton years, I might've given the same answer as you.

But not today. Not after the past four years.

4. We'd give you more of a fight than you think
What with most of your army being in Iraq, PLUS us having technology, believe it or not.

8. No better snipers in the world than Canada.
Tricky bastards.

In afghanistan, Canadian snipers using american ammo set the record for the longest kill shot ever.

14. Nope, Canada (Specifically New Brunswick) has the most advanced in the
World.

I think it comes from the need to link up a huge sparsely populated country

22. Depends where you buy
I know you can get some for like $10 an acre in certain places but you must make improvements upon it.

11. Yeah, but our army of goodly christian soldiers
would have prayer circles and stuff, and send you demon socialist commie bastards right back to the great white north with a single admonishing blow from god on high.

Born again Christians are our secret weapon.

9. CANADA INVADES

November 19 2004, Buffalo NY (AP Newswire) - Today Canada invaded, crossing the borders into the United States in multiple locations. We have imbedded reporters with the National Guard units repelling the attacks. SGT Franks of the New York National Gaurd reported, "Yeah they came across in waves, and I think they pumped their guns up ten times because some of the BBs really stung." Surprisingly the Canadian Navy never reached the shores, it appears the canoe tipped over killing both members of the Canadian Navy. The attack lasted a mere 15 minutes, when the US actually got a bit hostile, but the peace accord took quite a while as the American Ambassadors negotiating peace kept chuckling everytime the Canadian Representatives used terms like "Aboot" and "Get Oot of Our Lands eh." But a peace accord was reached and we will continue to recieve Maple Syrup, Hockey, Comedians, and Lumber from them as before.

17. There'd be plenty of doughnuts!
A highly purposeful food...can be used as a weapon, and to pacify the population.

You'll need them after smoking all that weed anyway.

21. Fast food would improve
You'd be able to get fresh poutine without having to haul it across the border. Plus, beer would increase both in price and quality.
