1. They got NAFTA
Them Canadians are getting fat off of the slave labor of our illegal immigrants.

25. Yeah, but when we hit an energy crisis, we can take their oil.
Didn't seem too bad for the US after all.

14. Nope. Same goes for Australia
The only tie these countries have to Britain is that we share our head of State, the Queen. But Canada and Australia are both completely independent countries in every respect that counts.

10. And you have invaded America!
There's a Tim Hortons here in West Carrollton, Ohio now. I hope you all are successful in your take over bid. We need more donuts and less bombs.

There's a Tim Hortons on Olentangy River Road in Columbus just by where I used to live in the mid 80's; I could have used that place back then...

Get any winners in the "Roll Up The Win To Win" yet? I had a good year; 5 coffees and 3 donuts:)
