At least I can AFFORD Canadian Health insurance. Id rather die in the waiting room than go hungry at the end of the month. And when Im old Id rather have my pills than not.

It would do you well to know that we're halfway there, then; the U.S. healthcare system is at least 40-50% socialized.

Ha! As if 1000-lb bombs would have any effect whatsoever on Canada's most massive object.

EDIT: Aerial target identification profile added (not that it will do any good; even a MOAB is unlikely to penetrate the outer epidermis):

Canada USED to have a slew of nukes, of course, the government sold them back to the US.

I think the NG's might have a problem, after all, the New York Militia refused to fight in Canada, and the Kentucky Militia was defeated in the Niagra Penninsula.

Ground assault is clearly out of the question, as well. Even our most powerful armor-piercing rounds couldn't get through that blubber.

Nineteenth century British victories over half-drunk, untrained 90-day militias that went home in the middle of the campaign do not reflect current Canadian capabilities against the National Guard.

The Quebec Regime is tyrannical and evil. It is the responsibility of England to kill them all, then systematically nuke their place of origin, France, to cinders. I realize this may strike some of the liberals in my government as 'harsh'. Some might bring up the detrimental effects to those downwind of France after such a devastating first-strike. My brothers, I am sure we can all agree the smell they perpetrate is far worse than nuclear fallout!

In short, we must act, and we must act quickly. France must be annihilated. Our loyal mini-... I mean, fellow members of the Commonwealth need rescuing. I will immediately contact our chief puppe-... I mean, the President of America to assure his involvement.

Rita MacNeil is not a Weapon of Mass Destruction, she is a Mass Weapon of Destruction. Don't invade just yet, but if we should see the Canadians place her atop a ski jump that just happens to be facing south, then maybe a pre-emptive strike would be in order.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
