So instead of swimming over to Florida can the cuban refugees go to those islands to claim asylum, would lighten the load on florida's immigration issues

That's making canada look more and more like a viable alternative with each passing day.

No offence to the Canadians on the board, but how can you take an economic crisis seriously when your currency is called the 'Loonie'?

A name like that deserves all the mockery it can get.

"How many loonies will that cost?"

"I've got 50 loonies in my wallet."

Still, destroy the thief!

In my defence, when I heard him say that I thought he was making it up!

.......I would like to visit Canada. But, they would probably run me off. I would not be able to resist calling people "Hoser" and looking for Labatt Blue. also saying "eh" all the time and asking what it's all "Aboot". but still, cool temperatures, seems like a friendly enough place...The only problem I have with it is there's so many french-esque people and culture.

...Not that I have anything against the french, mind you...it's just that they're so...French....you know...

"But I am Le Tired."

"Well, have a nap. THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!"

This concludes the test of the spamminiacal posting system.
This post was only a joke. If this had been an actual cultural flame, it would have been followed by many replies flaming me back. This was only a test.

Canada has the best reputation of any country with the possible exception of the Swiss. We could annex or invade any country in the world and no one would be the wiser...Canada? That big friendly country? Nah, couldn't be, you must be mistaken. We could probably get away with nuking some 3rd world country...everyone would think it was our southern neighbours. You know...if something "happened" to a few countries in Africa we'd have a good chance of cornering the diamond market.

Canada, you're about a century late for the scramble for colonies for Imperialism...

If Canada doesn't wantit, maybe Germany could annex it. We could even send some mustached soldiers wearing pickelhaubes.

I love Canada. The prospect of part of Canada being tropical is delightful. I'm all for this plan.

In related news, President Bush dispatched 500 US Marines to spearhead "Operation Turko-Caican Freedom"

Since when was our two dollar coin called the Polar? Everyone I know calls it the "twoonie" including myself.

At least it's descriptive. Americans call their dollar bill the "greenback": a term which could just as accurately describe every other denomination of American paper currency as well since they're all the same colour. For such a flashy, well-decorated country, they have very plain-looking money.

I'd think Mallorca is on top of the annexation list for Germany

I blame the fact that the bills came out during the Civil War, and not many people saw something above a dollar at a time during those days...

No, it's called the "twonie", which always bugged me. I mean, how unoriginal can you get?

There was a time when some people were calling it the "moonie", though, 'cause it has a bear bottom.

Just stay away from Quebec and Acadia, then. The vast majority of Canada is predominantly English.

I see Canada is looking for a staging area for the southern front of their upcoming invasion of the US. We had better start to fortify Florida before thousands of Celin Deons start pouring onto the unsuspecting beaches of Miami.

I wouldn't worry, Celine Dion is so thin that they'd all blow over.
