The world can not cut its self off from 48% of its GDP

What they would've traded with the US they could trade amongst each other, making up for the loss of yankee trade.

Your ignoring the fact that the reason that the nations send all their crap to the U.S. is because the "Yankees" are the only ones with enough money to pay for all of it. Just face the facts, the world dosen't care about Canada and they're not going to bite the hand that feeds them, even if we annex all of North America.

Notice that they already are trading amongst each other?

The sudden loss of a $10 trillion dollar economy will devestate the rest of the world's economy in short order. The current international trade will not make up for an embargo on the United States.

Most of the stuff sold in the US is made in China or some other Far East country.

The'd loose a lot of oil supplies that way.

And the economy would be fucked majorly too, the military wouldn't have the monetary backing anymore.

We wouldnt need oil from the rest of the world if we got Canada. Oil is a major industry in Canada. Plus theirs plenty of oil in Alaska.

"Let's see... On the agenda, we have the US invading Canada... What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Canada should belong to us. We're so close and friendly, we just thought they'd like it better under our form of government ^^"
"Ahh... Ok. Next on the agenda, we have Brazil using penguins as soldiers..."
"Wait! I represent Canada, and we resent the US invasion!"
"What Canada? The US took them over! There is no Canada anymore!"
"We Canadians resent the US' treatment of us!"
"Alright... What do you want us to do?"
"We would like to request UN intervention to halt this uncalled attack."
"Alright... All in favor, raise your hand..."
China, Russia, France raise their hands. Great Britain doesn't because they're our bitch.
"We as America veto this Security Council resolution."
"Ok. Moving on..."

I do have to wonder sometimes, why do some Americans have this obsession with invading and taking over Canada?

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2003-01-02 10:24pm

It annoys the shit out of them that we don't feel inferior to them, so they want to teach us a lesson. I'm sure some psychologist could re-phrase that in a much more long-winded bullshit manner.

Who said we actually wanna invade Canada?

If there was a widespread movement in the U.S. to actually invade Canda then craven, poll worshiping, politicians would be more then ready to comply. The continued existence of Canada is a testament to our willingness to get along with our northern neighbors. As odd as it may sound, the soverignty of Canada rests completly upon popular opinion in the U.S.

We tried during the American Revolution to take Canada and failed. So, those Americans looking to invade Canada are just obsessed with what could have been.

Anyway, what if the US invaded say Quebec? Would the rest of Canada give a shit or would they be glad to get rid of Quebec?

Well, from what I understand of many Canadians' opinions on Quebec...

...they'd probably help!

The American's have invaded Canada 3 times, and 3 times they failed.

What makes this time any different?

America invaded Canada? What happened each time, specifically?

Revolutionairy war: Marched to Quebec/Montreal, half the men like froze to death in the winter, the rest were defeated by the French Canadians manning the walls.

War of 1812: Invaded Niagra, defeated the first time by General Sir Isaac Brock, result was the US Militia refused to go to Canada. Then later they invaded again, got much further in, before the British gathered enough troops and Indians to stand and fight, defeating the Americans, who then retreated back to the US.

A fourth little known invasion wasn't such really, the Fenian Raids, in the 1860's(?): A bunch of Irish Americans thought that by taking Canada they could liberate Ireland. Soundly defeated by the Militia.

What a bitch slap in the face it must be for America to know that it was bested by Frenchy Canadians.

Atleast we could blame the failure on the season since it was the winter.
