. . . . or we could just wait about 20 years and get Alberta, BC and the Yukon for free. Don't need the prairie socialists anyway.

But I wonder what will happen to the Maritimes?

Since the 1960's, when DeGaulle started kicking up the Quebec secession fuss, the U.S. State Department has quietly kept a plan for absorbing English-speaking Canada should Quebec secede.

The feeling was that the Confederation would not hold if physically separated by a now-foreign Quebec. The Maritimes, feeling very isolated, would quickly ask for admittance to the Union. Once they went, it would then be dominos, starting from British Columbia and moving east, with Ontario as the last hold out.

I haven't heard anything about this in a while; I wonder what the latest thinking is?

Reminds me of my favorite joke about Canadians. I repeat it here with love and admiration, you hosers.

Q: Why do Canadians like to have sex doggie-style?

A: So they can both watch the hockey game.

If we get the maritimes, we could build a frozen vodka storage facility called Manigulpit.

George's comment reminds me of an old joke:

What's the difference between heaven and hell?

In heaven, the cops are British,
the cars are German,
the cooks are French,
the lovers are Italian,
and everything is run by the Swiss.

In hell, the cops are German,
the cars are French,
the cooks are British,
the lovers are Swiss,
and everything is run by the Italians.

Okay ...
1. Maine-New Brunswick border;
2. Washington-British Columbia border;
3. Alaska-British Columbia border

The solutions proposed do have one advantage: Canadian Beer would become domestic beer. However ...

Who would USN subs practice against to determine how good they (USN) are?

Cheers

I think you're a tad confused about something.....we Canadians are going to take YOU over, one state at a time. And after we've conquered the US, we're going international, spreading Nanaimo Squares and Liberal patronage everywhere.

It is futile to resist.

Do not be concerned by Jane's tough talk. She spends more times in the states hitting the Nordstrom's rack for her Imelda sized shoe collection as well as helping to keep Las Vegas up and running all by herself. All this, even with the a lousy currency exchange!

Let's compare and contrast.

The North America Act of 1867

OR

The Declaration of Independence

One sounds like it's a peice of ordinary parliamentary business, the other means exactly what is says.

Jeez, this is just sad.

You guys need to get some hot-shit writers up there. No wait, I get the plot, you're going to bore the world into submission. Yeah, that's it.

Since it's Canada Day I felt it was my responsibility to watch South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut

Ahh... Asses of Fire... one of the finest movies ever made.

Done.
But you have to get Quebec to take on responsibility for Nunavut (let the punishment fit the crime, I always say), and it would be great if you could make the Maritimes a U.S. territory or protectorate or something (they're a good bunch over there). Yukon and the NWT can become "Greater Alaska."
Then "Canada" would be Ontario. But they think that's true already, anyway.
