I moved to this city a few years ago. And I still fucking live here.
Why? I don’t fucking know. Someone opened their door a few doors down from me at 6:30 pm and got shot in the face with a pistol. What the fuck is that shit?
P.S - Women should always be in the kitchen, doing kitchen type things.

Dude, the war of 1812 was started because the British tried to invade the U.S. and take it back as a colony. I think Canada’s involvement was indirect, based on that they were still a British colony at that point and therefore a natural staging ground. Your independence from Britain came what, about 50 years after that?
Calhoun was forever running for President. He was probably just talking tough to try to drum up support.

Actually Bob, the British were impressing US sailors (military and merchant) into service (to fight against Napoleon). The British, in an effort to defeat Napoleon, were enforcing a blockade (and often “expropriated” US merchants’ goods) to prevent the US from trading with the little Frenchman. This wreaked havoc on the US export trade. The British, between 1808-1812 seized almost four hundred US merchant ships that were bound for Napoleonic ports. There was also a group of Warhawks (US congressman, mostly from the South) who were intent on kicking the British the off North American soil. Most American politicians believed that Canadians would not be opposed to kicking the British out and becoming American. Jefferson’s policies had stirred up trouble with the various tribes, who felt they were being cheated of their hunting grounds.
Thomas Jefferson also stated that the invasion of Canada would be “a mere matter of marching”. Thush, a nation of approximately 8 million (the US) completely failed to subdue a struggling colony of approx. 300 000. At war’s end, the only Americans on Canadian soil were prisonners of war. The British were in control of all of Michigan Territory and parts of Indiana and Ohio. Three American armies had been forced to surrender.
So while the British were being dicks, so were the Americans. It was in response to a speech by James Madison that the US DECLARED WAR ON GREAT BRITAIN on June 18 1812.
And to be clear: Confederation (the union of four British colonies into ONE country: Canada, not independence) happened in 1867, formal independence was granted with the Statute of Westminster in 1931, and Canada repatriated its constitution, allowing us to amend it without approval from Great Britain in 1982.

One of my instructors in the army said that Hitler apparently saw Canadian soldiers as the best soldiers.
I’ve searched the net for this but to no avail but I must say in all honesty that it’s a nice thing for the SOB to say.
Also, Canada doesn’t need it to be winter to invade somewhere. Canadians can kill anyone anywhere any time any way. And all this with only a sharpened toothbrush and completely naked.

It’s because initially, the soldiers from the other country would be stunned at the size of our above average packages, then, while they were feeling inadequate, we stab them.

Or people would laugh because “Canadian soldiers” actually doing something is fucking hilarious. Yes I know the long shot record is held by a Canadian sniper, but he was using US arms and ammo and admitted he could not have done it with his Canadian equipment.

Excuse me? Canadian soldiers are with you Yanks in the most dangerous parts of Aghanistan. We are doing more than our share in that country. Some Coalition countries need to man up (I’m looking your way Germany and France). We might be under-equipped, but that’s not the soldiers’ fault, that’s fuckwad politicians (of all political parties). On a soldier for soldier basis, Canadians are as tough as they come.

Actually our special forces are considered some of the best in the world, and the rest of our forces are quite good as well. Just because we don’t have great funding and some of the leadership is screwy doesn’t mean we won’t fuck your shit up, son.

I remember an episode of West Wing where some hunters accidentally crossed the Canadian border and refused to give up their guns to the RCMP. There was then a stand off which almost resulted in a war. Finally, the NSA chick in charge was like “THERE IS NO WAR WITH CANADA!” and came up with the brilliant idea of cancelling hunting season. She declared hunting season over so that everyone could retreat to their own countries.

Well, being a hippy and all I guess you’re not into all that war and fighting stuff? Just peace and love.
And, who wouldn’t want Canada? With all the natural resource deposits we have up here, plus the beauty of the country, combined with the fantastic people and beautiful women. Maybe you’re not into that kind of thing, but that’s alright.
Yeah it may get a little cold at times, but it’s worth it. Don’t get your poncho in a bunch just because you were born in a horrible place. At least you have…the fattest population ever?!? That has to be worth something.

Right, nobody wants Canada because all we have here is a bunch of fresh water, crude oil, potash, trees, and hot women.
Try again.
