| Minnesota should invade Canada.
Hmm... if most Canadians live all bunched up along the US border, why not just annex that strip of land? They clearly want to be here. Just extend the territories of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine a little bit. Then we wouldn't have to worry about the border, currency exchange, NAFTA, etc.

| Dude! That's what NAFTA is for! We're buying Canada. They just don't know it, yet. Boy, will they be surprised when we forclose...
Besides, Canadians don't necessarily want to be a part of the US, it's just that the majority of the blinkin' country is uninhabitable by civilized folks except for the extreme southern parts. (We don't really consider Winnepeg or Edmonton to be civilized.)

| Why would you want to annex part of Canada? They don't build cars, don't make computer chips, don't make movies, don't create technologies, don't make much of anything except lumber and cows. Seems like annexing part of Canada would cause a net decrease in both countries' per-capita GDPs.

| Hey, Winnipeg's civilized, you just have to be looking at the right time to see it.
As for Edmonton - how would you explain such a huge shopping mall? | |

| Cold weather and harsh conditions make you a better fencer. If you can survive an Edmonton winter, you can make it through most DE's.

Where there are ignorant non-fencers, you must go and spread the word! Where there are fledgling fencers, go and lead and teach them, and lead them on the path of righteousness! Or leftousness. Whichever hand they prefer. | |
