You've got it backwards. I looking forward to the day when Canada Annexes the US. You get New York, Miami Beach and HAwaii in the deal.

Canada kicks Ass, not the other way around, at least trade Quebec for the exististing US territory, they don't want to be Canadian anyway.

[Mr_Canada]

I prefer GreenTiger's suggestion.

Is there really that much difference between the USA and Canada???

You may not see it tritium, but living in only Alberta and Texas will give you that confusion...

We are vastly different. Even if much of it is little crap. The fact we consider that important is notable.

We have our own heroes, our own people, our own symbols, our own history, and definitely our own culture...

And we have our own patriotism.

No the States shouldn't annex Canada. Besides if they did, they'd really regret it, they'd have hundreds of special interest groups, natives, and most importantly (in their minds, at least) Quebec to appease.

O.K. Let's get one thing straight, I was born and raised in Ontario (primary), lived in New Brunswick, Quebec, Alberta and currently living in British Columbia.

Yes I also spent 12 years in Texas and 2 1/2 years in Califonia.

I am not going to disagree with you, we are different in many ways... but we are children of a common mother.



Would the United States consider annexation of Canada... you had better belive it. They invaded Iraq for "OIL" and Canada is the United States biggest supplier of oil in the world.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petr ... mport.html

"Canada remained the largest exporter of total petroleum in February, exporting 2.419 million barrels per day to the United States, which is a decrease from last month (2.586 thousand barrels per day). The second largest exporter of total petroleum was Saudi Arabia with 1.627 million barrels per day."

If for any reason a government got elected into power in Canada that was counter productive to the United States energy policy... oh lets say the Green Party, don't you think the USA might think about drafting up a plan.

And just where have you lived and travelled, besides Brandon and Medicine Hat, that you can base this on? Once you get out in the real world, you'll know that the differences are very insignificant, between Americans, Canadians, Britons, Aussies and Kiwis. Hell, you'll find you have more in common with an American than any of the other three Anglo countries listed.

Once you leave home and make it outside of Medicine Hat(and I don't mean a week end in cosmopolitan Calgary) you'll have to reevaluate and readjust your views.

I could have said that for Quebec...and the culture difference is much deeper than that of you compared to the US, especially the Northern states.

Non merci! There isn't any American territory we would want.. they are so frigged up we could never straighten them out.. so you can keep them.

Economy, culture... not attitude. Quit always being so dam "anti-American" and look at both of our countries history. Seriously.

I can't believe that this thread has been going on for six years!Some troll comes on here trying to piss of Canadians,and to many people are willing to chomp at the bait.Oh well its late I'm bored and I haven't drank enough to pass out yet,so here goes.Tritium....you state in one of your post that the U.S.invaded Iraq for oil.I disagree.I live in the States.If the U.S. has seized Iraq for oil,than why am I paying almost three dollars a gallon for gas?I mean if the U.S. has annexed all those petroleum reserves,I should be paying about fifty cents a gallon.Most Americans are of the consensus that the Iraq invasion was a personal thing between Bush and Sadaam.Junior was finishing what his father couldn't.Bush was determined to take out Sadaam.Nothing was going to stand in his way.WMD was a pluasible excuse if you will.He got his wish.Thousands mabey millions of other people will pay the price for his birthday present to himself.When its all said and done,and the last American soldier comes home from Iraq,I don't see an oil bonanza coming out of the deal for the U.S. The rest of your post concerns an American invasion of Canada over oil.That part of your post has some merit.I think that this century is going to be a challenging one for Canada.Canadians like to think that the world likes them.They do.But Norway,The Netherlands,Belgium and Finland were all well liked in 1940.They happenned to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.Lots of countries in the Pacific were well liked in 1941.Many of them possesed much needed raw materials.The world today looks a lot like the 1930's.The economy sucks big time,just like the 30's.Certain countries today that have felt thier status as major powers diminish(U.S. Russia)want thier power back,just like Germany and Italy in the 30's Certain havenots like China want to become a have just like Japan in the 30's.Nationalism is on the rise everywhere.Lots of countries are going to be competing for the same resources.An ever dwindling supply of resources.What does that mean for Canada? At first more business,more trade,more money.Then the arm twisting will start.Demands for special concessions,favored trade agreements,drilling rights, incursions into your territorial waters etc.etc.The whole world will be bringing pressure to bear.Canada will be squeezed from all sides,not just the States,everyone.Canada has two things working against it.Resources and location.You have the recources the wolrd needs,and they will be coming.Canada has a location problem. You have all that land,but most of it is uninhabited.Wasn't it last year that serveral countries were planting thier flags in the Artic? The receding ice caps have opened up new sea lanes in the Artic.Everyone wants a piece of the action.Major powers are ready to carve it up like a Thanksgiving turkey.Canada might be forced to pick sides.Now I'm not saying that this is going to happen,Iam just responding to a scenario that was posted about an invasion of Canada by the States.Its just a theory,don't start stockpiling ammo just yet.I don't want to tell you your business,but if I was living in Canada I would be concerned about the Artic sea lanes.I would be calling my rep on that one.Oh well enough fiction for one night.Have a good one.

[Arctic_Menace]

Fucking sweet necro thread.

[Mr_Canada]

I hate this thread. Ugh.

Anyhow, Trit and Shep. I could give less of a fuck how similar our histories are. I could care even less that we both "came from the same mother". It doesn't mean we have to move in the same destructive path as them without any of our own say. It doesn't mean that we should be absorbed into their POS culture. It doesn't mean that we have to move in the same path as them for the future. What is with you people believing that Canada shouldn't have it's own say in the world?

I really don't recall saying that. You sure you're not confusing me with someone else? Oh well, if I'm going to be accussed of such a statement, might as well play the part...
