The middle east wouldn't be of much help because I can't picture the US letting in foreigners from Canada, and if it was an all out war like World War 2, I don't see it being easy to have people just fly in from the middle east.
Dude, they're already here. All tose wonderful sleeper cells that the US is scared to death of. In both the US and Canada they could be your neighbor or your kids teacher, you have no idea most of the time till its too late. We wouldn't need to fly them in, we just stop trying to stop them and start supplying them and it would be a much different situation. The US wouldn't have to let them in, with the worlds largest undefended boarder its easy to slip across through the forest. A couple suicide bombers with dirty bombs that GWB likes to talk up would cause havoc in major centers. And yes, Canada has more then enough uranium to do it since 80% of the uranium used by the US comes from Canada.

North Korea is terrified of the US, if you notice how much their borders are defended and how much they aren't willing to attack the US. I don't even see why you are bragging about being friends with North Korea, seeing as they would never help Canada out, their military is poorly equiped and has no oil, they are communist, and they have tons of prison camps in their country, and death camps. You sure do believe in human rights.
So having a poorly equiped, if you call nuclear capable poorly equiped, having no oil, and being communist is a reason to hate someone. How wonderful to see the two-faced nature of american humanatarianism.
Yeah, they have prison camps, and death camps. Yeah, they suck, but then Texas basically does the same thing except with lethal injections instead of a bullet. Largest penetentery system in the US from what I understand, they certainly put the most people to death. Don't even bother with the human rights card, the US isn't near clean enough to play it.
If they were so terrified of the US why did they defy the US and develop their nuclear program to be able to produce WMD's. Sounds like they're shaking in their boots. They're borders are defended to keep nutty American marines out. The entire situation with them is an intimate chess game, not the slugfest boxing match that the US is used to from other wars.

You sure do believe in human rights.
Yeah, I do. Thats why I'm happy to be Canadian and not N. Korean or American.

The US doesn't have the balls to US nukes? Go tell that to Japan.
Umm...did you read the entire statement. I did mention Japan as well as why they did it and why they were able to. In todays world they don't have the balls. The repercussions would be far to great where as in Japan there were none, the world was behind the US on it. The presidents of the US have been gutless morons for the past few terms. They don't have what it takes to bite down and lauch the entire country into a nuclear war.

I actually think that if the US was faced with a losing situation, they would use nukes on their enemy.
With this I agree, I have no doubt they would. But when was the US last faced with a losing situation on the scale that require nukes. Any country that has nukes would use them if facing total annihilation. But since there hasn't been a direct threat of war to the US mainland in years its not something that would ever happen. Nowadays its just sporatic orginized terrorist attacks that hit and leave nothing to respond to.

Canada is not the US's babysitter in the least. What problems has canada fixed for the US? We are neither of each others babysitters, and we are just mainly trading partners. Canada is a nation that doesn't get involved in really much of any of the US's overseas affairs, and just makes their opinion known, then does nothing. Canada doesn't have the power internationally to fix the US's problems and to babysit the US, so that comment was just ridiculous, no offense.
We're the ones who have almost always, up till the Iraq invasion backed the US internationally and politically. We've done the sweet talking to foreign governments that didn't want to talk to you and put that shiney finish on your missle packing humvee. When you guys blow something up its Canadians who frequently go in to clean up the mess and stabalize the situation after the US has pulled out in full or in part as in Afghanistan.
I do agree with you statement that neither of us are each others babysitters and are mainly just trading partners. But with amount that we help each other out it certainly seems like we constantly babysit each other.

What matters is if this was an all out war between the US and Canada, or just a little conflict like Iraq. If this was an all-out-war, then you could say goodbye to politics and Canada would be screwed.
So total war then. Like Hitler declared on the Jews and allied forces. Like Muslim extremists have declared on all infidels. If you want to sit in that basket with them, be my guest. I've never pictured the US to be genocidal, just a little crazy from time to time.

Lets just be hypothetical, and ask the question: do you think that Canada would beat the US in a war between the two countries, and maybe add Britian or France, minus the nukes, but given everything else the countries have, meaning all the equipment at present and all the manpower.
Honestly, without nukes its a stalemate. The US hasn't got what it takes in resources to occupy Canada. They would literally have to pulverize it to ashes and that would require nukes. Where Canada goes the Commonwealth also goes, so Britain, Australia, and a couple of the other countries that have military forces would be involed. If not directly on the mainland then certainly at US outposts overseas. France could cry to the UN, or eat some cheese of something. They're kinda useless for the most part. Maybe get them to do a Monty Python impression and fling cows at the US embassy.

One last thing has to be remember, and that is that the US is only having problems in Iraq because of suicide bombers, but alot of people in Iraq are muslim, and I would go as far to guess that the majority in Canada is either christian, or people that have some sort of feeling that there is an afterlife, and maybe that they believe killing themselve will send them to hell, so you would have a different situation from Iraq in Canada.
Yes, but look at how much damage a couple of suicide bombers have caused. They are poorly equipped, have little tactical training in many cases and just have the sole desire to kick the US out of their country and kill as many soldiers as possible. The same thing is happening between Palastine and Isreal. Suicide bombers cause havoc there every week. The difference here is that Canadians and Americans look just like each other, so you wouldn't see a Canadian suicide bomber coming. Pick any random face from a crowd, that could be him. Only about 30% of Canada is of a Christian faith, including myself. The US has far far more Christians in it. The pastor at my church is an ex paratrooper from the Canadian military and has frequently said that while he is a servant of god he would fight to defend his home and alot of other Canadians are the same way regardless of religious beliefs.
The US hasn't been able to successfully occupy Iraq without getting attacked and suffering losses every other day, how would they expect to occupy Canada and live through it. They don't have the military capability for that size of operation. In order to take out Canada, you would have to nuke us. Since you won't nuke us, its a stalemate.

Doomsday: OF COURSE it would be morally wrong for the US to invade Canada. And it would never happen. It was a hypothetical question.
Thats what you asked in the begining wasn't it. Would it be ethically wrong to do so. Maybe you have a different definition, but to me, morals and ethics are one and the same.
I never once said we'd kick you're asses, I said that it wouldn't work and gave a couple of reasons against the really dumb ideas, like nuking us. Please stop putting words in my mouth. Unless I can have some ketchup to make them taste not quite so much like crap.

Your tanks don't mean shit when guerrilla tactics are involved. Like said before, the US does not have the sheer force to occupy the worlds second largest country.
