- If we were bordered by Libya, then we would have fixed the problem
- long ago. The only reason why we have yet to invade Canada is that you
- are amusing. Next to Brian Mulroney, even James Earl Carter looks
- good, peanut farmer cracker he may be. Why your little country has resisted
- becoming the next ten states for so long still puzzles us. If anything
- you and your countrymen have persisted in toadying to the various kings
- and queens of Britian longer than any of the other subjects of the crown.
- Clearly running Canada as a colony was not profitable but the crown
- kept it on as a reminder of what their very own citizenry once was.
