Sorry to say my fine American friends, but Celine Dion is now a US citizen. Enjoy her :D

Canadian soldiers kick ass!.
During the next four days of fighting, the Newfoundland corporal set what is believed to be a record for a long-distance shot under combat conditions, hitting an enemy gunman at a distance of 2,430 metres.

The only way YOU can make a shot like that is with OGC :p

why would anyone bother to invade Canada? I seriously doubt US will formally "invade" Canada like a full scale war. Your military does NOT need subs for defense.

It's too cold to invade Canada. Canadians, on the other hand, invade Florida on a regular basis! Personally, I am always intimidated by the ones who come in the winter and swim in the Gulf when it is like 50-60 degrees F. I can't even put my little toe in if it is below 78... and snow scares me...

<---very impressed by the Canadians she knows

Yeah right. If it weren't for US or the Brits you'd be speaking Russian by now

I believe those are *American* radars we have installed in the far North... I think the Ruskis would object to having those on their land :D. Like you (and others) have said, between the Americans and the Brits I'm not worrying much about anyone attacking us.

Canadians are taking over their entertainment industry as we speak - keyboard, I mean.

Although we probably should apologize about the Celine Dion thing, that's definitely overkill!

I dont think tanks, planes, and guns made out of wood are too effective. :D

The peaceful undefended nation is always the one you gotta look out for! Didn't you all play RISK? It's that bastard with australia and no army who ends up winning.

Canada's pathetically underfunded military is allowed by the CAN gov't because they know that if the sh*t really hit the fan the US would help Canada out. It's like being on a team project and you don't do jack sh*t because you know that the other person will make up the slack since they don't want to fail.
