I found that their F-18 aircraft is very antiquated and not compatible with F-18s from USA and other foreign countries.

Mainly because only Canadians refuse to upgrade softwar/hardward on their aircraft while USA and other foreign countries
are constantly ungrade to improve their weapon systems. So, eventually Canadians got left far behind in technology and now
it is nearly obsolete and would have hard time trying to communicate or coordinate any type of attack with other F-18 aircrafts.

Canadian decision makers are very cheap with military equipment so they rather let things slide then spend money to keep up with technology advancement.

well, that's good in a way. That means they're spending more money elsewhere rather than worrying about having a state of the art military to invade others with.

Goodluck. The CAN gov't has no respect for it's own military and that's why the military budget is about $1500/year for the entire country :|

Sounds like a good reason to vote for them.

Canadian Inventions

Here's a suggestion: Just detain the terrorists for a short while before letting them drive into Detroit.
That might discourage them a little.
It's so much harder to swim into Miami with explosives!

What terrorists? The 9/11 terrorists were residents of the US, expect I believe three, that came into the US directly from Europe. We had one guy go throught the Canadian border in 1999 (in my town, as a matter of fact) into the US, but it was the US that let him in. And the recent "five terrorists from Canada" turned out to be an FBI induced hoax.

No, what you need to do is tell your people to watch there boarders, we can let who ever
we want into our country. When one leaves from canada to the us they do not cross a canadian checkstop they cross a american one!

residents of the US, ie: entered on US visia or green card holders. I issue is that the terrorists came in from Canada, they'd didn't, but nice try.
