Keep in mind that Canada has invaded the US too
Now, I know that the British and Hessians did, ended badly for them, when did the Canadians invade?

Let alone wanting to learn to speak Canadian, eh? ...
Ah, but besides Canadians' passion for shopping carts as sport accessories:
(from Wikipedia) "In 2005, Canada exported about $110 billion worth of goods more than they imported from the U.S. With the rest of the world, Canada had a trade deficit of $54 billion creating an overall surplus of some $67 billion. "

And in standard of living comparisons: "The United Nations Human Development Index has traditionally listed Canada (ranked third) higher than the United States (ranked twelfth)."

Comparison of Canadian and American economies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Curious bunch of hockey-playing eskimos, no? Don't trust 'em as far as I can throw an elephant -- with my bad arm ... (h)eh?

What isn't listed in the article is the outrageous shopping cart imbalance favoring the Canadians ... which U.S. deficit is, as we all might expect, most likely due to just the thefts we have been discussing.

Keep tellin' y'all: you're watching the wrong border down there.

I believe their most egregious sin is their inordinate fondness for gravy on french fries.

How would that compare with the old traditional service dish of creamed chipped beef on toast, known fondly by millions of vets as SOS?

One word: poutine

I have a strong stomach but I also have a strong dislike of repainting walls and/or cleaning vomit off my computer monitor.

Having known you online for 4-5 years I'd bet you could probably eat stale road killed crow if you wanted to. True!
