Heard of the French/Indian war. You folks got sent north. Good try.

In today's world we could run you out in a day or so.

Ah, i see. You meant the US population.
In any case, you don't have to move to Toronto proper, which is expensive. There are many inexpensive places you can live. I'm renting a house for a song, but you may not want to live in French milieu, even if it is a party town.

You mean the war that was between the Brits, their colonies, and France? As I recall the British invaded Canada, but that was before the USA was founded. Also, I think the war ceased due to funds with everybody claiming victory.

I need to be near a financial market, so Toronto/suburbs is my only real option.

Heard of the War of 1812? We tried to lop off lower Canada and that didn`t work out very well.

Which is a big part of WHY we're in debt and they're NOT.
It's expensive being the "toughest dude in the neighborhood".

Sounds like you like being in debt though - at least when it comes to throwing your weight around.
I'll remember that the next time you complain about the deficit.

Sure didn't.
The British burned the White House and sent the President fleeing into the night.
Not exactly "our finest hour".

We........the US are in debt because we take care of you puppies. We go fight for the dollar. May not be the best way to go about things but somebody has to do it. You don't.

Naah, only those who actually pay money back get to think that way; hence the triple AAA rating while yours is.....well...... never mind.
