We don't need an excuse Five, when was the last time we ever needed an excuse?

Here's a better one for you, why on earth would we EVER invade Canada? Has that thought crossed anybody's mind yet?

Hmmm... I like the basic strategy but it needs more detail. What about winning hearts and minds?

Canadian Plan to Domainte the USA.

Ok surprise attack of most of our forces into NY state.. they'd never expect it. At the same time we'd have to have alliances with most of the nations around the world.

How about trying to convince some Americans by promoting medicare if Canada wins the war.

While this is happening. Russia attacks Alaska and takes it no real problems and goes threw Canada to both defeand our border and to attack the cent and western states.

Going through Alaska, fine, that's their problem. But through Canada? I'd need to think about that.

Mexico pulls a Canada and attacks up into New Mexico and all the states which were annexed by the USA.Cuba would use it's sizable force (for it's size) and attacks florida.

Before the war is declared, spies ought to have been sent a long time in advance rubbing in the fact that English is such a pesky language to learn and that if the Southern states went to Mexico and Cuba, they wouldn't need to learn English anymore (the Gringos would need to learn Spanish instead; that should put a smile on their face, and that would be a sizeable segment of US sympathisers too).

Then we all wait for China or India to send over at least another million troops for us as re-enforcements to help push the Canadian, Russian, Cuban Mexican armiries into American terrortory. It works, well at least in a Civ 3 mod I made once.

Hmmm... be careful with China; they'd be eying Vancouver before any US city; just look at the Chinese population there: they could pull the same stunt on Vancouver as the Mexicans and Cubans could pull on the Southern states! But there are quite a few Chinese in the states too, so for some cities it might work and I'm sure China wouldn't mind a port on North America's west. India, like Russia, I don't know. I really don't think they'd be interested, and would have a really hard time in any hearst and minds vcampaing too.

As for Quebec, they definitely ought to move on Illinois, and like the Mexicans and Cubans, send spies in there first to promote Bill 101; I'm sure a few residents will jump to the cause!

So has he started the hearts and minds campaing yet?

Since Shatner is an English Canadian, and the English Canadian part of plan is to woo Americans with medicare, have we managed to convince any of them to back the Canadian military should we move in?

And how's Quebec doing with getting Illinoi to back them militarily should they invade in exchange for not only medicare but Bill 101 too should they successfully take over Illinois?

And I strongly suggest we ensure that the Mexican, Cuban and Chinese hearts and minds campaigns are well under way before the military moves in, that way the US military will be busy with an insugency in the South and on the West coast to deal with by the time the Canadian military storms through the US border.

I think not, that is exactly what I mean! There's no reason for the United States to invade Canada at all — I mean, granted, we have some natural resources that the United States may epress interest in, in the future; but that's what trade is for, right?

I see no reason for Canada to feel threatened by the United States.

Good for you FiveParadox, and you most certainly should never feel threatened by the US.

Whenever I see similar threads like this on other forums, the biggest defense most people bring up is that the world would come to Canadas aid, and by doing so, they neglect who will NEVER allow such an invasion to take place, the American people.

ITN... the American people and....

I believe there would be a major stand down and refusal to carry out any order such as northern invasion without a provocation initiated first.

The US has not used black boots for years. When I was in we were issued black boots but now they issue Gortex boots to all Marines. Black leather boots are history and good ridens to them as they were not efficient at all. When I fought in Panama we were issued Vietnam era Jungle Boots which were slightly better than all leather boots. The Gortex boots they use today are more superior. Plus you don't have to polish them and that was a pain when you were in garrison.
Maybe as a Marine I don't like the idea of digging in at all but I do see the need for static defense in certain situations. As long as you are not digging in for an extended period of time. Mobile arty is more self sustained than a fixed arty unit. *Sigh* another American out of his element.
Ok, first off, I didn't deem this vest better. I personally love it, but the people who did deem it better are members of your military Eagle. They deemed it better for two reasons they listed to me:...

Funny that I was at Annapolis this year and the Marines all had Gortex Boots, meaning non black and non leather. They were a sand type color just like they wear in the desert. That is the type of boots that are being issued to the Marines.

Now maybe the Army still has some people wearing leather boots.

In my four years as a Marine I never worked or even met with a Canadian soldier. Nor did I see any of their gear.

Where ever you put gear the shoulders will bear the weight. Unless you attach it to your BDU trousers. How can it not?

While not strictly related to the article, I thought I'd post these interesting figures from the latest edition of the New Scientist concerning water consumption. Did you know it takes...

20,000 litres of water to make 1kg of coffee

11,000 litres of water to make 1 quater-pounder hamburger

7,000 litres of water to make 1 cotton t-shirt

5,000 litres of water to make 1kg cheese

5,000 litres of water to make 1kg rice

3,000 litres of water to make 1kg sugar

2,000 litres of water to make 1 litre of milk

1,000 litres of water to make 1 kg of wheat.

While I may be from the twilight zone, the value of water is in many cases more than that of oil, and soon will be the most valuable commodity on the planet. Beavers know about water.

I,ll talk to some people, we can cut a deal with ya, barrell of oil for a barrell of water. If you look at the map you,ll see that the water will run down, if you send money for the pipe I will start construction in the spring. Mr Darkbeaver

You mean we can buy this stuff w/o having to have a full scale invasion?

So I guess we can't "shock and awe" Canada.
