Hahaha!

Seriously though, in terms of an invasion of Canada, I would doubt that it would ever come to that; how could they possibly justify such an invasion on the world stage? Liberate us from our pesky democratic Parliament? Save us from the tyranny of the Governor General? What possible excuse could they have?

"We're bigger than you and we want some maple syrup."

Right... and not any of this flavored corn syrup crap. Hand over the good stuff or you're gonna get it! :evil:

If you want it, you could always purchase some Speaker's Selection Maple Syrup from the House of Commons Boutique! For 375mL, it only comes to $19.99CAD!

Re: RE: Invasion of Canada

They will invade for water.

You have hit the nail on the head - IF it comes right down to it.
And Texas is mighty thirsty, mighty powerful, and mighty persuasive - not to mention big buckola. We haven't had rain in over a year - our lakes are dry, and we need water desparately.

Why would you not share something as simple as water which you have in abundance - a basic human need? Would we have to invade you to get some water? Heck, I thought we could buy some. And, Tablet, why is it you are hogging all the rain the first damn place? Huh? Jest put it out there on the line.

And while we are at it, I'll form a line of Mexicans to dig a trench to your nearest waterway. And that would be? Hey, I betcha you might get a few fresh immigrants from way down south that way too! Cheap labor - :lol: :lol:

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.

:lol: :lol:

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.
