Might work, we use cardboard cutouts of deer and whatnot up here to fool some of the not-too-bright hunters.
You should see their faces when they discover they've plugged a piece of cardboard. It's even funnier when they stick it on the BBQ. Our good neighbor to the south......

Good post.
It will take a real incursion on our sovereignity to get Canadians upset, but then it will be too late. So far the trade sanctions disquised as precautionary measures, (which you will notice always seems to be implemented when they are angry at us.) are taken at face value by us, trusting as we are.
But one day we will bei pushed to the limit, then we will flex some muscle of our own.
1/ We will devert some of the major water sheds to produce vegetables (yes, we can tongue-in-cheek the best of them too) due to the Americans invoking "precautionary measures" on vegetables. The Americans are familiar with dry spells, but nothing compared to what that would cause. Los Vegas goodbye.
2/ We'll turn off some switches cutting off from the Manic grid power to NY, Vermont and Maritime states.
3/We'll start producing our own armament. The Arrow was way ahead of it's day, and the American politicians were jealous and quite surprised at it's perfomance, and that was too much for American pride, and Canada relented to Boeing and MD. (It took Europe all these years for it to develop today an advanced Eurofighter which today has the characteristics the Arrow had back then.)
4/ We made many promises requested by the US being our friend. One is to not sell to hostile countries our advanced technology in nuclear energy, this we are way ahead of in our field. Now that this friend's friendship is in question maybe North Korea and Iran would be friendlier. Why not. We all have lived through the boisterous face saving threats to the Russions the Americans made during the cold war, making the situation precarious to us. Besides, Iran would gleafully keep us supplied with oil for 50 years for that nuclear privledge, at a cut rate cost to boot.
Not to mention the mild irritation the Americans would experience knowing the technical people from Iran as well as the Chinese are just across the border.
5/ The 200 mile limit becomes a real 200 mile limit and kiss goodbye to the Alaska highway and pipeline, or, can you imagine the duty on oil from the pipeline and toll from the highway.?
We've proven in WW2 we can mass produce frigates at a phenominal rate when called to do so, so pissing us off is not a good idea.
They are dependant on us for a lot of produce and raw material, sometimes an arrogant nation needs a healthy wake up call on occasion just for a point perspective, and methinks one day we will be obliged to provide it.

I almost feel bad that all of you are going to be standing on hilltops at the US/Canada border with a mix of weapons waiting for flocks of UAVs to fly by.
And it's hockey season too!

A few comments I have heard from Canadians over the years.
1) They don't teach the War of 1812 at length in Canadian schools because it will "agitate" the "sleeping elephant" to the South that is just ITCHING for another invasion.
2) The world is holding it's breath that Canada remains sovereign.
3) Americans want to steal our [insert natural resource here].
4) Canadians athletes get caught doping in sporting events and the only comment is that Americans are better at cheating.
5) Talking to Americans has become documentary evidence of Americans' idiocy.
And Americans are paranoid?
I have a million of them, let me know if anyone needs more. :wave:

rofl. Eagle, You take it too seriously. If one flew over me I might think about plugging it, but I wouldn't take the time to drive 35 miles to plug a stupid piece of machinery. Not unless it's carrying moosemeat or elkmeat, that is. You're funny.
rofl, you can send em to me. I'll PM you my email address if you like.
Um, unfortunately I don't have a list of comments like that, all I do is watch "The Tonite Show" when Leno is doing his "Jaywalking". At any rate, I'm always up for a laugh.
Almost forgot; I have one story about a family that stopped at my cousin's service station for gas and a visit to the head. One kid about 8 got out and asked his dad why Canada wasn't pink like on the map.
ANNNNNNNNNNND HEEEEEERE WEEEEEEEE GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The Great Canadian assault on the US!
CUT THE PIPELINE! CUT THE POWER!SELL TO CHINA AND N KOREA... NOW IRAN!
WE Canadians WILL TEACH the US a lesson!
Actually I am not taking it too serious at all. I think the level of Canadian paranoia is amusing.
Even the fact that you said you might take a shot at one is funny. Like you would even see it or have a chance of hitting it.
Why would we need to do that? Junior is doing a great job of teaching everyone lessons.
Ummm...huh?
Are you even trying to make an attempt at relevance? I mean... what did this statement mean with what we are talking about? How does it fit?
It was supposed to be a funny comment. My Anshutz has only an accuracy range of about a mile which is way shorter than the altitude that thing can fly at. I am rarely serious.

You mentioned someone teaching lessons. I asked why would Canadians want to teach anyone lessons when Junior is out there showing the planet how everything should work. One teacher is enough.
Thank you. I had to work at it a bit cuz it was a BMP file (too many kBs) and the dimensions were too big too.

Oh... so you had nothing to all and you went to the SOP.
BASH BUSH!
Got ya.
I had nothing to all.... What's that mean?
Bashing Junior's fun. Actually bashing politicians of anywhere is fun.
Gee, I know for a fact that up to about the year 1900 several Yankee imperialists wanted our troops to invade you guys up North. But I had no idea that another invasion was imminent!
