Gee Whiz
I thought I was pretty friendly.
The 51st State remark was intended to be facetious and the comment on the military relative to the 3 States was just curiousity, not a suggestion that those States invade Canada.
Is there any question that Canada relies on the irrevocable friendship with USA to limit their military budget? It doesn't bother me at all but I do wish they would tighten up on immigration.
Traditionally, Canada has deployed their military under British or US command. I read recently that they prefer US command since the Brits have a history of using Canadian forces as expendables and we consider them elite troops.
I like Canadians even though most of them sound like Goofy.
