Why don't we attack Canada?
We could have invaded a country as datasuspect said, much richer in natural resources, and hey, we could just cross the border, no real logistics problems... no shock and awe, not even that many people.

Why is it that we wait?

22. Oh hells.


Those marines would run away screaming like a bunch of little girls.

Justifiably, too.

7. Because we have signs on the border pointing south that say Canada.
Apparently, that's all it takes to keep Americans out of the country.

11. I like Dave Chappelle's idea:
Fake Canadaian IDs for all American citizens. That will help solve the health care crisis.

16. Because we got our asses kicked the last time we tried that.
It was supposed to be as easy as just crossing the border then too.

19. One reason only...
...and that is when our valient soldiers get injured in "Operation Canada, Eh?", they will be treated by the Canadian health-care system. They will be so impressed by it that they will tell everybody about thit, spreading their socialist propoganda thoughout America!

In the end, it will be them that conquers us!

21. Cause then Canada would have to get many delegates
for the primaries and the GE. And you know what that means... Democratic Presidents all the time!

25. The attack will be easy, but what about the endless occupation afterward?
You know Canada will lapse into a full scale civil war without their brutal leadership! Je me souviens!

And we'll have a generation of young soldiers who will need years of therapy to keep them from saying "Oot and aboot."

Yeah, you people plan for the war, but never the peace.
