Canadian soldiers just slow me down. The soldiers I was most impressed with? Surprisingly, the French. Those guys/girls were machines!

I see what you did there! The Sgt I worked with was from Vancouver- not really a French guy. Great guy himself, but his situational awareness was horrible. Soldiers from France were like Rambo

Yes, you have dozens of examples of countries fighting off invasions without the US. Did you read the link at all? :)

I concur with your opinion of the French...i've only had joint exercises with a few, but they were definitely top notch operators
 
Maniacal ideologues bent on world domination, obviously.

Last time the USA tried to invade Canada it didn't go so well for them.
In fact unlike the USA, Canada has never lost a war. *cough* Vietnam *cough*
Probably the two closest countries in the world now though

The US invading Canada would be a lot like the Star football player beating up the slow kid

There's not much to gain from it

Sure if you disregard that Canada lost in Afghanistan and cut and ran with its tail between its legs.

Canada didn't lose in Afghanistan.
Taliban was the govt in Afghanistan. Canada joined the USA and other NATO countries in a UN sanctioned force that ousted the Taliban.
Canada has ended its combat mission and the Taliban are not the govt in Afghanistan.
Not sure how that can count as a loss for Canada

Robin Williams had a great description of Canada - Canada is like an loft apartment above a great party!

Curling is great for the social aspects - it's why it's so popular here in Canada.

Curling is a great sport.

The only time we can see it is during the Olympics.

Some alcoholics in recovery like to wean off on American beer. I could never stand the stuff unless I was sufficiently drunk enough not to care.

Molson's best two beers are Golden, an ale, and Brador, a dark beer in Quebec. Slemen's is a moderately good beer, more noted for the fact their Guelph, Ont. brewery was a hang out for Al Capone in the 1920's. Moosehead is about on the same par.

Out here, the micro brewery's rule.

Personally, I could drink Labatt Blue until the cows come home. Grew up in Buffalo, where it's available at just about every gas station, and they're doing this:

I agree. I am sure the naysayers here would have a much more favourable opinion if they played even once.
 
Great people, ****ty beer. :mrgreen:
 
The folks I met from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia were some very nice people, but the French Canadians.........................................

I knew other Canadians, who couldn't stand the French Canadians and wished they would get their independence from the rest of Canada.
