    Not what they told me when I was in Quebec! Only place where English was optional and French was required on signs... **** them!

    I thought the British tossed out the Acadiens who then became Cajuns in Louisiana?

    Haha you know the way Canadians and the English spell it is exactly like that where as for some reason the US needed to swap the r and e and to use z instead of s for spellings of words such as specialised or in Dark Helmut's 'bastardized'. You even felt the need to change the volume of a gallon for some reason. However I will give it up that Canadians split the difference for some units of measurements for important things like the size of a cup or 36-24-36 in inches vs centimetres.

    Both countries are crazy as hell.

    America: "Hey I know! We'll show those Commies! We'll create a defense system to target their ICBMS and detonate them harmlessly over Canada!"
    Canada: "Um thats a great plan.....say I have an idea, whenever you decommision a nuke why dont you go ahead and send them over here and we'll dispose of it for you"
    America: "Sure that sounds legit"

    It is true that Quebec is the only province where English is optional. Still plenty of English speaking people there and plenty of French speaking people elsewhere.

    They wish. Back during the last referendum when deciding whether or not to break off from Canada, the natives of the province had their own referendum. They decided by a vote of 98% that should Quebec separate, they would remain with Canada. With all their land guaranteed them by treaties. That actually amounts to a lot of land, including the land around James Bay with all the huge hydro power stations.

    Man, if you have any idea how our hands [USMC] are tied when we go on these humanitarian or liberation campaigns.

    The last countries we actually invaded for conquest (and reformed in our image) are doing quite well: Germany, Japan and er... Canada

    Seriously though, I love Canada, except for Quebec. You guys really should get rid of Quebec.

    There is this sad ancedote re Canada.

    They build this huge Rescue Vehicle after the India Tsunami disaster, with an idea to use it as a first responder the next time some 3rd world country needs immediate aid.

    So, they spend all this time and money on it, finally roll it out... and discover they cant use it.

    Canada doesn't have any airlift capacity.... thats like a Sorc without Haste.

    And that is why the U.S. is an economic empire. And they do a wonderful job with that facet. The difficulties always arise when they try to stray from that system which has always worked so well for them.

    Yup. Really makes you appreciate what the UK did for US, Canada, India, Hong Kong, Australia etc.

    Too bad they couldn't do something about France.

    Lol, and why would that be? If either were elected leader of my country, I'd move elsewhere. At least McCain wasn't elected. I'm still amazed the republicans managed to find a candidate even more clueless than Bush.

    I went backpacking with a few friends last year, two of them were from New York, they put Canadian flags on their luggage/backpacks while we toured.

    uh... no need to invade, we already conquered Canada. That cute little independence ceremony you guys had? There was also a Shadow Ceremony where the UK transferred ownership to the US.

    We promised your Mom that we would let you play with french women, weed and beer. Just as long as we covered your national defense, protected your trade routes, provided your health care and prescription drugs...

    ...and let you play around with Socialism, while we handle the Big Ticket Items. We've got Her permission to smack you around if you ever go overboard.
