I would never invade Canada. I honor the Lee Valley peace treaty.

I am proud to be an American born and bred in Indiana - but I get a warm comfortable peaceful feeling when I see a flag with the Maple Leaf.

The last time we were at war was in 1999, or so says the South Park movie...
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

The USS Constitution earned her nickname "Old Ironsides" during this war. She is parked just down the street from us and these next few weeks are going to be a celebration of her. There 90 x 45 foot flags unfurled as a reminder of the 200 years of peace between the nations that fought during the War of 1812.

I say we go for it, just to be on the safe side. Maybe I'll end up with a Lee Valley near me.
On second thought, I think the last thing I need is a Lee Valley near me. Stand down.

I can vouch for that, I live 10 minutes from one Lee Valley store, and there's one 10 minutes from my work, my chequeing account hasn't recovered!

Before we can join forces and invade we're going to have to do something about the language barrier. You can't pay a member of the American military with a "cheque".

I had a guardian angel at one time, but my little devil got him drunk, tattooed, and left him penniless at a strip club. I have not had another angel assigned to me yet.

I am hoping we don't go to war with Canada, as that would probably mean the end of the Lee Valley annual plumb bob. I was hoping to collect a dozen or so and build a cabinet for them.

Wait till they find out our $1 coin (we have a $1 and $2 coin instead of paper money) is called a Loonie.......They probably will go for the cheque........LOLBefore we can join forces and invade we're going to have to do something about the language barrier.

The thing that struck me after reading a few books about it was how much and how widespread the opposition was to even the most minimal defensive military. This is an excellent book that focuses mainly on naval battles: http://www.amazon.com/Perilous-Fight...=9780307454959

I used to travel to Canada a lot and remember the Loonie and the Toonie.

I guess all those people who think the war is over haven't seen the Black Hawks play the Canucks.
