Jim Sharkey: Well, I think it's probably just that we see our nothern neighbors as just so darn...nice. The idea that they have any machines of war seems at odds with that perception. It's silly, sure, but when you have 3,000 miles of undefended border with a country because you have no reason to think they'd ever be aggressive towards you in any way, the idea that they can kick a little ass if needs be just seems incongruous, I guess. :)
Brett: So obviously the Canadian landings on D-Day 1944 have been forgotten. Not to mention all those Canadians that have been flying with NATO for the last 50 years. Still, that's better than the "Canadian Bacon" scenario of attacking Canada because they've been infiltrating the US for so long (Michael J Fox, John Candy, Jim Carrey, William Shatner, kd lang, etc). Although Celine bloody Dion would be reason enough, or is Mariah Carey seen as the appropriately thermonuclear-scale retaliation? Brett Remember: Vote Our Nic for best actress, our Russell for best actor (shoulda been our Guy!!) and Moulin Rouge for best film - even if as a musical it doesn't have either a Best Song or Best Score nomination!
