There was one that said "America, Canadas trousers!" that made me chuckle heartily, It had Florida hazed out as if it were the hootus.

Anyone got a u-haul I can use? Better healthcare, better education, less mass shootings. Hell they even exported all thier annoying people to the US.

Bieber lives in the US now.

Canada is looking better and better.

berkeley that noise.

I can see why the US would want Canada, it's like a great hat, but why would Canada want the US, it's like slipping on a pair of oversized dirty boxer shorts?

Cool! Renting U-Hauls would be cheaper than building a wall.

I never have understood why all the people that love other countries don't move to them. Well, excepting all the people that seem move here.

Nah, we'll just let you guys actually buy/keep them without informing the RCMP everytime you move one more than a millimeter.

Also, no poutine......just no. Can we also start internment camps for French Canadians, Hipsters, and anyone who says "Eh" or "Aboot"?

You know it's possible to see advantages to something, even love something, and realize something else is good too?

Adrian is correct - what Americans call Canadian bacon, we call back bacon. Oddly, in England back bacon (or Canadian bacon, if you prefer) is just called bacon, while what we colonials call bacon, they call "streaky bacon", which is actually a pretty good description.

As for the beer, you can actually get some pretty good microbrews on both sides of the border now. I once went to a talk by a brewing expert, who commented that beer like Bud was actually quite challenging to make, because in the complete abscence of flavour, any defects showed up strongly!

In reply to Turboeric:

Thats just pastuerized urine from our sporting events.....thats why there aren't any defects and no flavor.

This thread is nonsense. Who the berkeley wants more winter or more european-like government?

I'm looking for a team to help me "merge" Mexico. They have all the good weather, blue water and good 'ol fashioned American West style anarchy (we used to call that freedom when we still had some).

Can't we have both?

Well, most Canadians live within 100 miles of the border, so there must be something they like.

I will say, however, that if the US were to take over Canada, the first thing we should do is put a stop to that ridiculous punting on third down. It was bad enough you had two teams called the Roughriders in the same league.

They kick on the 3rd down because there is no 4th down, makes the game move up and down the field far quicker.. The "Foot" actually touches the "Ball" far more often (hence the name football).. Also check out this link and watch the attached video three kick fumble Great ending to a Football Game!! Note the placement of the ball before the field goal kick. It makes a field goal not a sure thing!

There was only one team ever called the Roughriders in the CFL... It is the "Saskatchewan Roughriders"..

You might be confused because there used to be a team in Ottawa with a similar name. It was called the "Ottawa Rough Riders". The space between Rough and Riders make them totally different than the Roughriders.

Kind of like the White Sox, Red Sox, and Black Sox. Don't forget the Reds!!

Don't worry though the baseball team names may cause some confusion to Canadians..

Different ZED!!

I know eh.

Believe it or not, until the mid 70's Football players made way more $$ in the CFL..
