Which American States should Join Canada?

Give us California!!!

DELETED

I'd swap: Alberta for the Alaska pan handle.

Why in the hell would you want Alberta? Besides the West Edmonton Mall of course.

I'm Canadian. That's why I'm only too happy to trade-away Alberta.

No thanks.

We'll happily deport Klein, though. All at once or in little bits, whichever's easiest.

Of course, that's not going to stop retired Albertan's from moving to my city, and re-constructing mini-Calgary suburbia in rural areas. What with their large vehicles, complete lack of culture, and housing developments designed around being able to touch your neighbour's kitchen sink, they're a sterling addition to the community.

Too be honest I don't mind Klien. I'm worried about what Albertans are going to elect once he's gone; I get the distinct feeling he's too old fashioned conservative for the money-worshippers in Calgary and Edmonton.

Goodness, no. He's as big a corporate suck-up as they could ask for.

Yeah-we love our money! As for the next Premier, it will be interesting to see.

Unfortunately some of the new residential developments can get too close to each other-oh well I dont have that problem. How do you deem BC more culturally diverse?

Ah, it all makes sense now.

The some way people deem places like New York and Montreal more culturally diverse than places like Dallas and Calgary — by comparison.

I've read about a right, right-wing conservative faction in Alberta which even Klein has warned against - don't know much about them, though.

Ever hear the term Hongcouver?

Or Vansterdam.

We are totally multi-cultural.

Take Mexico while you're at it, then work towards the middle.

No one will stand before the great Canadian Empire

No doubt Vancouver is extremely diverse. Calgary is fairly multicultural-more than Edmonton anyways. Back to this land thing though-Canada has a good history of stealing land, why dont they just tell one of the states that they will better off loyal to the crown?

The War of 1812 Song

Come back oh proud Canadians
To before they had TV
No Hockey Night in Canada
There was no CBC

In 1812 Madison was mad
He was the President, you know
He thought he'd tell the British
Where they ought to go

He thought he'd invade Canada
He thought that he was tough
Instead we went to Washington
And burned down all his stuff

And the White House burned, burned, burned
And we're the ones that did it!
It burned burned burned
While the President ran and cried

It burned burned burned
Things were very historical
and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies, wah wah wah
in the war of 1812!

Now some hillbillies from Kentucky
dressed in green and red
left home to fight in Canada
but they returned home dead

Its only war the Yankees lost
except for Vietnam
and also the Alamo
and the Bay of... Ham

The loser was America
The winner was ourselves
So sing along and gloat about
The war of 1812

Chorus:
And the White House burned, burned, burned
But the Americans won't admit it
It burned burned burned
It burned and burned and burned

It burned burned burned
I bet that made them mad
and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies, wah wah wah
in the war of 1812!

I dont think to many people know that fact about us passive igloo dwellers.

id say all of the blue states, the ones that didnt vote retarded (aka voting for bush)

I'd say none of them because I don't want to have to apply for Canadian citizenship and go through the hassle of getting another passport.

The problems it would cause for state and local governments in the "blue" states would be staggeringly tremendous (especially in the Boston area).

Also, give everyone another 4 years and we'll see who goes to "blue" again (i.e. remember that New Hampshire went "red" and they don't care about being labled for the best primaries in the country).

We didn't steal anything. We got them drunk and made them sign treaties. It was fair and square. The US actually stole Washington and Oregon from us. It was owned by the Hudson's Bay Company which signed all their land over to Canada during Confederation, but the US told us to fuck off, and being militarally weak, we couldn't argue. Same happened with the Alaskan Panhandle.

Aggressive Canadians - there's something new. I like it. I hoped that Japan would take over in the 1980's, but you'll do. I welcome you. First order of business is to bulldoze Washington D.C. and set up a massive amusement park dedicated to hockey. Then bring back "You Can't Do That on Television" - Moose rocked.

"You Can't Do That on Television": man that's a show from way back, good times indeed. Maybe even some classic Degrassi over the tv during an invasion? They love that show down there and it would keep them distracted.

It's too bad that most Canadians think like that, even though most bitch and moan about the social problem the government created, being as smart as they were back then, and continue to ignore but yet will fight the good fight in the international arena in a heart beat in similar situations.

Agreed, Alaska does make the map look stupid.

Hmm. Having lived in both cities, I don't think so. Calgary might have more cultural groups in it, I've never checked, but as for being a multicultural place, no way. It's just a bunch of buildings where people work and live. It has no soul. There's always some sort of festival-type thingy going on in Edmonton.

Passing off You Can't Do That On Television to the States would do them a world of good. A kids show in which children are routinely tortured, imprisoned, poisoned, executed, forced to do their homework and sold into slavery is just what the doctor ordered for those namby-pamby zero-tolerance soccermoms and their pwecious hellspawn.

I really miss Moose and her archnemesis Lisa. Great days.

Wait a minute. That Cosmo fella was from Alaska, wasn't he?

Maybe we should pass.

The heathen states with all the fags.

Canada should get New York. Have you seen the difference between the American and Canadian sides of Niagara Falls? It's shocking.

While cleaning out my aunt's basement, I found a "Best of" tape for You Can't Do That on Television and showed to the 8-year old kids at the summer camp where I worked.

Suprisingly they loved the enslavement more than the sliming.

Then again, they also attacked my friend when I told them kicking him in the shins would give them candy.

Klein lost something like 14 seats yesterday. Looks like the tide is starting to shift...Slowly, ever so slowly, but surely?

Maybe. It's Klein's last term anyway, so we'll see how his cult of so-called personality that is the Alberta PC party lasts without him. Refusing to address healthcare during his campaign will surely bite his party on the ass as well. Personally, I wouldn't vote for Ralph Klein if he ran for dogcatcher.

Oddly enough, the incumbent PC MLA for my constituency (Calgary Mountainview) was well and truly turfed. Considering how downtown Calgary voted overwhelmingly for a Conservative MP during the Federal election, I'm surprised a Liberal won the MLA seat here. Pleasantly surprised.

It's protecting you from Russian invasion.

Right.

Oddly enough, the only reason Russia would have to invade us would be to get at the very country that's protecting us from a Russian invasion. Imagine that!

How do you know it isn't Canada they wish to invade? I hear that in some areas, women outnumber men fivefold. Which red-blooded ex-superpower, bored with hairy armpitted shot-putters dosed with cattle steroids, wouldn't be tempted by that?

You mean aside from Russia?

I don't think as much of Western Canada is as conservative as people think. They just vote for the Conservatives in the federal election because the liberals don't pay attention to them.

I'm at a loss to explain it. I think voting for the guy you'd like to have a beer has something to do with it. I'm sure I don't know anyone who agrees with the provincial government's "teachers and nurses should just suck it up, we're here to make life easy for Syncrude and Suncor" attitude. And this includes relatives who work for Syncrude and Suncor (and are married to teachers). There's a very small contingent of extreme right, liberals-can-have-my-gun-when-they-pry-it-from-my-cold-dead-hands types in Alberta, but they're hardly a force to be reckoned with.

So I just read that Paul Martin wants to give Provincial status to the northern territories. Something about telling the world that the arctic is Canada's. The article said it might have something to do with the fact that Bush doesn't recognize the claim. If Martin manages to do that, and bring the Turks and Caicos into Canada, then manage to stay in power long enough to pay off the national debt, he'll definitely have a place in the Canadian history books.

Much of Ontario, esp. in the east, is quite conservative.

As for the territories becoming provinces: sounds good to me.

Waitaminute. Whaddya mean "Bush doesn't recognize the claim"?

Huh. That's the first I've ever heard of Bush not recognizing Canadian sovereignty.

Who asked him anyway? Does this mean Ottawa can just decide that Hawaii isn't really a state as well?

Well, you know the arctic is a good source of oil, so what could Bush be thinking of?
