Huh?
Where are you from?
'tis a joke pojimba. I’m from The Greatest Country Ever Given to Man By God on Earth, of course. Which is why I joke about how if Mexico and Canada were gone, it’d be good for the world.
Economically, Canada could hurt Mexico big time. Even with a small navy, the threat of getting your oil tanker or cargo ship sunk would be enough to greatly reduce shipping into and out of Mexico. Mexico would have no comparable ability to blockade Canada.
Note that the US did quite well against Mexico in the old days (both in big and little wars) because the typical Mexican guy didn’t care at all about putting his neck on the line to support the wealthy folks that ran the country.
If the same were true today, it wouldn’t take a major force to push thru to the Halls of Montezuma.
OTOH, given the factions and regional issues, it could turn into Afghanistan/Viet Nam really fast. With deserts and jungles!
Oh, okay, sorry.
You guys crack me up.
Alot of “typical guys” everywhere do not mind putting their neck on the line to support the wealthy folks that run their countries. Sometimes it is even called being BRAVE.
To quote Kaiser Wilhelm II, Canada just wants its place in the sun.

Encourage both sides. The US is the weapons supplier to the world. If the war goes on more than a year, we’ll align ourselves with whichever side appears to be winning in return for all territory gained during the war. My guess is that we’d want Mexico’s land more than Canada’s so we’d align with our Northern neighbors.
It’s a tough call though. Mexico has more vacation properties and lots of waterfront property. It probably has strategic defense advantages as well. But Canada has bucketfuls of oil.
We’d probably want Canada’s land more so. They have oil and more white people.
You too are so cute when you try to fight.
Now stop it before we show you how it’s done.
Wait, what? We’re at war? With Mexico?!! Why doesn’t anyone tell me these things?
We’d do what others like us have done before: wait until winter. Our forces are equipped and ready to fight in winter. Are the Mexican forces? Should the Mexicans invade, are they willing to fight in -30C temps? Our forces can, and will. Will the Mexicans continue their fight under those conditions? Our forces can–and will.
Winter is our friend. We can work and fight in it–can the Mexicans?
But we have to get the Mexicans up here for that strategy to work, don’t we? I’m pretty sure that superhighway going from Canada to Mexico and bypassing all of the US hasn’t been built yet.
Oh, no problem. We’ll take advantage of the Ameircans’ political correctness (i.e. avoiding upsetting the Hispanics) to allow them to come and invade.
Then winter comes. We win! (Really, can Mexicans play hockey?)
As a cite, I’d ask: how many Mexicans come to Canada in winter?
Lots of Mexicans, like myself have moved to Alaska to get jobs. We are not afraid of a Canadian winter. We can deal with the cold, and the snow is refreshing. You will find us to be a hardy and adventurous people. Maybe you could teach us winter sports- while we are taking our little breaks from the battle. It could be a win-win situation.
I like your spirit, Florez. Can I extend an olive branch of peace to you, on behalf of our nations?
Yes, Cat Whisperer, and I humbly and graciously accept on behalf of la gente de mi raza.
It’s all about timing. All Mexico has to do is wait until the Bruins win the Cup again this year and Canada will declare war on itself. Again.
What’s the percentage of tourists that die in Mexico? What’s the percentage of tourists that die on Italian cruise ships?
Yes, but how would Canada deal with Mexico’s secret weapon, Speedy Gonzalez?
Yes, just made my regular Sunday call home today. They say all is well in our little vipers nest.
