Its a simple enough procedure, useful for cultures that make a habit of cousins marrying. Simply establish a territorial border, and export your mental defectives and wet brains north of said border. In much the same way Texas established Oklahoma. ---

Based on how proudly and dramatically certain Canadians recount the war, I think they teach them that Canada utterly deciminated the US, conquered its entire territory, and then when they proved how much better they were they just up and left because there was nothing here worth staying for. ---

[Canada’s National Newspaper](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/is-she-one-of-us-palin-trumpets-nhl-olympics-canadiana/article1536280/) gives the kind of coverage that most of the Libuhrul media in the States are unwilling to give. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Based on how proudly and dramatically certain Canadians recount the war, I think they teach them that Canada utterly deciminated the US, conquered its entire territory, and then when they proved how much better they were they just up and left because there was nothing here worth staying for. Where I went to school in Oakville, Ontario, we didn’t study the War of 1812-1813. For us it was all Battle of Crécey, Battle of Poitiers, and eventually 1066 and All That, and then in high school it was world history. For all intents and purposes, Canada was simply a former colony of no particular interest. ---

What? I would have thought she’d have spent some time explaining to the Canadians that they live in a desolate hellhole because of the horrible health care system. I mean, certainly there weren’t any old people at the talk, what with all them awful death panels everywhere. ---
