I’m just glad that Canada is _finally_ entering the 21st century. Or is that the 20th?

Same goes for the person sitting next to you.

I dread the suicide mission when they intentionally crash a zamboni into the Northwest Angle.

There’s [informed speculation](http://www.economist.com/node/14419412) that Canadian terroirists have been looking for a way to infiltrate the US via California. Be vigilant.

Your intel is out to lunch, infiltration will be via the Columbia River in order to take both Oregon and Washington…mmmm Washington, home of decriminalized weed:eek:

CNN is becoming just about as bad as Fox news anymore. Hell, pretty much all news sources are fucking worthless, when you think about it.

Infiltrate the US via California? Keep it on the down low, but if they’re in California, they’ve already successfully infiltrated the US. I’ve heard of terrorists trying to infiltrate the US via _Canada_, which should be somewhat easier for Canadian terrorists.

PSA for Canadian Terrorists: try the Boundary Waters area of Northern Minnesota. You can canoe over, or in some places walk across unguarded footbridges.

There _is_ a sign (nailed to a pine tree):

CANADIAN VISITORS:  
Please check in at  
Immigration Office  
In Town (115 Main St.)  
\*\*  
The Immigration Office is a storefront that’s closed if no one’s available to man it, which is most of the time.
