Operation American Freedom

Mikesburg

The 'Great Canadian/American War' thread has got my nationalistic passions all riled up. It's clear to me, that not only is most of the world upset with the US, many Americans are as well.

The time has come for Canada to liberate the US! Many American's yearn for freedom from their Republican masters, and in the time honoured Canadian tradition, we should be the ones to offer our helping hand.

The 'Mikesburg Plan';

1 - Turn snow generation machine to 'Frikkin' Cold' setting. Blast the northern states with snowfall like they've never seen. Major cities will shut down, not knowing what a snowshovel looks like. The chill will be felt in Arizona.

2 - Incite rebellion among the hispanic population in the states. Get all the Canadian comics to ridicule the US government, and Celine Dion to shrill out a sonic wave of destruction.

3 - Send in first strike snowmobile teams, with 'seal-clubbing' thugs to mop up any resistance. Dog-sled teams will fan out to the suburbs, and Polar Bear units will break up mobs of resistance. The RCMP will be sent out to ensure 'peace, order and good government.' We won't gaurantee any 'life, liberty or pursuit of happiness' during the transition period.

4 - Institue Hockey Awareness Month. This will get more northern states on-board with 'Operation American Freedom', and slowly 'Canadianize' any football/baseball fans.

5 - Drinking Tim Hortons will be mandatory. All Americans will line up in drive throughs across the country to consume at least three cups a day. 'Regular' shall mean 'one cream, one sugar', as opposed to black. 'Double-Double's' shall be encouraged.

6 - Don Cherry shall adress the nation on a daily basis, encouraging Canadian troops and molding Americans into 'proper' Canadians.

7 - 'Election's' shall be held before the snow thaws, allowing the Northern States to express their free will to join Confederation. These states will be encouraged to send their troops home from Iraq to help liberate them from cruel federal american opression.

Canada shall welcome all the new northern provinces as part of the 'Greater Dominion of Canada'. The Dominion and Mexico will carve out the Southern States.

This has nothing to do with American Oil. Honestly. It's about... erm... weapons of mass destruction.

1) Give Bush something to shiny to play with, that should keep him occupied and too busy to react for a year or so.
2) Invade.

Canada doesn't have a large enough military to take out a state, let alone the entire country. The entire canadian airforce could fit on just one of our aircraft carriers with a bit of room to spare.

Honestly the Indiana National Guard is a bigger militiary organization than Canada's armed forces.

The idea of Canada invading US is not new, ever since the British Landed in North American and swindled the natives out of their land through force bribary and shiny things the british and the canada's have been a British influence. When the french were honoured out of their north american possessions minus like one or two islands. Canada came into being. When the americans came into being essentially it was the British Common law system but more like 'the Cromwell republic part 2' but reverse on social issues. The Americans managed to hit the british where it hurt and issues about killing your own country men forced George to loose power and be declared 'insane' the court 'let' the americans win because the Empire was becoming dangerou and with the Napoleanic Wars the British would be in an odd situtoin on the continent so they decided to just focus on Europe even though George was looking to 'reinvade' america. Of course America had french support and Britian was attempting to stabalize the continent in their favour NOT send a whole bunch of troops in an unpopular war.. even though the empire loyalists lost their lands.. the rothechild banking empire Britian still had economic control of the americas so why not protect america from being taken over by a foreign non english force.. they still had the money.. so why not let them be 'independant' to insure their protection the culture was partially the same and england could be stabalized by giving all the unwanteds a place to resettle.

When the americans attempted to attack the Canadas again the british took washington and burned it to the groun the president fled... war of 1812 I beleive.. the british could have crushed america but they decided to go for a quick peace instead of taking all the people they really didn't like as it would disrupt the economy tremedously, so the british settled for just hitting the americans where it hurt and leaving it at that.

Of course Canada with a british mindset until the 1900's still had contact with the us the 1900's created a great american shift by the time the british influence was waining after the weakened monarch of WWI with the gothe/windsor that is german/british royal family the heritage of the royal family was weakened. Canada was also a mix.. and so by the time WWII came around Canada was in a north american defence mindset.. truely by the end of WWII US and Canada had defensive arrangements and leading into now norad and north american security cooperation. it will be more integrated.. Truely though national governments are only vaugely in control.. it is really the economic and political system that is pulling the strings as long as capitalism is the rule.. as long asd there is exploitable materials it will stay that way.

The only way canada would be able to take america is if it smuggled in around 100 nuclear bombs into all the major population centers of the US in a covert nuclear arms program. that wouldn't be traced.. Of course anything could happen at that point...

Really it is the media that is the key and the families

I don't see canada and the US as that different.. americans appear more progressively motivated then canadians and canadians appear more homely.

Although I thought I would note that the Canadian Armed forces is 'ONE' force. The capacities of canada as a militarized state is minimized to what it could be.

The US defence spending is 'proposterous to other countries standards of defence spending.. but their economy is larger as well.. but if us defence spending is larger than all other contries combined you got to wonder if it is defence or overkill.. well whatever they are doing they are doing what they like..

we no no one can be ruled except those who are willing. no freeman is willing to be ruled, except by their own law.


ICE MACHINE TURN IT UP to tropical...

ps I relize it was humourous but canada is best positioned to take over the us...

Naturally well adjusted to large amounts of snow, they will likely put up the hardest resistance. But Hockey Awareness Month and mandatory Timmie's will make it easier to Canadianize them.

I hope Maryland is northern enough to be able to join Canada. To prove we are part of the north and not the south:

- we have no Sheetz stations
- no cotton or tobacco farms here
- if somebody speaks with a southern accent we ask them where they're from
- we have cold winters with snow
- biracial couples are welcome
- I hear people talk about "down south" but never "up north" (unless we're talking about the Yukon)

Good luck. You'll need lots of it. Especially since the west(California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, etc.) don't really like Canadization all that much and we don't like the idea of being ruled by someone worse than any US president in history. Plus, we find Mexica water too dirty and we like drinking our nice, clean water. Don't kill off millions through disease and malnutrition.

But that is beside the point, my point is that I was almost ready to welcome Canadian Domination (or at least greet it with the same disobedience and apathy that Republican Domination receives), especially since the promised blizzards would make a wonderful alternative to summer in New York, but then I read this:

Oh and I nailed that mobile button thing inside of 30 seconds.

According to this (http://www.usatoday.com/graphics/news/gra/gguardlevel/frame.htm) link Indiana has 12,148 troops in it's Army National Guard. It at least it did in 2000. Texas had 16,359 soldiers, California had 16,095 soldiers, and my own Michigan had 8,386. Note that these numbers don't include the Air National Guard's of the various states.

I think California or Texas could probably resist a Canadian invasion. Especially California, seeing as they have more people and all....

Although we Michiganders have always been wary of a Canadian invasion. That's why we moved our capitol from Detroit to Lansing. Also, our flag has a guy with a gun standing on a peninsula. Why does he have a gun? To keep the Canadians (and Ohioans) out.

Although my stance on the canadian military is questionable, you have to understand that the US DOD is roughly equivlent to the Solicitor General & Public Health and Safety Ministry vaugely imo

Canada does have arms manufacturors and produces weapons for the US and others. Countries generally don't need militaries but prefere to be able to kill people they don't agree with, canada is mostly satisfied, there is no lack of resources, and abundance of food and space of course who ould like to live in a cold country half the year. Most wars are just ignorances or belief. true canada is at war but they are picking on a third world country.. or helping a third world country depending on how you veiw the government, just ask the criminals if the cops helped them or screwed them


• General Motors Defense Canada London, ON swiss variant (LAV), sales totalled $831 million in 2001 Stryker LAV IIIs etc. w/ General Dynamics Land Systems in Michigan

• Bombardier Inc of Montreal pilot training programs
among the 100 largest arms-producing companies worldwide in 2000.

•General Dynamics Canada

• The SNC-Lavalin Group Montreal ammunition SNC TEC small and large calibre

• Magellan Aerospace Corporation of Mississauga Bristol Aerospace in Winnipeg, Chicopee Manufacturing in Kitchener, Fleet Industries in Fort Erie, Orenda Aerospace in Mississauga, and Orenda Recip in Debert, Nova Scotia as well as a number of US subsidiaries.military aircraft components and other military sales

• Pratt & Whitney Canada of Longueuil, Quebec is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, the world’s 11th largest arms-producing company.

turboshaft and turboprop engines for civilian and military aircraft markets

Canadian Marconi Corporation Electronics military communications and avionics equipment
• Bell Helicopter Textron Canada is a subsidiary of Textron Inc, the US company which ranked 27th globally among the largest arms manufacturers in 2000. Mirabel, Quebec,helicopters Griffin helicopter program.

• Héroux-Devtek Inc Markham, Ontario aircraft landing gear systems automatic rifles and related systems


-----
Also you should consider reserve and police forces as paramilitary forces. You generally would look soley at 'professional fighting forces atleast for an offensive defensive strenght is questionable, for instance various canadians go overseas to serve say in lebanon armed forces or in the past serbian armed forces etc.. as they are obligated to do. Canada doesn't need a large military, the world doesn't need a large military there appear to be

IN a time of real war canada has much industry that could be converted to war making capacitiies chemicals etc..

It seems harper is intent on increasing the size of the military, and increasing it's spending.

anyway I'm tired. Canada's Military is relatively small, Canada largely depends on it's allies and hoars it's resources well as that type of ally.
A large chunk of it's defence capacites seem to go to Saudiarabia the US and Europe.

I assume it is most unfathomable for a Canadian to ever beleive that war could really happen in their own homeland... it just has never happened in half a century. It is mostly forgotten. I'm sure it is like that for many people in relatively stable countries like sweden or italy.
