    Lol, you're going back a couple centuries. Before Canada was its own country.

    Things have changed, if we invaded we'd take that place over in less time than Germany took France.

    But lucky for you there are lots of Rush fans in America. So you're military which has I believe something like 70,000 troops won't have to get whipped by our military which has 2 million troops.

    Canadien beer is nothing special.

    Actually less as its top heavy.

    I think there is some where around 30000 combat troops.

    My uncle was with the Canadian Airborne and my brother was with the RCR and its sad what those guys had to work with. Im pround of the men and women that serve in our Armed forces but our politicians have really let theme and us Canadians down with the budget cuts to our Armed Forces.:(

    Yeah, they know America will protect them so they don't spend much on the military. I do however respect Canada's role in WW2.

    OK, OK enough already.

    Honestly your record ain't that good against counties that fight back. You did kick butt in the Falklands tho. Or maybe that was Grenada.

    Also might want to consider:
    Canada enters WWI in 1914. US enters in 1917.
    Canada enters WW II in 1939. US enters in 1944.

    I cross between Canada and the US at least four times a week. In the last six months I have gone through three full searches. There are days when for whatever the reason they step up the searches. Going through Detroit last Sunday they were snapping seals right at the primary booth on every second truck. Custom officers run the gauntlet when it comes to attitude and professionalism and each border station is unique

    I got in a fight with one of our US Customs clowns back in 1995, I haven't run Canada since. All over a stupid piece of paper that I didn't know how to fill out properly. I always was treated well by Canadian customs but our own customs people, that's a different story. Now you understand why so many of us won't cross the border for any amount of money. It just isn't worth it.

    sounds like a case of bad officers.....

    I've had numerous interractions with police, I've always been treated with respect and never had an issue.

    I work night shifts, so when I'm off, I'm off at night. and I visit places at night often. I've been "terry stopped" by the cops more times then I can count over this. It's always the same script, I explain what I'm doing, show them my ID, cool no more problem with the fuzz.

    So you're going to violently assault law enforcement officers if they are carrying out their duties in your presence?

    Hope it goes OK. I like hauling Canada freight. my current employer doesn't do Canada, if they did I would volunteer for it.

    I'm sorry you had those troubles, I wouldn't stop doing Canada altogether because of it, but I understand your reasons for not wanting to.
