    And the U.S. has had nukes for decades. That is not good evidence that we are about to be invaded.

    I don't think we are about to be invaded.

    It might not be for 100 years, who knows.

    Point is, we can concede the land and the ocean to the U.S. if we don't stop them from occupying it.

    Well, let's see, the "terrorists" bought ammonium nitrate, that could be a weapon.

    The U.S. has thousands of nuclear bombs. No question.

    The "terrorists" wrote some stuff about fighting for god.

    The U.S. President Bush is fighting for god.

    What's the difference?

    Bush said "you are either with us, or with the terrorists", so basically if we didn't go to afghanistan, we'd be an enemy of the U.S. and considered terrorists?

    What is it that the muslim extremists say? You are either muslim or your dead.

    A lot of striking similarities there ;)

    then why haent we invaded france and germany? they are 100% against our polices. your country only risks getting invaded if you openly attacks us or somehow let the taliban take power.


    and for some reason you think some islamic extremists having alot of fertilizer (the kind typically used for bombs no less) as circumstancial evidence?

    What?

    I'm stating it as a possibility, not an imminent threat. This thread was about Canada pulling out of the north and signing up on some U.S. lead military program.

    Canada needs to maintain it's soveriegnty, and part of that is protecting it's self autonomosly. We need to protect the north and stop foreign subs from playing around up there.

    Obviously the US is never going to invade Canada unless maybe we have the last drops of oil left on Earth or something. I agree that military funding shiould be boosted to give our troops better equipment and to defend our sovereignty in the north which will become a majore gateway to Asia in another decade. Not to increase depolyment and operations in Afganistan though.

    the fact that you think its even possible is laughable. you should be thankful US military is patrolling or help patrolling any part of your coasts. America is NOT your enemy.

    Maybe "America" should ask our fucking permission then eh?

    Maybe "America" should let us know it's patrolling the north instead of doing it covertly without our knowledge.

    Maybe "America" should ask us to send FBI agents into our country instead of doing it covertly without our knowledge.

    No, "America" says "we are your friends" as they stick a knife in our back.

    I don't stand in your front fucking yard with a bazooka claiming to protect you and your family. That's bullshit man, and you know it.

    I'm getting pretty sick and tired of you guys putting words in my mouth here. You keep going back to this idea that I think Canada will be invaded by military force and I keep suggesting we are slowly losing our sovereignty. I can see the fundamental differences in those two.

    Do some fucking reading

    I am a Canadian and often vote for parties based on their stance on this issue. I have always thought that since it is easier to fire a missile than it is to intercept it, that arming in defense will not work. I think some nobel peace prize winner came up with the same idea.
