War clouds gather to the North.

My plans for Canada proceed apace (see discussion here). Canada is setting the pretext for war with the US over our submarines transiting the North Pole, which will give us the excuse to strike North and seize all the good spots, and prevent them from, wait - they can *have* Detroit. CAPT H had a pretty good plan for that.

Of course - the analysts have it wrong...

Testing the notion that he would kowtow to the Bush administration, Harper, whose Conservative Party won general elections on Monday, said Thursday he would stand by a campaign pledge to increase Canada�s military presence in the Arctic and put three military icebreakers in the frigid waters of the Northwest Passage.

This is obviously double-plus good! Mr. Harper is setting the stage for a "Mouse that Roared" scenario - all part of Dubya's Plan for World Hegemony�!

Hee! Let's see if any of our Canuckistanian readers rise to the bait.

"... putting maple syrup on Merrell laces ...": its the only way of making them remotely chewable. And yes, we know, we're part of the solution. Cheers JMH

...our plaid dressed maple syrup laced canoe militia... Uhh--do the Regulars know this sort of shennanigans is taking place in their bailiwick? I doubt they'd quarrel with the militia being clad in plaid, but putting maple syrup on Merrell laces is almost a sacrilege...

Well, I know some Detroiters who wouldn't agree... but go for it Karen! Start the Movement to Secede!

All that good socialist Ontario car parts productivity for sure. There is also one factor in which Detroiters are in tune with Canada - Stevie Y and Shanahan! Gods on blades.

...many Detroiters would prefer being part of Canada. We're much more in tune with Canadians than Texans. That's because Canadian-made auto parts are superior to Texas-made-- *dang! what's texas manufacture?* --ummmmmmm--rattlesnake chili. Unless you're hungry, of course...

Let me make one thing clear: many Detroiters would prefer being part of Canada. We're much more in tune with Canadians than Texans.

Oh, I think we'll let the provinces come in as individual states, wouldn't we? Of course, if we bring the whole mess in as one state, they only get two senators...

If any members of the future 51st state wish to make propitiary offerings, I am very partial to currant scones and blackcurrent-flavored goodies. Plus I am quite near the border so you won't have to make too much of a trip. A small investment, really, and you don't want an Evil Overlord annoyed with you in addition to the usual traffic hazard of an invasion ;-)

My nephew is living in Sasketchewan for the next couple of years...he loves it there. He has learned to speak Canadian and can almost pass for a native. Once he gets those mukluks, no one will be the wiser.

No need to plan much for the invasion of Alberta as the New Vichy-bertans will be welcoming the conquest with open arms.

And we all know Alberta is full of oil. When do we invade?

Seeing as PM Harper has a full 36.5% of the population and an amazing 124/308 of the seats of the legislature I really feel confident that he speaks for the nation here on the Arctic question. As our second hand UK diesel subs are periodically in drydock due to being lemons you will never know when we are about to be able to strike. Again, I warn you for your own good. If you want to know the taste of the paddle to the back of the head by our plaid dressed maple syrup laced canoe militia bring it on. Try the front door first - we'll all be out back just waiting to pounce! Alan
