Although, you could have mentioned how we kicked Yankee arse in 1812.....
Canada wasn't a country until 1867.
We'll liberate you yet, don't worry. Most of you have placed yourself in easy reach along the border already... :)

Are you really so naive?? 95+% of our 35m people (err, shock troopers hardened in the north working as jumberjacks and hunting bears with knives to survive or skinning beaver tails) is within 100km of the border. When an order is given, these troops will sweep down to the Gulf, only pausing for a minute to burn the whitehouse twice.
Easy access goes both ways, eh? :) No wander US gov't is freaking out and spending billions on the northern border.
