Default If the US and Canada were to go to war.

When a former company of mine won an Air Force environmental services contract, we had to get top security security clearances. When the security people interviewed us, they asked my partner, who was a Canadian citizen, "If Canada and the US were to go to war, which side would you support?" That ranks right up there with the dumbest f*cking questions I've ever heard. Right up there with them asking me if he smoked marijuana, as if I were going to say yes. (I replied, like Time Magazine, right after Star Wars I came out, about Chewbacca, "He doesn't.)

Canada would win because we'd cut off your supplies of Canadian bacon, lumber and beer =P

I think that South Park covered this situation quite well actually.

I think we are going to war - at about 1:30 MST today! It'll last only a couple of hours, and the US will be victorious!

Oh, and by the way - you can STOP sending us that old, skunky beer you have been sending us for the past few decades and start sending us the good stuff! I'd like some Bradora, please!

From what I have read...the Vermont National Guard is bigger than the Canadian Military...so there is nothing to worry about...

Interesting, yet retarded question. While the odds of Canada and the US ever going to war is like me winning th Power Ball 3 times in a row.. If it were to happen the US would decimate Canada...but I'm sure everyone knows that...though if we did last for a while, we could cut off your power supply, seeing as ( I forget the percentage ) like 60% of it comes from canada..

Now on the other hand..if we're talking hockey?? well Canada will lay the smack down this afternoon and leave the US crying in thier weak ass beers

Stay tuned for my incessant gloating this afternoon

I have to agree with Mindcore, we would not last to long. We might even surprise you and also roll out the red carpet for you guys...would fix some other problems we have...man, if only we had your dollar and tax rate!

But then, if you are talking about the hockey game...then get ready for an ass whoopin' from us!

s2kskibum...you have to try Upper Canada...now that is good beer! Come on up for the Salamander run and I will make a point of buying you one.
