As I glanced over my Google News feed this afternoon, I noticed and interesting headline:

"Suicide bomber kills four Canadian soldiers in Panjwai district"

I was shocked. Canada has an army? And they're actually doing things that can get them killed? It makes me feel kind of bad for making so much fun of Canada. I mean, aside from maple syrup, funny accents, and a place where the French can go to feel their language isn't completely useless, I didn't know Canada actually contributed anything to the world. Their having an army completely changes everything. My plan to slowly annex their country and declare it "State Canada" might not work as smoothly as I thought. I'm not saying it won't work, just that we might have to employ a few suicide bombers.

Mmm, I discovered that Canada had an army like two years ago. And that Canadians have had forces in more than 200 operations worldwide. Here, read the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Forces

Furthermore, why would we want to take over Canada? They have a much lower murder rate, a better health care system, looser Marijuana laws, and funnier comics. Maybe they should take over US. (Don't take credit for that pun.)    

Okay, I'll admit it. I was really needing something to post. The only part I liked was the line "a place where the French can go to feel their language isn't completely useless." I maintain that most of my posts are almost completely sarcastic and feel awkward when people reply using real arguments (with citations!).
