USA/Canada merger ?

wait you mean to tell me you guys dont call them FREEDOM FRIES?

'Murica.

I thought Canada was still part of the United Kingdom, operating independently?

Dear America,

No thanks.

Sincerest Apologies,

The true north proud and free.

That's how you make games more exciting. Make the field larger, remove one player, and open it up. Basketball would be better with a larger court, and hockey is better on a European rink.

Increase the size of the field by the same percentage the players have grown over the last 5 decades. Baseball seems to me to be the only sport to which this rule doesn't apply...cause the long ball rocks.

I don't know about the other sports, but the latest Olympics was proof plenty that hockey is NOT better on bigger ice. It's a boring trap game with no play on the boards, and zero intensity. Those games were like watching paint dry.

But back on topic, a standard in pretty much every mom and pop, country, and family restaurant up here is the hot beef, or the hot turkey. Based on your no gravy on the fries policy, I assume you don't have that?

In reply to Zomby Woof:

Are you talking about a Manhattan?

Oh and if biscuits and gravy are wrong I don't wanna be right.

Signed,

Your friendly southern constituent

One of my favorite diner meals is an open roast beef sandwich and fries with gravy on both. I didn't realize that was Canadian. I can almost forgive the extra "u"s and he misspelling of tires

Y'all would have to get rid of your guns.

Yup, that's a hot beef. You can also get a hot hamburg if'n you want.

This thread reminds me of a Tshirt...

Between that, the football issue and the bacon issue, it's a testament to our respective civilizations that we aren't at war already.

Oh and we haven't even gotten to the beer yet...

You can keep your Poutine, just gimmie you import laws.

Now what sense would that make?

I'd be ok with your beer...

berkeley no x a billion. I'm new here, it took me 46 years to escape you homicidal maniacs . I'm not going back, you can't make me!

Y'all could actually have some

(legally and not have to hide them like hundreds of thousands of Canadians do)

*on a side note it is actually funny while firearms are heavily regulated by our neighbors up north they actually get some stuff we can't here in the States that many of our collectors and enthusiasts would love to get their hands on.

Canadians are too polite for civil war(i.e. "Sooory Quebec, you can't leave us eh"), let alone war with a neighboring nation.

I think we could merge based on these terms:

• we replace the national bird: the eagle becomes a kinda hybrid flying beaver/loon thing.
• we can have both kinds of bacon, as long as we recognize that "canadian bacon" is a flavorless puck of worthless matter
• the ridiculous "english" system gets completely replaced with all metric like god intended.
• Justin Beiber gets sent to Germany to live out the rest of his career with David Hasselhof.
• up there, you call them washrooms. We call them bathrooms. In public places, neither are appropriate. We shall call them "evacuation rooms"
• The national food won't be apple pie or hamburgers, it will be Poutine. Screw the haters.

Bring on the merger!

Yeah, you guys would be like, "sooory I shot your guy, but this is my first too-er of duty, eh?"

You shut your lying mouth.

Y'all would have to take them, or at least try to.

The Canucks I know disown what is known in the US as Canadian bacon. They call that crap back bacon or something. Bacon is bacon.

Screw hamburgers or poutine. Bacon will be not only the National dish, but the global dish!

A better idea, build a larger fence. Drop all the hipsters and uber-progressives on the northern side of it, where they belong.
