<<Why on earth would we WANT Africa? I'd be much more inclined to take over Canada. >> Back in '84 when Quebec was threatening going it alone the talk in Ontario was joining the US.

"and because of their strict gun control laws there could be no effective civilian resistance." How true and how sad. Around 75,000 people are now in violation of the new gun laws here. Mostly farmers who forgot they have a 22 rifle in the closet. "I daresay two aircraft carriers and dozen marine squadrons could take over the country in a matter of days." You could take over the rich center portion in an afternoon without crossing the border. Most of the Provincial capitals are within shooting distance of the U.S. border. The Minot and Fargo Air Force squadrons could wait for a cold winter day and knock out the power stations and legislative buildings in the a.m. and be home for lunch. Without power 95% of the northern communities would freeze in the dark.
