No. We will always follow our silly brother... And this works how? Suppose the US doesn't get a UN resolution authorizing war. You're still coming? Your PM said not. You might find this interesting: Message 18620230 GOOD!! Pardon moi, but we're not insisting everyone stop dead in their tracks to accommodate us. Just get off the tracks so we can come through. But "assimilation" is an economic and cultural intrusion. Yeah, I know. As in every other country on the planet, we send the US army up there to FORCE you Canadians to buy our goods and services. You have absolutely NO choice. This is possibly the largest piece of BS promoted this century. This is equivalent to claiming that kids eat ice cream because their parents force it down their throats. Come on, Solon, you're smarter than that. We buy lots of goods from China. When have you heard us screaming about Chinese cultural influence destroying our precious, fragile American culture? Hey, you don't like American products? Don't buy them. They'll stop showing up in Canada soon enough. Oh. But what about all those Canadian products that get shipped to the US? Shall they be stopped too? We are each other's largest trading partners, you know. I could tell you things about American commerce with enemies that would probably astound you. Biuying Iraqi oil? I kno about that. Supposedly it was to keep Iraqi kiddies from starving. Supposedly. You got a problem with that? any people fighting for their cultural survival would do similar or the same... Yeah. If they decide to fight for "cultural survival". Which means attempting the impossible act of stopping history. If you have brains, you adapt to change. The rest of Canada seems to understand that and gets on quite well. What's with the Quebecois?
