About possible VeeP Palin and the “no international boundary that’s remotely threatened by terrorism…â€
What about those Canadians? Aren’t you worried that
wethey might start throwing TimBits(tm) or Loonies at you?Or maybe try and start branch offices of The United Church of Canada?
Ummm… not really? In fact, we’d love it if you’d send some Timbits down here. 
In fact, the local co-op requires the Canadian drivers to bring some down with them in order to be allowed to stop for coffee.
I work on the border and can deal with the loonies — at least the coin version. (The people… not so much.)
They could launch poutine at us. Don’t you understand? THERE’S A POUTINE GAP!!!!
When I was visiting in Alberta, where all the oil is, I actually did think about it. If the US Republicns get desperate enough, what might they do to get their hands on those oil sands?
Seriously.
I’m kind of hoping that the Canucks will stage a surprise invasion. Free health care for everyone!!!
