If Bush reads this, Canada is in trouble!

On that note, here is a great article from Wired mag.

That was a great read. Thanks, rclouse.

Canada has quietly been the #1 producer of oil to the US for years.

It will stay that way forever. Why?

Symbiosis.

I don't think Alberta would want to join the US. They would have to pay higher US income taxes as well as FICA taxes that way. With AB looking at eliminating their income tax, that would leave them with a max rate of 29%. And the new map of the USA would look weird. Flat along the top except for Alberta jutting out there.

I find this very depressing. Cdns have long known Alberta was and is rich in oil (I guess we kept this a secret?). But with the rise of global warming, I would hope we would decrease our consumption of fossil fuels. Hasn't anyone heard about the ice sheet in Greenland?!

Did you guys also know that the Dark Ages were a result of a decrease in global climate of just 2-3 degrees?

An increase in global climate of just 2-3 degrees will raise the oceans to levels that will cover, by some estimates, over 25% of today's landmasses.

It's possible that we'll see something like this in our lifetime.

I vote to invade. I think we could beat the Alberta Navy with ours within a few months.

Yeah, that's what some folks thought about Saddam's toops three years ago...

That reminds me of this joke:

"This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio

conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND

LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR

COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call. "

It's still funny as hell.

Do you mean the prehistoric Ice-Age, or the medieval Dark Ages (post roman empire)?

Actually, this joke was made by the Canadians. Probably not true, but still funny.

"The Truth:

It is a commonly told joke, not a real incident, and the U.S. Navy has officially denied the version that claims it took place between the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and a lighthouse. "
