The Average Canadian is Now Richer than the Average American

[Penny Lane 8,159]

A lot of people think of Canadians as these nice, warm, fury, little creatures that live up North. If you have ever driven the ALCAN Highway you would know they are anything but. The ALCAN is a highway the American's built during WW2 so we could run supplies up to Alaska to help fight the Japs. A US designed and built highway from Washington State to Alaska....through two Canadian provinces. The Canadians have three prices along that highway. One for Canadians, a higher one for cars with US plates, and an even higher price for anyone with Alaska plates. Scam artist don't even begin to explain it. And before Canada started the tight ####### border procedures that later on the US took up the Canadians would flood the US border towns to buy cheaper gas and cigs thus driving the prices up in those towns. You want to know what country the terrorist come through on their way to the US? Well here's a hint...it isn't Mexico.

Hope they didn't fly via Heathrow or London will be next to be bombed by the US

I thought Atta (a Saudi) was living in Germany.

Can we bomb Germany and Canada to make sure ?

We can't bomb Saudi even thought nearly all the attackers came from there because it wasn't their fault and they are our allies because they embrace so much of our values..

What if they had all come from Mexico - would we have ignored that ?

How come we give Saudi a pass ?

Forget Iran, lets go bomb Saudi next

Are you suggesting it would be unwise to paint all Canadians with a broad brush?

You would need a very broad brush to paint the average Mississippian - and a lot of paint

That way we can make some money too.

They haven't had a pop at his religion yet - they must be saving that for later stages of the election

They can't and they won't. They can't really poke fun at Romney's religion, without exposing their own to ridicule.

Oh come on - married virgins being magicked into being pregnant with an immortal being baby is entirely believable - but Mormonism has some really ridiculous notions
