Canada to Build Twenty-foot Fence if Perry Elected

[White Eagle]

Maybe I could get the Canadians permission to cross if I showed them my Grandmothers papers upon becoming Canadian, and then my Grandfather and Grandmother's papers showing them they returned to the United States. I know it's not much, but I gotta try.

Canada to Build Twenty-foot Fence if Perry Elected
Could Be Electrified, Border Officials Warn

OTTAWA (The Borowitz Report) – Canada warned today that if Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) is elected President of the United States in 2012, it would take the “regrettably necessary step” of constructing a 20-foot fence along its entire border with the U.S.

Hmm. I guess I should prepare my Go bag for the day after election day, so I can get there before they get the fence built.

Perry isn't the scariest one, though he's quite scary enough. He's in the "consider emigrating" category of scary. Bachman is in the "fly, you fools!" category.

How lenient is Canada on those who enter properly but overstay their entry terms? Hell, I'm ptactically there already - and Mainers already accept Canadian coinage. Any special compensation for us for putting up with Bush without bothering you hospitable folks?

I just LOL over the fact that Canada has the funds to build a fence and the US doesn't.

Yes, if they did that would be hilarious. Also they'd probably have to hire a bunch of Americans to build it.

Maine could secede and join Canada.

Didn't we fight a war about that one time?

Yeah, but they were all noisy. They asked to be slapped down. Maine is out on the edge, nice and quiet. They could just sneak away unnoticed.

A couple actually, and they were over just how far south the Canadian border extended.

Which is kind of funny to me, because the further "North" one travels in Maine, the more "rural" it gets.

Cross over into New Brunswick, and you'd think that you'd just driven into Southern Connecticut from Up State New York.

Meaning that New Brunswick is much more populated, than the "wilderness" of Northern Maine.

If the American "kids" want to go a "city" or buy booze, they "cross the boarder" and head into Canada at that point.

Far easier than if you were an American or Mexican trying to travel back and forth between Brownsville, or El Paso.

Experienced it myself, personally. Not something that I read or heard somewhere.

No one would notice if we left. Hell, even to the Weather Channel we're just Northern New England. Just about everything up here is owned or supplied by Canada. Even our lobsters go to Canada for processing - and to be branded Product of Canada/Produit de Canada.

Dinner in Montreal anyone?

My brother has always said:

There are only TWO things you need to know about Canada...

1) 90% of its population lives within 30 miles of the U.S. border...

2) The M5 Abrams tank can go 30 MPH...

Nah, I wouldn't want to cross the boarder, I may need the money to get to Canada.

I was referring to the war about whether states have the right to secede. I think it's been pretty clearly established that they do not.

Really?

I thought we were talking about whether Canadians know how to build a fence and whether they have the resources to keep Americans out.

Canadians know how to build a fence. But they would never do anything so rude!

 

[Centexfarmer]

Then to keep their fellow Canadians IN?

I'm so confused.

That was before we signed the UN Charter, which recognizes the right of self-determination.

No Canadian Fences

Sometimes you'll catch them acting crude
or wasting perfectly good food
with luck you'll find them party nude --
But they'll never, ever be so rude!​

8,891 kilometres of 5.08 meters fence, which gives us 45*166*280 square meters of fence... I don't think so...
