That's what I mean. Canada is like the Canadian grizzly bear. For the most part, lazy and gluttonous, idly wandering about, sleeping most of the time and good naturedly bad tempered (it'll make a few angry noises until it's left alone). But don't forget that Canadians proudly fought and died for their country from start to finish in the two Great Wars. Canada, as much as any other single country (and far more than most), suffered greatly in WWI. And WWII.
Because when you piss a bear off, or come near it's cubs? Then there's only one sure way to stop it.
Magnum: Buck, Slug, Buck, Slug, Slug. You could try a rifle, but most hunting rifles that aren't made specifically for big game likely won't do the trick. Bears have walked off with several shots of 7.62 (or the equivalent) time and time again.
And something tells me that the terrorists didn't come loaded for bear.
"And something tells me that the terrorists didn't come loaded for bear."
LOL, I like your turn of phrase.
Of course, we all know that there is nothing scarier than a mother bear protecting her cubs.
But hey, it's not all bad. Canada IS engaged in Afghanistan and the men there are serving with honor.
