I heard, though, that Joan wasn’t too fond of steak. Something about burning them???
Well, considering what I know of her life I am doubtful that she had an opportunity to have steaks very often, but I get your point :-) Libertina, on the other hand, has no problem with a very occasional one if my memory serves. :-)
By the way, we shouldn’t have to invade Canada. With their healthcare, most of them will come here eventually, anyway. That, and the fact that their dollar coin is a Loony. (Do they have Loony Stores up there?)
Although I'm sure that you're right about most of them coming here for our healthcare anyway, there are other reasons to invade and make it our 51st State:
- They have oil. With their military as it is, they are of course dependent upon the USA for their own national defense and so we should simply move up there to protect their oil from a closer proximity.
- Hockey. A potentially violent sport that would have true promise if appropriately Americanized. Razor-tipped sticks and exploding goals would be a good start. Also, it hasn't been infested with inner-city gang "culture" the way football and basketball has, and so it would be far more pleasant to watch for those of us who dislike the endless gang references in American pro sports.
- Maple syrup. Good on waffles and pancakes, so it's important to protect the supply.
-
Wood. They have forests, and American men like to build things for their wives in their basement workshops. Reason enough to invade.
