I understand the fear, and particularly that of incrementalism ... I just don't see it as really being possible in the case of Canada. Just because we have such an agreement with Canada doesn't mean that we have to have such an agreement with other countries (like Mexico). Could it happen ... yes, and if it does that needs to be stopped. But Canada is a special case, with a people who are closely related to us and who speak English.

2000 armed Canadian troops going door-to-door throughout the USA ... ? 40 per-state? 5 cities per-each-troop? I don't know abotut you, but I wouldn't want to be that lone troop assigned to going door-to-door in Dallas, Houston, Austin, Fort Worth, and San Antonio (much less in all the suburbs and towns and the small cities and villages in the rural areas in-between). This fear is just hysteria.

The real fear I have is that, when Canada breaks up, Quebec (backed by France) is going to try and cease control the natural resources of the rest of Canada to keep us from getting them ... and THAT makes me very nervous.

Greg, those troops would process one city at at time. And if five of those groups came into the nation at our government’s request, it wouldn’t be pretty. Splitting them up into 500 men squads, they could do 20 cities at a time, going sector by sector through them.

Would that happen? I doubt it. I still think it’s a crazy idea to entertain a situation that could even remotely turn into something like this.

I don’t like the idea of Quebec going that route either. And that’s one of the major problems I have with a bi-lingual policy in the U.S. It’s separatist in nature. It certainly isn’t unifying.
