    They have an accusation, they look into it. This is the mark of a working democracy. Now, if they come to the conclusion that Canda's free market was hurt because of Apple, then democracy has left Canada.

    I think that France should just have left America get trampled by the United Kingdom, backstabbed the British (which they would have respected, it is the Tudor way, after all), annexed everything up to China and started colonizing Mars already. However, it's not like my inane ramblings serve any historical purpose, so that's just me.

    Where will the Americans who can't go to the Texas National Guard to avoid being sent to war, like G.W.B., hide, if Canada gets annexed?

    Also, maybe America should start with (re-)annexing California. Last time I checked, it had been overrun by hipsters wearing black glasses and well-trimmed beards.

     

    I have a better idea though. Canada should legalize the sale of marijuana within 100miles from the US border. Hey, it works fine in Amsterdam.

    I’d actually prefer they go republican and eventually join the Union.

    How would you go on holiday abroad, or store your undeclared assets in a foreign fiscal paradise, heh?

    You unified India, at least. Say what you will about British control, but they likely wouldn’t be unified without English to speak and British infrastructure.

     

    “But India was split by a moron with no experience in the field and two weeks to draw a line...”

     

    Yes; unified as far as it is.

    True.

    It's a pity about Pakistan, though. Such a silly squabble.

    We did storm them first. Who do you think named San Antonio, San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco?

    Ignorance is wonderful, isn't it?  I mean, I wouldn't know.  But I've heard from others.

    So true! I also find that walking into any one of the carrier's stores and having Android fluff pushed on me HARD is deeply aggravating. It is obvious Google is paying the carriers way more money than Apple in an attempt to garner higher sales through this type of forceful sales tactic. Why does the gov't not look into that? It has changed a bit lately because of the immense interest in the iPhone 6 but I used to have to go in and say, "Eww, no of course I don't want an Android. Yuck! Where is your Apple stuff?"

    First, he went to Alabama NG. Second, there is no draft. Third, he's not the only politician to avoid Vietnam. Fourth, Canada will be turned into a prison colony.

    It absolutely was Canadians, fighting as part (and with the combined forces of) the British Empire.

     

    And given the current state of North American education, I have no doubt that people living directly below Canada would advocate using military weapons with contaminants that would feed directly into your own water supplies.

    What contaminants? What military weapons? Good old fashioned dump trucks and steamshovels.

    Actually, if you truly promised to do THAT to Ottawa, many Canadians would fight to elect you Prime Minister.
