Should the U.S. conquer Canada?

[implodinggoat]

The United States is overpopulated, we are running short on natural rescources, and we need a good way to work out some aggressions.

So should we conquer Canada?
They have ample amounts of land(and a small population), loads of natural rescources, and a huge stock of potential canidates for the U.S. olypic Hockey Team.

Also there is little to stop us from taking over. They aren't very intelligent, they spent their military budget on their health plan, and their only defense is a few underarmed mounties.

So I ask you is war with Canada the answer?

We've already pretty much taken over Canada already. Why waste time and damage international relations by going in there militarily?

We should be spending our resources instead on converting the American population even more and destroying opposition abroad. (Aka, anyone who fucks with us).

Ok you dumb shit:

1) most of canadas population lives within 150 mile of the american boarder. A great deal of are land is uninhabital.

2) America has tried to take over canada before. During the War Of 1812 you got wooped and then the canadians and the british burned down the whitehouse.

3) Canada has a higher living standard then america, and on average canadaians have a higher iq qoutient then Americans.

4) While are military does suck, unlike america, we are part of the british commonwealth. The commonwealth contains most of the countries that used to be part of the british empire (australia, Uk, Newzealand,..ect), these countries would be obligated to help canada. Canada also belongs to NATO and if america was the aggresser NATO would have to side with Canada.

5)Finally Shut the hell up you dumb American Hick!

The War of 1812 was not really won or lost by anyone. While the U.S. failed in taking over Canada the British failed in taking over the United States when they had a chance to. All in all the War of 1812 was a second bout with Britain in which the U.S. once again protected it's existence.

P.S. This is a joke(if a stupid one) and I am not a hick just a jackass.

I'm almost certain that we attacked Canada first. So in a way, we never finished our objectives in that war.

But that's old history anyways... who cares.

The important thing now is that we are a mighty nation today and on our way to becoming the masters of this world.

[implodinggoat]

I would also like to say that the only reason that I make fun of Canada is because I am envious of their superior health care system(which I have grown tired of hearing about)and because Canada is one of the few countries I can make fun of without being called a bigot.

(By the way, If you think that I put down two messages on after another to up the number of responses to my post because I am a pathetic loser who is trying to make himself feel like a big man you are wrong. In truth I putdown two post one after the other because I am mentally retaurded and obviously don't comprehend how to use my computer)

You fucking idiot:
Britian and american were at peace at the time. You entered in a war and failed to obtain the objective of the campaign(take over canada). Not only did you fail to obtain your objective your unorganized militia was sluagtered by profesional british and canadian soldiers.

Slaughtered? I laugh. Read some history. Yes, the White House was burned and Washington briefly invaded but that was about it. Baltimore was defended from the British navy's bombardment and the US army not just some militia held their ground. Not to mention the Battle of New Orleans in which Andrew Jackson slaughtered the British troops. Rank after rank attempted to charge the barricades and lines but were cut down every time.

There were also he clashes between the much smaller American armies in th southeast against "superior" British forces who suffered heavy losses because they stood there in their firing ranks like typical European armies of the time while the Americans used tactics that the British looked upon as "deceitful" and not proper warfare. Hiding behind trees, sniping officers from the woods, wearing dull, brownish clothing that blended in rather than standing there with a big white X target on your chest.

Yes, the inavsion of Canada failed but the US held its ground and stood up to the British harassment of the merchant vessals that were being seized and stopped. Also, the incitement of the Indians in the west by the British. Those were what the war was really about.

Alright VA7DAS you've pissed me off

You say the British beat the crap out of us well suck on this you torie bastard. The most major engagement of the entore fucking war The Battle of New Orleans(which occured after the war was ended by the treaty of Ghent, so don't try and look smart by pointing it out.),was a major American. General and future president Andrwe "Action" Jackson. Led the supposedly pathetic American Militia and defeated a larger force of British army regulars. Not only did he beat them but he killed over 2000 (including there general) in a single hour while losing only 13 Americans.

That My Friend is one hell of an ass whipping!

We Americans took those British Fucks and made them are bitches! In the words of Sergent Hartman from Full Metal Jacket we spooned out there eyes and skull fucked them then tor of their heads and shit down there neck hole!

In Conclusion VA7DAS you bitch
While we didn't take over Canada as we started the war to do. By Ass Fucking the British at The Battle of New Orleans we established ourselves as a world power and after that England Never Fucked with us Again!

So Shove It!

lol i love that movie

[Slizor]

I'm quite tired at the moment so I'll just add some information. The British soldiers sent to America were second-rate, the majority Irish, and poorly trained. They didn't view America as particually rebellous and had many other areas to worry about. Also, I know it maybe hard for some of you guys to swallow, but America didn't become a superpower until it decided to tell everyone in Europe to go fuck themselves for three years.

You're talking about WWI and Wilson's policy of neutrality right? Well, it wasn't out war, not until The Zimmerman Telegram and the sinking of the Lusitania. We didn't completely ignore Europe, we tried to mediate but of course that didn't work, with all the hard-set nationalism of the European empires. Germany and Austria were gonna kill France and Serbia and France was gonna kill Germany and and the Russians and British were gona help. Wilson said, Hey, count us out. Then we were provoked by Germany with their plots to team up with Mexico and wage war on the US so we sent General Pershing (the highest ranking US general ever, besides Washington) and the AEF.

I wasn't really trying to say that America was a superpower after the war of 1812 just that we were viewed as a country that it would take some effort for a major European power to take us over, rather than an unstable weakling whose experimentation with democracy was doomed to failure.

Also Slizor I would like to know if your comment was reffering to our neutrality in WWI or WWII?

You're missing the point. America did not become a superpower through sheer determination and hard work, it was because the rest of the world was involved in a war(this is in reference to both wars, the three years is about WW1) and America wasn't.

We became a superpower because we had been constantly growing westward and industrializing. Our time had simply come and the nation was reaching maturity. We didn't engage in bloody wars of nationalism with European neighbors. We had a large area of land to ourselves and we developed it. In Europe, things were more cramped so aspiring nations that wanted to expand colonized overseas and fought for tiny tracts of land on the continent.

The campaign into Canada was only to distract Brisith advancement into Maryland. It actually was a strategic success, in that by the requisition of goods and material, America was able to push the British into defending it's colony, rather than being able to strike-as-pleased along the American coast. It was a way of evoking land battle rather than sea war-fare. (being that America had almost no fleet)
America accomplished it's goals in that it was able to halt the theft of goods and impessment of American sailors and traders.
