I was doing the Wendy's chick.

Gentle reminder: she's not a real redhead.

So Canadians have something to be thankful for.  Good for them.

Yes, it's nice they have a holiday celebrating 60 years of continuous protection under the US nuclear security umbrella.

You're welcome, Soviet Canuckistan.

You are welcome for the protection offered by thousands of miles of frozen tundra.

Also, NORAD only works because Canadians are on the staff.

And 200+ years of continuous protection under the continuous protection of the Royal Navy.

It's good to have friends.  It gives us something to be thankful for. :)



And if you want to get technical about it, Canada was seriously involved in supplying the Manhattan project, and was the second country in the world to produce a nuclear reactor (in 1945 no less).  It's only because you guys asked us politely not to build nuclear weapons that we chose not to. :)
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

I think we should force our non-Britain, non-France allies to pony up.  I think it's probably worth about $13 trillion with interest.

What's there that we want? CC's prized ski slopes, Neil's reservations, Viper/Grallon's signs with large French lettering?

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Not only that but of all of the countries in on early atomic research Canada had by far the fewest spies passing it all on to Moscow.

:w00t: and :hug: Canada :)
Let's bomb Russia!

Hope all the board's Canadians had a great Thanksgiving!  :)

So, speaking of Canadian meals and holidays and such....

I'm hosting Max's family for Christmas. What should be on my menu that's outside The American Norm (tm)? Keep in mind, the family is from Alberta & Saskatchewan not Quebec or Vancouver.

Suggestions?
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
