#4 It would be Canada's right to build such a wall if they wanted one. Defending borders is one of those things that define a soverign nation.

I think they might be sad when they notice few Americans care. We tend to go places legally, and even our millionaires that constantly harp about leaving never seem to go.

#7 Canada is Not the 51st state of the USA, got that and wish they would get over it, too! Wonder how much of that is the Quebecois feeling pissy and it just bleeds over to the general level of discourse...?
Remember, in America's Wars we are 0-2 against Canada. We have good stat's everywhere else, but the Canucks have handed us our ass in all of our squabbles up there.

#8 They aren’t going to build a 5000 mile wall. They just send representatives to states to tell illegals stay in the US.

#9 Canada's purchase of the still in work pipeline to feed Alberta oil to the west coast has all sort of Washington tree-humpers in fits....
lots of fun to watch.

#10 Remember, in America's Wars we are 0-2 against Canada.

As a major in American History, I remember things a bit differently. I remember the second one as a tie.

As far as a north wall goes, remember that one planeload of the 9/11 hijackers flew in from Canada. Several years earlier a terrorist tried to smuggle in a truck bomb from Canada. He was captured when an American border guard noticed he was sweating profusely.

Well, except for the Native Americans who were being used as a buffer against American westward expansion by the Brits in Canada. They lost.

Oh, and on the second. Never start a war if you don't have an army to fight it with.

#14 The Insufferable News Hour would be a great name for a TV news show.

#15 Since I was a girl Canadians have been taught in school to define themselves in comparison to those dreadful Americans, just as once upon a time Germans were taught to define themselves in comparison to those dreadful, cosmopolitan Jews. Except without the genocide, of course.

And given the longstanding tradition of coming south illegally from Canada, a northern wall is not a bad idea — we could build it together with the Canadians as a joint project. A older Jewish lady in my writing group once told how her grandparents had emigrated to Canada, then a few years later the entire family drove across to Chicago, where they settled at the turn of the last century. Yes, it was quite illegal, she said, but so what? They eventually became good American citizens, even producing a famous novelist whose name I can never remember. “So what?” was also her attitude to the current illegals coming north from south of the border.
