Don't mess with us

For the first time in history, Canada is using semi-harsh rhetoric:

Ottawa — Prime Minister Paul Martin is insisting that United States seek permission before firing any missiles over Canada.

The insistence came Friday in response to warnings that Canada has abdicated part of its sovereignty by refusing to take part in the U.S. missile-defence project.

PM Martin has also promised that, if we do fire a missile over Canada, he will send all 12 members of the Air Force, armed with "the absolute best compound bows Canadian dollors can buy" to shoot down the intruder. He is really serious about not wanting to be protected should a nuclear missile find its way to the Great Northern Blight. "As a sovereign nation, we have a right to choose nuclear winter to the more politically objectionable missile defense.



BTW: I am fine with Canadians. My soon-to-be brother-in-law is Canadian. Yet, I find Canadian politicians amusing.
