Canada 51st state after London falls

Then how come everytime I go to the states, everyone there seems to be speaking Spanish?
Illegal immigration……

Whoa boys, this is getting WAY too close to a political discussion!  Please reign it in.  (Right now I choose to see it as a discussion on language, but the word “illegal” is there and laws are created by politicians which is inherently political and that is not allowed on the boards.)

Now for a joke, in the same vein:  Why can’t Mexico win the Olympics?  Because every Mexican that can run, jump or swim is in the United States! (in a non-political capacity, of course!)

Not meant to be racist!  I have quite a few friends from the other land down under and I know them to be hard working, fine, upstanding citizens who vote every election and follow all the local laws and ordinances - despite being good people! (Hey, most good people need to rebel a little!  I never drive the speed limit!!!)

Ah it’s realy strange because I saw a lot of bad comments about french during the last few months and I never seen moderator comments.

I think a clarification.  No Americans politics.  I’m sure the finer points of Canadian (or lesser species…tongue firmly in cheek) political discourse would just put non-Canadians to sleep and make Canadians glassy eyed.

Now speaking of politics.  Just an observation.  Squabbling that causes Canada to consider shipping vast amounts of fossil fuels to China rather than the XL pipeline going to Texas has got to be bad for a nation and makes both parties…excuse the pun…look terrible.

Canada conquest of the US scenario #1

US money ends up in China via Walmart, Canadian oil ends up in China  in exchange for copious amounts of US dollars.  Canada taking advantage of cheap US real estate prices peacefully purchases the US piece by piece with the aid of the strong Canadian banking sector that has…like a virus…been surreptitiously inserting itself into the US for years.

We’re talking about the people of France, not an internal political flirtation about the legality of illegal aliens in the United States.  Not saying it has devolved to that point, but it’s risking it and I’d rather point out the risk than have to be “heavy handed.”

I got no problems with the Canadians.  They seem pretty cool to me.  After all, FMG is in Canada and they are providing us with some of the highest detailed, most historically accurate gaming pieces ever made, not to mention very sharp looking combat dice.  So, if it is our destiny to be ruled by Canada, so be it.  The only thing I fear is getting mayonaise on my cheesburgers.  YUCK!

@Vance:

We also mayo on our fries.

Try tartar sauce, it’s better than Mayo, in my opinion.

You know, with how ridiculously easy it is to get India and England now, I think as each one falls all territories should report to Toronto.  They lose the treasuries, of course, but after that, all income goes to Toronto from then on.

BLAH!  Don’t care for tartar sauce either.  I suppose I could go with Miracle Whip.

If Canada became their own power after London falls, why would they need to place units in the Western USA IC?  They have one of their own in Quebec.  I know it’s a minor, but they will only be making 7 IPCs per turn so they can’t build that many units anyway.
In South Africa, there were some elements that were actually for Germany.  I read somewhere that they wanted South Africa to become neutral, thus closing off a vital naval port to Britain.  Obviously they lost that vote, but I’m just saying if London falls, perhaps South Africa could become another Neutral state, perhaps even Pro-Axis.  Still don’t know what to do with the rest of the British possessions in Africa after London falls though.  I guess they will just sit there unmanned until some Italians manage to roll down and take them.

Make British Columbia worth 2 IPC and they can build a complex there. :P

I think only the French-Canadians use mayo on fries.  Me, I like malt vinegar.  But when I was in Holland for work, the guys at Heineken thought I was weird for making a sandwich and using mayo.  I asked what they use the mayo for if not for making sandwiches.  They replied “With our fries of course!”.  I guess it’s kind of a European thing too.  We had free mayo for the fries but had to pay for ketchup at macdonalds, half a guilder if I recall, before the Euro was a currency you could hold anyways.

@Vance:

Canada 51st state after London falls  […]  Nevertheless I want to float the idea that if London falls in Global 1940, the Canadian territories (7 IPCs total) should immediately come under control of the USA and the Americans would get that income (which they kind of do in real life actually).  It would be historically accurate.

Canada would actually become the 49th state, not the 51st, because the U.S. only had 48 states during WWII.  Hawaii and Alaska became states after the war.

(Sidenote - The US would become the 10th province or the 3rd territory. Thanks for the correction!)

wait the US isnt a protectorate of canada yet!  :-o

_I think only the French-Canadians use mayo on fries. _
Another urban legend….completly false.
It’s a matter of taste not a matter of origins.
