    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

          • Nevermind. Bad question.

            However, Canada is certainly not short on fresh water, or forests, or minerals, or farmland, or power generation capacity.

                • You guys think small. Make each state indep, and you'll be one frikken huge voting bloc in the UNGA.

                          I'm assuming they're pulling a straight seccession, not the Canada / Jesusland dealie.

                          ...

                          I mean, do you really want a sudden influx of 130+ million people who are likely still to the right of most Canadians, with American arrogence and aggressiveness, to boot?

                            Water leprachauns, they're closely related to the Electric leprachauns Californians think electricty comes from. No one has the heart to tell them electricity comes from electrical power plants.

                              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                              • and don't forget the natural gas leprachauns, though I suppose they're not as well known down in SoCal.
