try it kittyhorse. just TRY it.

maybe to protect "the largest undefended border" in the world we should move some rednecks up there.

[KrazyHorse]

You already did. Remember Minnesota?

Anyhoo, we don't really want the US. Too dity and overpopulated. You're to us what India is to you.

We don't need to invade with force. We'll take over through TV... The CBS evening news, with Harvey Kirck.

Meet the Press with Don Newman...

Crossfire! With Dalton Camp from the right and Barbara Frum from the left...

Actually, since the Atlantic Charter, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand almost act as one on military issues. We should continue the close relationship.

This implies that the four of us coordinate on equipping our armed services so that we do not duplicate efforts and have the same ammo, etc.

What are you talking about Ned?

The only Atlantic Charter I know is the one signed during WWII, but that certainly didn't extend past the war or require Canada and the US to act as one on military issues, let alone use the same logistics.

I'm not saying the Atlantic charter is still in force. But since that date, the UK and the US have largely been on the same page. The "special relationship" between Roosevelt and Churchill endures.

It also seems that Australia, more than not, fights side by side with the US. I also believe Canada and the United State cooperated extensively during the cold war.

I'm just suggest that we build on these many decades of close cooperation and take it to the next level and try to standardize equipment, etc.
