...You British REALLY grow good quality stuff.

Resource-rich as Canada is (and it is - oil-rich AND water-rich AND food-rich - a rare combination), it still has too tiny a population.

THE TICK WAS RIGHT! Damn you, Anne, the tiny meteorite full of aliens causing Canada to conquer the world in Word War III!

Where's this "Canda"?

We've had too many stupid leaders since WWII to ever become great again. SERIOUSLY, WHY RETIRE THE AVRO ARROW PROJECT?!?

Isn't Canada already a great power? I don't see them advancing much towards superpower, especially with the ever-increasing qualifications for that title.

There is only one qualification for superpower. You must equal or exceed the US in military power. There are two things that Canada can beat us in, and that's not it. (Those two things are health care and hockey)

I hope not. I really do. Personally, I believe that when you're a powerful nation, people are going to start gunning for you, especially when a particularly stupid leader gets elected, which is inevitable. I'm fine with being overlooked and I can ignore the stereotypical Canadian jokes because we don't have bombs dropped on us on any regular basis.

Somehow, moving to Canada is looking more and more relevant to my interests each and every day.

Of course you know Canada kept a copy of those plans for safe keeping even though the USA told us to destroy it. Mach 2 planes 45 years ago for Canada, USA still using f-18s :P

We've moved up to the F-22, thank you very much. :-p

And the F-35.

F, in this case, stands for FAILURE.

(Seriously, the F-35 is one of the most overpriced, not particularly great jet ever)
