I keep telling people that the only thing unrealistic about the movie “Pacific Rim” is that Canadians weren’t featured among the Jaeger pilots. That’s because Canada’s entry would drastically shorten the movie. Give two little old ladies from Drumheller an old sock with a rock in it, and the kaiju war is OVER.
Hey, the last time I was in Drumheller, I met those two little old ladies. The way they were glancing at the “World’s Biggest T. Rex” in the middle of town, it was only safe if it didn’t move.
CSIS- a real spy group. We don’t even know they exist! Because like you pointed out, they are actually secretive. Imagine that, secretive! Not loudmouthed!
This is spot on, eh. Just prior to WWI the major concern of the U.S. military was...the British empire. We were still obsessed with the idea that Britain wanted her rebellious colonies back. So War Plan Red was devised. Long story short, a preemptive invasion of Canada was central to said plan. After the Canadians got word of this, Canadian Army Lt. Colonel James "Buster" Brown designed Defense Scheme NO.1, a preemptive invasion of the major population centers of the northern U.S.A. Unbeknownst to him, his plan, which leaned heavily on British military backing, was not anything the Brits were interested in. Luckily, Kaiser Wilhelm intervened in a timely fashion...
Who had that on their 2024 bingo card? It's a wild year and were only about half done, Canadian occupation could certainly show up. Don't worry, we'll bring beer.
You laugh, but I’m just one of a multitude of Canadian anchor babies awaiting the signal from Ottawa. William Shatner emphasizes just the right syllable in a Priceline ad, and America will be ours within the hour.
And we’ll all be riding trained war pikas. Any Americans who give us grief get turned over to the pikas to be dragged back to their burrows and parasitically impregnated with hundreds of pika larvae. That’s payback for decades of “oot” jokes.

😆The specificity of the age of the sock and rock had me cackling. It would indeed have been a short film in that scenario.

It's a wild concept but it's been working out quite well for them so far! haha

Wow, thanks for the added history tidbits Ian, that's awesome. :)
“It’s not a War Crime, the first time”. Hahaha
😆It certainly is now, and probably rightfully so.
Being occupied by Canada? That’s just as plausible as any other friggon thing we wake up every morning.

🍺? By all means, come on down.
And pot?

Whoops! I blew it. That all actually happen in the Interwar Period (which I think makes it more significant).
This is hilarious. Thx for lifting my mood this morning.
Aww thank you so much CK! I'm glad you had a giggly start to your day. :)
What a way to start the day dipping into the real Canada
Yes, it's the less syrupy sweet side that we don't put on the PR posters hehe
I’m very grateful to be Canadian.
Samesies :)
Don’t mess with the beaver
Haha! Fun sharing! You crazy vicious & polite Canucks!
I had not heard the shipping of wolves story. Sadly, next will be open season on them. Man should cull each other & leave the animals alone!
Thanks Zara! That's us, insanely polite....or insane and polite. I always get those two mixed up.
Don’t forget the genocide that Canada engaged in against its aboriginal/native inhabitants.
We don't. But this is a humor post, so there's that.
I always thought Canadians were dark because of the mistreatment of their French fries
😆😆😆 This had me cackling Charles. I'm not going to be able to look at poutine in the eyes again.
Are you the one who's starting all these forest fires? 🤔
Nah, I'm nowhere close to there. I just start fires in the internet.
I never tangle with Canadians, I am half-Canadian by Mom's side (Manitoba) . I love Canada!
Ah so you're only half syrupy-covered evil then.
Evil?
Ya, half evil, because you're half Canadian. We're surprisingly evil. Grrr! (that's a believable grr right?)
Don't forget, we will force our opponents to eat Poutine!
