A War Protester with the perfect energy policy...


Canada, our feckless neighbor to the north, has the world's 2nd largest oil reserves (when you count the oil sands in Alberta). Canada's population is 33 million, a little more than 10% of that of the United States. Their military? Dwarfed by the size of just our National Guard. What am I suggesting? You got it! And a quarter of Canada's population resides in Quebec, a french speaking province: we can thus expect immediate capitulation and surrender by the Quebecers. The rest of Canada? We could probably take Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver in 36 hours; we'd basically control the country at that point, and all the oil sands!! More importantly, the playbook for the invasion has already been written, and by a notorious anti-war liberal! How ironic! I suggest "Operation Great White North" begin on July 1st (Canada Day, the Canucks' version of our July 4th). Nobody ever expects to be invaded on a national holiday, and best yet, it falls on a weekend this year!
