Can the US be a Canadian territory?

Obviously we aren't making it as a nation.

If we were Canadian we wouldn't have to worry

Ah, here's good advice, silence your phone.

Stop watching football. Want to detoxify?

Just induce vomiting red, white and blue.

Oh Canada, like a compass, we turn to you.
