It was announced today that Canada is now prepared to help the United<BR>States in its war against terrorism. <BR><BR>They have promised to commit: <BR><BR>* 2 of their largest battleships <BR>* 6,000 armed troops <BR> and <BR>* 60 fighter jets. <BR><BR>However......after the exchange rate, that comes down to: <BR><BR>* a canoe <BR>* 2 Mounties <BR> and <BR>* a flying squirrel.<BR>

Thats cute!!!

LOL! a flying squirrel!<BR>What about Bullwinkle?

Thank you ET! Hope you're not working in a bank

The way I heard it, the Canadian Army planned to loan us their tanks - both of them.

Assuming this is a serious posting, Prime Minister Chretien has supported the war on terror since day 1.

Jack - What on earth made you think this was a serious posting?

Most likely it was the mention of Bullwinkel

LMAO and not just at the original post either!

Never underestimate the power of a flying squirrel.<BR><BR>The last one we unleased on the US had millions mesmerised on their couches.<BR><BR>If we sent out one over Iraq, it could destabilise their entire army ( which have never seen anything remotely funny on their TVs).<BR><BR>Now if we added a moose, Turkey would not even notice if US troops were there.

Natasha and Boris could come in and &quot;make them talk&quot; once we have prisoners!

Perhaps I was mistaken in thinking that the forum existed to share thoughts and information on travel-related topics not politics and the lack of support of US policies by Canada's PM.

No-this forum exists for entertainment purposes only. If we can not BE traveling, we can entertain ourselves by talking about travel. Or squirrels and moose .<BR>With things happening in this world that are very 'heavy' and 'serious', we all need a chance to 'lighten' up
