still has that 'new country' smell too . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You can send back our defectors now. We will welcome them with open arms.
Where is my tuque?

That's "toque" in Canadian.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

Thank you, Winnipeg, for that radio station I used to listen to when I lived in Grand Forks, ND. You did a better job of covering the important news in my country than the U.S. news outlets available to me. And since this period of my life coincided with your own constitutional crisis (Quebec), thanks for keeping me informed about that, as well. We heard fuck all about it down here.

Thank you, Canadia, for a mythical place to run away to. I;m grown up now, I know you don;t exist, but you got me through hard times.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
