Los Angeles #70 - BFF neighbo(u)rs
You’re at some wedding in Greater LA just after the Blackout of 2003 took out a big chunk of the Northeast on both sides of the border, when the following comes up in conversation about supposed neighboring BFF countries, Canuckistan and Amerika.
“Canada is America’s invisible, steady, safe-sex partner. The Beaver’s only too happy to just bend over and take it like any good bum buddy. One day, we’ll just take the place over,” said Jock.
“That won’t happen,” said Wade.
“It’s not imaginable at this very moment, but go back almost 200 years. We attacked and invaded Canada in 1812. Then, in the 1930s, there was an attack plot—War Plan Red,” said Jock.
“OK, I’ll give you that. Canuckistan even had its own cockamamie preemptive plot to
invade south before that, in the 20s—Defence Scheme No. 1.”
“You never know how quickly close friends can become enemies, or vice versa,” said Lamont.
“Betcha there’s still some super-secret-squirrel crank Yank plan in the works under the guise of liberating Canada one day from its socialist left-wing tyranny—for water and oil. But,” said Wade, “that’s another topic altogether.”
“We’d still graciously let you keep all the hockey rinks, polar bears, maple syrup, and McKenzie brother tuques you’d need,” Jock said. “America’s munificence is unbounded.”
So whaddup with all that?
History and some obscure plans point the way.
