- Canada is the only country in the entire world to ever defeat America
- more than once (and not by a little bit, either; they whipped our butts).
-
- They're also just about the only country in either of the Americas whom
- we haven't managed to invade (succesfully). We took half of Mexico,
- we partitioned Columbia, landed marines just about everywhere, and even
- controlled Cuba, but we've never managed to do anything to Canada.
