    Only a third? “Believe may” is a very low bar. It’s like people who have “considered leaving” their job on the past year, because if you ever had a passing thought like “it might be nice to work there” you fall into that category.

    What I’m saying is that this poll is useless and the article is a non-story.

      You’re wrong saying that it’s a non-story. If you’d asked the question ten years ago, it wouldn’t be a third. The news is that this possibility has been born. That’s big news.

        The movie Meet The Robinsons cane out in 2007 and takes place in 2037. In that movie, Canada is called North Montana. I remember telling my sister about it and her saying that was ridiculous because there was basically zero chance Canada and the US would go to war within 30 years. It was seemingly completely unfeasible. Now it seems like a real possibility

      Also I really do not see the US invading canada. It’s too large, it’s like invading russia.

        Its large but the Canadians are mostly concentrated in pockets near the border.
