Well if it's a secret they're obviously going to deny it.

Maybe they got confused after playing Fallout 3, and thought our invasion of Canada to secure Alaska from the Chinese was a real threat?

Maybe you guys should have let us pass through!

Not so fast...

It seems someone is stealing Canada one bit at a time:

All I'm saying to the Canadians is, if you see someone in a sombrero or someone who looks like a "tourist" from the US, watch out for your your holdings...

So, we should revel in our illegal visitors, because they're really just passing through on the way north?

COOL!

It is a sneaky ploy to try and lull the Canadian military into a false sense of security.

Hate to tell ya, but yeah, we do have a plan on invading Canada. We have such a plan for every country in the world. It is called contingency planning and we have entire units that do nothing but this type of planning.

Of course having a contingency plan does not mean that we ever hope to implement it. But the plan is there and updated.

Don't most of those plans detail what went wrong during any previous attempts to invade? That'd sure make some interesting reading!

I want to see the Canadian contingency plan.
What went wrong: Didn't starve the population.
What needs doing: Steal all the maple syrup.

Yeah and don't put your troops on a death march across Maine and expect the survivors to do the job you sent them to do.

Nobody said that they US won't invade. The speaker just said that that there are no secret plans - which are not needed because the plan's already out in the open:http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/139580
