Can you imagine what would happen if an American squad entered into Canada and held up a border partol officer?
Nobody would notice, except for France, which would surrender. Then US Americans would start wondering where Canada was, and why they'd never heard of this state. Canada would get representation in the Senate, until somebody realized that they'd gotten Canada mixed up with Montana. Eventually, it would come out that the border patrol officer was actually an illegal immigrant from the 2004 US Presidential election.
But by that point, Comedy Central would've already made a bundle with a 24-hour "Blame Canada" marathon.
