Been checking that NotAlwaysRight link, now I understand why a 'North American Union' and a 'amero' type currency is a good idea..

However, it's pretty jarring to see how it seems that a portion of people in the USA are not aware of geography or are even aware of there being a Canada at all. Hope it's not a widespread phenomenon.
Another thought...those clueless people might just be the next group of people targeted by game companies to increase sales, a few years from now..

Unless the site is just fictional as well as satirical of course.

You guys seem to be confusing "guy gets used to carrying item after two decades, feels vulnerable when he doesn't have it" with "guy lusts for violence"

You could be right
But you could have also overlooked the instinct to go for your gun after having been asked a simple question. There's vigilant, and then there's paranoid. Paranoid is going to get someone shot

Eh... the big thing is that he anticipated armed aggression from a pair of strangers who were probably just trying to be social. The fact that he would have responded in kind isn't so bad.

Then again, maybe all it would take is one of these guys reaching into their pockets to send this cop into shoot-to-kill mode.

He was probably just exaggerating after the fact, when the even actually occurred, they probably just set him on edge for whatever reason.  Quaffing around after the fact, he decided to sound like John Wayne 'cause he thinks that's cool.

or maybe he just talks like that.  entire regions of the country do.  and they aren't even necessarily christian.

No. If someone says "thank the Lord Jesus Christ" in normal conversation, they're Christian. 99% confidence.

What is the relevance of this man's religion?

Beware the Maple Terror!



Remember the Aroostook War!

Beware the Maple Terror!

In fairness, the last time we tried to invade Canada, they did kick our asses all the way back to Washington D.C., sacked the capitol, and went home.

Also, Canada should make that image their official flag.

To be fair the British burned DC, they had real pros, crack troops over from the Peninsular War.  1812 was a bloody disaster as far as the early land engagements, but it did lay the groundwork for an actual professional US Army. 


Anyway I saw Royal Canadian Moose Cavalry flip an M1A2 over with it antlers once, it was on the internet.

I read an update about this. Apparently the two guys were giving out free tickets to the Stampede.

Well that just makes it all the more paranoid.

I dunno they might have been kinda sketchy, like some of those door to door folks selling mags.

I leap over my couch with my fingers and eyes peering over the edge waiting for them to leave


I did come across this which does make more sense

“What concerned me is two young men just approached us and stopped us, stopping us by being in our path, and [began] talking to us without even being welcome to talk to us. They just took it upon themselves to yell at us.”

Park paths aren't 4-lane highways, and conversation doesn't require an invitation. And considering everything else stupid this guy has said, I'm skeptical about the claim that they were yelling or, as the original spiel put it, talking in an aggressive tone.
