+ The US should invade and conquer Canada

JFK once said that America does difficult things "not because they are easy, but because they are hard". While it sounds nice, like much of what JFK said, this is an obviously moronic statement. Why ever take the more difficult path, just because it's more difficult? There you have the first reason I would support an invasion of Canada.. because it would be easy. Unlike say, Iraq, Canada is geographically close so we need not expend energy resources to move our troops there. Second, we have already convinced them to send their army to the Middle East, so our army will encounter little resistance. Second, just like Iraq, Canada is full of useful energy resources ripe for American consumption. We can therefore solve our energy crisis while demonstrating our martial superiority and boosting our military industry. For years our Alaskan citizens have had to travel through foreign lands to visit friends and relatives.. yet another problem solved by an annexation of Canada. Finally, many of are sick of hearing complaints about how Canada gives "free" healthcare to its citizens. If Canada was a colony of the US, we could simply send our sick people up there to be treated for "free" and return safe. We can also use it as a penal colony to easy our overcrowded prisons. And many of us detest the idea that the British queen still maintains sovereignty over land in our hemisphere.So many reasons to invade.. and practically none to hold us back. Some times a course of action is so obvious that thinking people see right through it. This appears to be one of those times. An invasion of Canada would be easy, cheap and would benefit us in multiple ways.. so lets rally the troops!
