Once upon a time there were some bad corporatists. Through hocus-pocus, hoodwinking and hokum in the Age of Humans, they ended up with Ronald Reagan. He had an Irish friend, Brian Mulroney, the Prime Minister of Canada. Together, these two (along with Margaret Thatcher in the UK) bestowed more bunkum, like NAFTA.
Meanwhile,... [skip to 2009] ... the missile defense shield rains its misery on the people of NATO lands.
"How handy would it be?!" exclaimed the bad corporatists, "if we could steal Canada! It has diamonds, oil, few people, agricultural land."
At the drawing board, they devised a VERY BIG PLAN. First, let's blow up something in New York. And so it came to pass that little Blackwater soldiers peppered the lands of Canada with CIA salt.
"Now that that idiot Harper signed everything (ha! without asking Canadians!), all we need is a national emergency to tromp those stupid Canadians! Then, finally, we won't have to dick around with permissions for Alaska pipelines, etc!"
The advertising guy said, "We'll start talking energy independence, right away."
Luckily, there was a flu virus going around. The word 'terrorist' popped up in Dawson Creek, BC. Everyone was already unsettled about the economy.
