How about a compromise? We'll keep our guns and sports, the Crown can have all our lawyers and politicians.

Just an interesting aside about Americans and invading forces, most don't know the Germans landed in the Aleutian Islands during WWII. By the time the U.S. Army got there, there were no survivors. Ever heard of the Alaska Guard? No, not the Alaska National Guard.

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Habor?" -- Bluto in Animal House.

I think you mean the Japanese, not the Germans, who invaded Attu and Kiska Islands in the Aleutian Islands, and bombed Dutch Harbor in 1942-43. Kiska saw a joint US-Canadian landing force come ashore, only to find the Japanese gone; however Attu was anything but bloodless.

Interestingly, it was an Arkansas National Guard unit that defended Dutch Harbor in 1942 against Japanese air raids:

I always have the wrong book on the wrong subject at the wrong time: reading about the Flying Tigers.
