Protecting us???? They only thing they have ever protected is their own 
interests.  The only nation that has ever invaded Canada is the US.... 
several times.

They have already invaded Canada and Mexico.  They had better luck with 
Mexico. In Texas and in California, Americans settlers rebelled against 
the Mexican government. the Texans declared themselves an independent 
republic. The US had troops occupying Los Angeles, but made claim to all 
of California. Then the went to war with Mexico because it would not 
agree to sell the land between California and Texas.... Arizona, Nevada 
and New Mexico, and they settled the war by paying what they had first 
offered. It is a lot like negotiating with the Mafia.
