If I were a country with a lot of oil right next to the USA, I'd be nervous.
We had a discussion back in 1812, and what was that all about -- beaver pelts?

Why did the Canadian cross the road?
To get to the middle.

At the ski area out-of-bounds marker
In America:
We will pull your ticket!
We will prosecute you!
We will shoot you!
In Canada:
We're not coming to look for you!

If a country is so dependent on oil that it considers invading another country for more oil, then it needs to give serious thought to ways of reducing that dependency.

Canada won that so-called war.

Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.

Hey, the sign may say they won't come looking for out of bounds nitwits but in reality- they will get a search...

If there is an out of bounds sign:
Americans will cross it, just because,
Canadians will respect the sign,
Québécois will cross it just to show whoever put the sign there.

I don't cross those out-of-bounds markers. My avalanche strategy is primarily focused on avoiding them.
1. I appreciate the efforts made by the patrol to help keep my save.
2. No amount of powder is worth risking someone else's life coming to look for me
3. I'm American

Oh and some of y'all south of the border have no sense of humour... The poor Brits who twittered about the anniversary of the White House burning down...and then had to apologize? So sad. The sparklers were cute!

 , very accurate.
As for Davinci...you forgot to mention the part in America where a relative of yours sues the State for millions cause you lack foresight.
...wait...are we just going to hang here or go hiking?
