It should be pointed out that the ONLY time that the United States has been successfully invaded, it was by a bunch of rag-tag Canadians, acting on behalf of that so-called runaway British government, and one of their exploits was to burn the White House to the ground! for further details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812 particularly the third paragraph. Further to your comments about the control of the St. Lawrence Seaway [note correct spelling!], control of the Seaway falls to the International Joint Commission, which is made up of an equal number of US and Canadian members. In the interests of brevity, and to prevent the possibility of my being banned from the list, I will end my comments here.
