Worse than the NAFTA superhighway and U.S. capitulation

This is about Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, from Frommer's Guide:

Bald eagles have become so plentiful around the lake that they are exported to the United States to restock natural habitats.

Z. September 4, 2009 at 1:26 pm: I’m sorry, maybe I’m a bit slow today, but I don’t get the “NAFTA superhighway and U.S. capitulation” reference. Can someone enlighten me?
Brian Moore September 4, 2009 at 2:32 pm: Obviously we need to invade and claim this vital natural resource. What’s America without bald eagles? Should have gone with Franklin’s damn turkey.

Plus, we’re 0-1 with Canada on wars, gotta even up the series.

Doc Merlin September 4, 2009 at 6:57 pm: BKarn is correct, we are 0 and 2 with Canada.
Brian Moore September 5, 2009 at 12:03 pm: See, the Canadians beat us so badly that upstanding Americans like me can’t even count properly any more! And they’ve stolen our eagles.

I think they beat us in the South Park movie too.
