It makes you nervous if you're a Canadian. We are well aware that we have the most dangerous military power in the world on our southern border, and that we could do precious little about it if they decided to occupy us at some point for our "protection".

No doubt about what that would mean...an end to our own democratic freedoms and independence (as well as that of Americans) and an end to all we have hoped for and worked for in this country over the last couple of hundred years.
