I read somewhere just now where someone posited that it can be ascertained as fact that the US is not an imperialist nation simply because we have not occupied and/or annexed Canada. They said that we have world's greatest military and they have... Celine Dion.

I put forth that Celine Dion is EXACTLY the reason we have not overrun Canada all the way to the North Pole.

What say you, TWW?

We haven't overrun Canada because the French Canadians are hella feisty, and no one wants to deal with them.

But just because we haven't attacked Canada doesn't mean US isn't an imperialistic power

^^^ Don't you go using logic in this thread. This is about Celine Dion and her French Canadian ilk that serve as the greatest deterrent the world has ever seen. Forget MAD.

soft imperialism is pretty common, it happens when a rich country trades with a poor one. so what. cultural imperialism is almost the same way, if your culture isn't strong enough to withstand strong outside influences without retaining it's core then so what.

shit evolves people. culture, trade, etc. it all changes.

military imperialism is mostly a antiquated term. but is subtly implied by the overuse of "imperialism(istic)"

Thanks to this, I am imagining poor Canada constantly being humped by Ms. Dion.

I'd say that's accurate.
