How hard

Would it be for Canada to assimilate, oh, 100,000,000 people over a few year? Saskatchewan went from 91,279 people in 1901 to 492,432 in 1911 and going from 40,000,000 to 140,000,000 is a proportionately smaller jump.

Could be tricky explaining to newcomers why there are Leafs fans.

Is it time for the Canadian Army to dust off its invasion plans?

I would be willing to say Gilles Villeneuve was a better driver than Ayrton Senna. I'd even watch curling on TV.

Would you be willing to change (or pick?) hockey allegiance?

I'm open to the idea. Probably best to wait until I know whether the liberating forces will allow us to keep our existing hockey infrastructure (such as it is, I live pretty far south) or establish an entirely new league.

I'm only a hockey fan-by-marriage, so I don't particularly have a horse in this race. But I'd be there to watch the bun fights that would occur over a new league. I want them to all have fabulous names, like the Kraken do.
