This just in: The U.S. and Canuckistan may be headed for war...

It was another tense day in Bellingham, Washington, whose Costco has become exceedingly popular with Canadian shoppers to the dismay of locals who are claiming "gridlock" in the aisles. The store's proximity to the Canadian border means Canadian shoppers need only to drive 21 miles south to take advantage of the exchange rate and lower sales tax.

Angry citizens of Bellingham have even created a Facebook page, "Bellingham Costco Needs a Special Time Just for Americans" which has received more than 3,000 "Likes." An opponent of the Americans-only plan wrote on the page, "Not only are you giving Costco a bad name, but the entire town of Bellingham. Just be happy your town is busy. There are a lot of places around America that would do anything for patrons to visit their businesses."

Good point. Another user offered this proactive peacemaking suggestion: If Costco's so popular, how about it open another location? That way there will surely be enough giant jars of mayonnaise and pallets of cat litter for everyone.

Another good point. But the City of Bellingham and Costco have not commented on either proposal, thus adding to the frustration of both factions. Meanwhile, the situation not only deteriorates, but tempers run higher day by day, if not hour by hour.

I hate to say it, but there is a real danger of eruption of violence here. Put a volatile issue before people who on both sides have had their brains frozen to mush and who have a long history of moose poaching on the American side and...there is no delicate way of saying this...but moose molestation on the Canadian side, and...well, do I need to say more?

We'll have phlegm at eleven.

When you create trillions of dollars out of thin air (Quantitative Easing, anyone?), is it any surprise that the value of the old printed out of thin air dollars goes down?

Look around......WE are becoming the banana republic. Remember when folks visited Mexico to buy the cheap booze, blankets and other crap? Foreigners are coming here to buy our cheap crap.

[rotor]fucking canadians think they own everything but are just a bunch of faggots like me[/rotor]

[Skia]

What a lame azz excuse to be bitching aboot.

[kingpin]

Costco said last night they may expand the size of the store.

[Rotorhead]

Copper wire was invented by two Canadians fighting over an American penny.

[snide]

Holy crap are some Americans stupid. We boost your economy and you piss and moan about it. I'll bet that without Canadians shopping in the Bellingham area, their town, and their retailers, including Costco, wouldn't be as prosperous...

[simpleman68]

Sheit, and I went to Cananada for years to get good Cubans when I used to smoke.

Bottom line is people that don't know how to "play well with others".

If your outlet to purchase nuclear rations is busy, then go somewhere else or buy more during you visits so you come less.

Reminds me of the mom in Cali. that pepper sprayed another mom in a fight over a feckin' toy for their spoiled finster for X-Mas.

For fat assed canadians, they'd have to move the aisles over another three feet. Five feet for the really cheap ones who have to spread their coupons out on the floor.

Yeah, without Canada we would just turn off the lights and shut down.

I saw that on the news and it's a typical case of media aggrandizing. There were just as many Americans hailing the arrival of the Canadian Bucks! They said before the exchange rate changed all the stores in the town were empty. It"s a veritable gold rush in sales and tax revenue for the state and town.
Just a few ignorant disgruntled local shoppers who can't find a parking space!

What they need is a bigger parking lot!

That sounds more like it. Why do I keep forgetting how poorly the media spins sheit for a reaction?...

Those crazy bastiges can turn a story about a visit to do volunteer work at a senior home into a necrophilia/snuff film bonanza.

It all depends on where the story comes from.
It's going to biased to one side or another.

When's the last time good news sold papers.

Viewers, it appears that the first salvo has been fired. Rest assured that this thread will contain up-to-date developments in this very tense moment. Americans, you have now officially been called "stupid" by a Canuckistani. How...and when...will you react? It has long been the Defense Department's position that a reaction should always be overwhelming force. I ask you: Is that appropriate now? If so, what should be the mode of such force? Immediate use of nuclear weapons? Massive air assault? You decide.

Damned illegal aliens coming over the border, taking all our bulk items.

There's necrophilia and snuff films going on at senior citizen's homes? I would be interested in doing a special on that. Ask your people to call my people. Ciao!
