I was under the impression that this aspect of South Park was to make fun of people who thought Canada was all that different from the U.S. Really, what is there to fear from Canada: there are far less of them than us, they come from the same cultural background as the U.S. baseline (only they were the loyalists and the U.S. folk were the rebels (revolutionaries is not exactly the right word)), they have the same 'frontier mentality' that shapes so much to the American ideal, especially in the rural areas.
Other than the fact that Canada is the only place the U.S. has ever lost ground and not regained it (north end of Maine, then part of Massachusetts), what grudge is there to hold against them?
I just don't get it. But I still think it's domed.
