The Young Canadian Sailor

One week. It takes about one week from walking in a recruiting office to
starting Basic training. IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

Not just that: If I were to walk over to the US Consulate, I could fill out
the forms for a Greencard, then take a bus to Buffalo, and start a military
career in less than a month.

I can't say it isn't tempting, especially considering the horrible job I'm
going to have to take to pay the bills until the Canadian Forces get back to
me...

But I can't. Damn it, I'm a Canadian.

Of course, so are the Barenaked Ladies...
