Without a massive, sprawling, byzantine bureaucracy to oversee the nation's squads of ruthless killers, everyone in Canada would be speaking... idk, Muslim or something. Evil Foreigners would be all up in your business, is my point.

Meanwhile, if you weren't up to your eyeballs in debt, how would we entice you to work triple overtime at the radioactive burn pit?
