[ WP ] Canada and Mexico go to war , much to their dismay , most major battles are on US soil ...

The sun beat down, merciless, on a row of stony faced men. A banner depicting a red maple leaf fluttered in the wind. Horses whinnied nervously, the hot wind whipping them and their riders alike. From the row came a single rider, who gazed forlornly at the advancing Mexican infantry. He turned aboot to address his men. His immaculate red uniform and campaign hat looked starkly out of place in the desert, but he betrayed no discomfort. He cleared his throat, and began to speak. 
 
 `` Men, I shall not lie to you. The situation is desperate. We are surrounded, and reinforcements are not coming. It has been my honor to serve with such fine men as yourselves. Each of you possess a True Patriot's Love for our home and native land.'' 
 
 `` And it is for our homeland that we must now fight! For our Fathers and Mothers, Brothers and Sisters. For those in Vancouver, and Toronto, and Halifax, and Whitehorse, and for all those inbetween! Our enemies would rip all that away from us! We must show them that the True North is Strong and Free! 
 
 `` Fight now, my brothers! Fight for our way of life! Fight for Maple Syrup and the Maple Leafs! Fight for Tim Hortons and Poutine! Fight for Canada Tire and QE2! A Mari usque ad Mare! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!'' 
 
 Captain Tremblay paused, raised his saber, ready for the final charge. 
 
 `` As the American's say, Remember the Alamo, Eh?''
