The last person I saw order one did so at the Yard. He was the enforcer for Trigger's gang and was off to beat someone to death. Fortunately the beer doesn't do that to everyone.

The US wouldn't invade a country with WMD's that have enough range to target the US (and therefore Canada) because they're too worried whoever has them would launch them anyway in the event of an invasion.

I seem to remember that Iraq was alleged to have had missiles capable of reaching Cyprus at best, nowhere near the UK or North America. Then I was told that these WMD's are threatening our 'ally' Israel, so why didn't Israel invade Iraq instead?

Absolutely nothing, its Friday

I'm sure its a nice place, but I live in the GTA
If I tried it in Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, nobody would care or notice
Anything east of Quebec is to small to waste a nuke on
At least somebody will notice if you think about removing Calgary from the map

I first targeted Toronto because it's the Canadian city I know best.

Only after that did I take out downtown Calgary and plop an asteroid down on the oil sands.

Ya know, an asteroid on Toronto would solve a lot of problems....
