What we were doing was sending troops to help out mother england when she invaded turkey. Why England invaded Turkey is a whole other question, the answer to which I have no idea. But I agree, Australia and Canada are about as likely to start a war between each other as Israel is to end one with any of it's neighbours (baring a win to either side).

As for the actual question being asked: it's easy. neither country has an offensively based military, so whoever invaded would get their ass handed to them (and the home side always has the advantage anyway). Both Australias and Canadas military are capable only of defending their own homeland (and what else do you really need unless you want to be boss of the world like america), and sending a few troops off every now and then so the USA can say their military campaigns are actually United Nations type events.

ps. anyone invading australia would have a b^$%^ of a time. The thing in WW2 when the japs were coming south was, our army drew inland, meaning the japanese were free to land, and god help them from the wildlife if they did, lol. The environment here is our biggest weapon

Actually we have 31 million inhabitants. [img]tongue.gif[/img] A war between Canada and Australia? Let´s see... Any Australian invasion force would freeze to death up here and any Canadian invasion force would die from heat stroke in Australisa. Smells like a stale mate to me.

G'day
(Guess wich side that greeting puts me on?)
Australia would invade canada if someone told them to. we don't start wars just provide cannon fodder. And without a doubt we would kick them wannabee frogees all over the show...... UNTILL the world cup of whatever came on tv and we would surrender so has to get home in time to watch AUSTRALIA conquer the world.
over a cold beer.



But this begs the question as to why does US popular culture (films) never show Australia helping out in Vietnam? or do they get taught it was the US on their own at school over there?

You are forgetting about NATO. If Australia attacks Canada not only the U.S. but all its members MUST defend them. This means 19 countries including US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and yes, Turkey (seeking revenge) against Australia, its 20 millions of inhabitants, its army of kangaroos and its professional sports.

Cool movie filmed in Australia: The Matrix . . .

Cool movie filmed in Canada: Due South (which later beccame a TV series, episode 1 was 2 hours long and hence a movie in itself)

Meat Products Popularly Associated with Australia: Steaks from the Outback Steak House

Meat Products Popularly Associated with Canada: Canadian Bacon

Aussie Hello: G'day

Canadian Hello: Bon Juor (spelling on that one?)

More easily spelled hello word goes without contest to "G'day" [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Barren and lifeless Territories of Australia: The Outback

Barren and lifeless Territories of Canada: Everything above the north pole

Trademark Natural Landmarks of Australia: Ayers Rock (load that thing into a catapult and you've won the war)

Canadian Natural Landmark: Trees and Moose (these are what would innevitably be crushed by a flying ayers rock)

ALRIGHT and so the winner is:

LMAO! [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] That's a nice serious answer there

Rhetorical question. Our, [ahem] 'titular' ruler would sail across and spank both our asses and send us to bed without milk and cookies. Failing that, she would arrange for half the British budget to be allocated for the national cricket team and give the rest to Canada to fund a strike team to regain that urn when the first plan innevitably fails.

A flying Ayers Rock would look pretty cool though. And just think, we would've already established tourist revenue in captured territory! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

[Edit: Oh, Davros. 'Constitutional' looks much better in print than [suppresses juvenile snigger] 'titular'.]

Deathkiller, i don't know where you gather your information, but whereever it's from, throw it away. Tiesto is NOT from Australia, he's from Holland, Breda to be exact.
