Of course they are, they live next to America. Canada has to do something to defend itself, and Raccoon SuperSoldiers wasn't the WORST idea that was suggested.
Ive never seen any evidence that would prove Canada isnt building a mutant army of super racoon's.
'The New Zealand government adds fluoride to water supplies to dim the minds of ordinary New Zealanders and make them easier to control'
...yeah I don't think the flouride is really necessary at this stage even if that was a real thing.
PFt, the super raccoons are just the tip of the iceberg.
You know that pre-fab construction stuff Carney's constantly talking about, and we're investing billions in? Super intelligent beavers. And we've almost perfected the Canadian Geese mixture to maximize their ability to shit on things, and that hiss they do isn't just for show, we've crossed them with venomous snakes.
Australia's platypus program is goin down. Try not to get caught in the cross fire.
Pfffff.
Those idiots think Canada is real.
Wake up sheeple.
Can confirm. The raccoons are almost ready for deployment after the Canada Goose Air Wing gets their feather grown in after spring
But, but but...
We don't exist on the world stage (or at least we hope that we will be forgotten about when the world eats it self), how can we believe that a bunch of dumpster diving rodents, that are lower than our hated possum, are capable of being trained by any North American
Sorry what???
Canadian here, I've never heard of this till now.
Yeah, me neither (wink).
That sounds like something a Canadian would say.
Flappin’ heads all full of lies
Yeah, it sounds like they kept it under wraps for a very long time.
Damn. Did I miss a survey to have fun with?
Ok but seriously, when controlling for people being trolls or believing anything they still got 15% of people believing a government conspiracy to cover up aliens visiting earth?
There's a very common belief that an alien spacecraft crashed in the states back in the fifties, or even that the US government restored it to working order and flew it.
I suspect this belief was encouraged by the government at the time, but it's a very common belief.
But we have proof.
I guess I just thought, or at least hoped, that it was a US thing.
It's honestly not the dumbest thing someone could believe, not by a long shot.
It's so hilariously absurd that I'd definitely tick that box whilst chuckling to myself
I can say with certainty that we are not in fact training raccoons to do anything other than burn down the white house... you know, just in case we gotta go south and do it again.
