ALEXANDER BAY, NY - The US Congress passed legislation today that ended a Government shutdown that started Saturday when Congress could not agree to a stopgap funding bill.
The agreement came just as the Canadian Military was amassed along the long and generally unprotected border between the US and Canada.
Canadian PM Trudeau stated he felt that the shutdown United States would be the best moment for a Canadian invasion. With no funding, the US military would have been helpless to defend the US and be forced to concede to a military from a nation that is capable of passing a budget.
While the Canadian troops have backed away from the border, they still remain within 25 to 50 miles. The Prime Minister notes that he is ready to 'seize the moment' once this next stopgap bill expires on February 8th.
