Pt. 1[edit]

After starting the update
Brockman ...with the melting of the polar ice caps and the opening of the Northwest Passage, Canada now has a new shipping lane which will allow its international trade to increase dramatically.
Homer - Snobby See, Lisa, climate change isn't all bad. It's been good for Canada.
Lisa - Eye Roll Yes, Dad, the impending end of our existence on Earth does have a benefit for Canada. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer country.
Homer - Skeptical Pfft. They'll never be as great as America.
Lisa But, Dad, technically Canada is in America.
Homer - Confused Since when? I thought Puerto Rico was supposed to be the next state.
Lisa Canada isn't a state. It's in America the same way that Mexico is in America.
Homer - Horrified What?! Canada brought Mexico in with it? This is a geographic catastrophe of hemispheric proportions! I must report this to the local authorities.
Task: "Make Homer Resent Canada". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds.
Task: "Make Lisa Be Happy for Canada". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds.

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1
Homer - Serious Mr. Mayor, we have a problem. It's Canada.
Quimby - Annoyed Is she pregnant? It's not mine. My son and I have the same DNA, I swear.
Homer - Serious I believe you...but Canada is not a woman. It's the newest threat to our lives and livelihoods. And our newest state.
Quimby - Surprised Our newest what—?
Homer - Serious Canada has opened the Northwest Passage and that's going to jeopardize our position as the number one country in the whole world.
Quimby I, er, highly doubt that. And even if it's true, would it be so bad to be number two in the whole world?
Homer - Skeptical Name one silver medalist, ever.
Quimby - Deadpan Sure. There was that one guy, uh, what was his name again...
Homer - Serious And don't forget about the foam finger industry!
Quimby - Surprised Dear God, you're right! We can't be number two. Think of the bathroom jokes at our expense.
Homer *titters* I can't think of anything else now.
Quimby - Stern I'll call an emergency town meeting. Tell my secretary to make the necessary arrangements. And to sell all my stock in foam finger companies. Wait, what are you doing?
Patriotic Homer - Annoyed What all American patriots do when their country is at risk nowadays; dress up like Uncle Sam and yell at strangers.
Task: "Make Homer Protest Something About Canada". The job takes place at the Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice, or a Visitable Home and takes 6 seconds.
If Quimby is owned: Task: "Make Quimby Call a Town Meeting". The job takes place at the Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice, or a Visitable Home and takes 6 seconds.
Quimby - Angry People of Springfield, we are at a crossroads. Canada's Northwest Passage threatens to make it more important than the U.S.A.
Quimby - Angry Will we stand back and let Canada have its day for a change or will we stand up and fight?
Herman I say we send those commies to an early grave!
Quimby To be clear, Canadians are not communists. They're more socially liberal than us on many issues but—
Herman - Angry Send those social liberals to an early grave!
Quimby Look, in my experience, most Canadians are nice people who don't really deserve to be randomly murdered. We just need a response to their opening of the Northwest Passage.
Moe What about that land to the East of Springfield Heights?
Quimby - Confused What about it?
Moe Well, I mean...did anyone notice the other day when it suddenly changed a whole bunch? I dunno, seems kinda important is all...
Professor Frink By my calculations the area surrounding our town has been transformed, with the growing and the expanding and the new landhoiven!
Lisa - Happy New land? That sounds like it'll free up lots of space for all the buildings and decorations in town.
Grampa - Annoyed Who cares about that?
Lisa - Annoyed Don't you read the forums?!
Grampa - Annoyed No!
Quimby The six-year-old girl is right again! We shall embark on a journey and create a new passage, the NorthEAST Passage!
Lisa - Annoyed Thank you... But I'm eight.
