Referring, of course, to the USS Enterprise, captained by William Shatner (Canadian) and nursed to previously unheard-of warp speeds by James Doohan (Canadian).

I thought I mentioned Shatner. Didn't I? Maybe he was just an unnamed member of the shock troops.

No, the only people you actually named were Shania Twain and Ricardo Montalban, and I didn't realise the latter was a Canadian either...
This leads to the delightful observation that BOTH the lead hero AND the lead villain in the best Star Trek movie were played by Canadians. Excellent!

No, no, no! Ricardo Montalban is Mexican. The point was that those two soldiers of the Canadian-Mexican coalition would meet when the armies joined up for the end of the conquest. But then, I guess Shatner and Montalban have already closed those ranks on the bridge of the Enterprise. Hmm. . .
