Proud Canuck

Anti Amercan sentiment has been around since at least the 1860's. Sir John A MacDonald once said "We will have no truck nor trade with the Yankees." At the time he made this quote the Conservative government was responding to Liberal accusations that the Conservatives were going to sign a trade agreement with the United States that would remove Britain as Canadas chief trading partner. The MacDonald Conservatives were also afraid of American expansionist policies. They saw the American westward migration as a threat to Canadian ambitions in Ruperts Land (now Manitoba, Albert and Saskatchewan). To counter this threat they hired American William Van Horne to buil the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The problem with the North American Union is not the merging of the countries. In the North American Union we move to a corporatized state. This is Fascism. They want to create a new North America with centralized fascist control. We have already moved to a "corporate state". It is called the Military Industrial Complex and one of its best citizens is Dick Cheney. Cheney was the chairman of Haliburton before he became Vice President!Haliburton is a conglomerate of companies that make everything from MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) to guided missle and missle defence systems. George W. Bush was an unsuccessful Texas oilman before he was introduced to Dick Cheney!

:angry: "Unfortunately, we have many more legitimate reasons for feeling a little petulant toward the United States. 1 - The United States government put political pressure on the Canadian Government to cancel the AVRO Arrow in the 1960's. The Americans wanted to put Bomarc Intercontinental Ballistics missles (read NUKES) on Canadian soil. If the Arrow was built then there would be no need for the missles. The Arrow was so advanced that the U.S. Air Force was willing to buy the Arrow! Unfortunatel they were overruled by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 2 - In the 1960's, The CIA used a hospital in Montreal to conduct LSD experiments on psyciatric patients. 3 - In the 1990's the US film industry unions tried to get movie companies to stop making movies in Canada! The reason they gave was that the unionized Canadian crews were working cheaper than unionized crews in the United States. They managed to convince the US congress to try to get Canada to stop subsidizing film and television projects. So far, this has failed.
