I miss Reagan

And this folks is why Canadians vote the way they do. This is why 70% of Canada is left. Suckers for manipulation and B.S. Fine if you disagree with Bush's policies, fine if you don't like him. But at least get your information from credible sources not some radical with an agenda. Moore's a proven liar. Even the ultra liberals like Ralph Nader consider him full of crap. The Dems don't want him near them. In fact the big fear is that he actually does Bush a favour with his venom spitting.

Oh really how exactly? You must be liberal. Liberals consistently like to smear people they disagree with by calling them "Hitler" or refering to them as "Nazi's".

Glad he's dead...

Very factual right?

To all women wanting child support MYOB!

Wasn't his slogan "screw the west we'll take the rest"?

Where'd you come up with that little stat? Bowling for Columbine?

Do you pay to register your kitchen knives?

ONE BILLION DOLLARS! on a program that was supposed to cost 2 million. A program that forces farmers to pay money to register their tools. Somehow it is supposed to stop crime? I guess the criminals are lining up to register their guns. Companies and governments around the world as an example of what not to do.

Richly deserved! Keep telling that kind of thing to Albertans, I beg you!

Ya I think that is a fair comment. The are good and bad things about both countries. I certainly don't admire every aspect of the US. However I do think that the former rivelry and jealousy has turned into hatred for a lot of people. Kids are taught in school by anti-US teachers, we have the CBC which makes no bones about being anti-american, we have had a government which was openly insulting towards Americans. Canadians perception and misunderstanding of G.W. Bush has added a lot of fuel to that fire as well. But ya you're right, we often get screwed by them merely as a result of their size.

Sounds like someone is a Michael Moore fan. First you obviously don't understand the US electoral college which functioned exactly how it was supposed to. Second I consider Harvard and Yale a pretty good education. Ya ya his daddy got him in. Ya ya he cheated to get his A's and B's, I know you have an excuse for all of it. Third he doesn't make irrational decisions. I consider it very disciplined to not drop a few Moabs on Iraq and Afganistan on Sept. 12. Fourth the hyperbolic description of turning the US into a "police-state" is a little overboard don't you think? Fifth he cut taxes for everyone by percentages which is as fair as you can get cutting taxes. BTW you must not live in Canada if you consider the US tax system unfair. And finally undermining the UN is something to be proud of. A corrupt organization that consistently fails to stop genocide in places like Sudan, Rwanda, Balkins, Zimbabwe.

No we wouldn't send him back to China, they believe in Capital Punishment. Here that is considered "cruel and unusual" for child killers. We'll try to rehabilitate him and pay for all of his expenses when he claims refugee status. Just watch.

It's always been the case that those who claim to be the most open minded are actually the most close minded to others ideas. It isn't coincidence that peace protests often turn violent against those who oppose "their right to free speech". It's these same "open minded" people who cry censorship when ordinary citizens and business decide not to patronize them. Canada is a selectively tolerant country.

I just love the hypocrisy of Molson's latest commercials "Why don't I drink American beer!" While at the same time they merge with an American Beer company. I guess Molson will start wearing "Jamacan snowshoes, eating Japanese hotdogs, and driving Moroccan snowmobiles" So typically Canadian: "we hate Americans!" is the cry. But we love their clothes, food, movies, money, cars, sports, etc.

no I think you are right udawg, affirmative action is a factor in Canada. I remember a few years back when the RCMP announced that they would not hire any more white males as their quota was full.

I don't know why you're attacking right wingers. This is precisely why right wingers hate unions. Because they end up making outrageous demands. The NHL is a company and needs to remain viable. It is in competition with 3 other leagues, 2 of which perform far better than the NHL. The NHL needs to keep its costs down and keep its shareholders (the owners) happy.

Pro-Bush, Anti-Clinton Surprising huh?

Ya that and Americans drive to Canada in July with skis on their roof racks. That is such garbage. That little red leaf that seemingly makes one bulletproof. The only Americans who do that are liberal freaks from Berkley who are ashamed to be American. What is really funny is that you don't generally see Aussies, Swiss, British, etc. parading around with their flags on their luggage so as not to look American. One guy I talked to who runs a hostel in S. Africa told me it's the big joke around there which Canadian will have the biggest flag on their backpack.

You know I thought there would be issues there, but I actually found them to be very nice, but I was not in Paris. I understand in Paris they hate everyone. As for daring me to go to Egypt or Saudi etc. Well I'm sure I wouldn't need a flag on my backpack for them to figure out I would be a good target. But how about Nairobi or better yet Tanzania (80% Muslim). I spent some time there and tried to get a pulse for wide spread anti-americanism. Didn't personally see it. I spent 5 days in a train car with some really devout Muslims during Ramadan. Had lots of time to really ask them about how they felt about Americans. They conveyed no ill will whatsoever. No one ever made a real distinction between Americans or Canadians.

This is my point. In travelling through Europe last summer I just have to say that I didn't find the hate towards americans that Canadians seem to profess exists. The Germans, the Spanish, the Italians were all very nice even though I did not have the "protection" of a giant maple leaf plastered on my back pack. In fact I felt so at ease I put a US flag pin on my back pack just to see if I'd be mistreated. Everyone was still very polite. In walking through the streets I found it odd to see Euro's wearing US flag shirts and Yankee hats. And where of all places... in France! and the people were very nice there as well. Perhaps they have realized where their bread and butter comes from. And I happened across a very obnoxious couple who felt everyone wanted to hear they're politics etc. and guess where they were from, no not Texas, Ontario! What a surprise. Arrogantly spouting off their views about the US occupation in Iraq, comfortably in the company of myself, my companion and an Arab couple until they learned the Arab couple was from Kuwait and were actually happy the US had rid Saddam from them. So what is my point. No I'm not saying that Euro's love George W. or the US government. But I certainly did not find the contempt towards Americans so propegated in Canadian culture. Are all Canadian travellers arrogant. No but I once again have found that many are arrogant because they are so misinformed about world opinions. Perhaps Canadians should find other sources of info other than CBC and Molson beer ads.

I'm sorry but you have fallen victim, like so many other Canadians, to the fallacy that the entire world hates Americans and loves Canadians. While it is likely true that many people in the world dislike American foreign policy and G.W. Bush. The key to your above statement "spending time in the United States" (where I lived for 10 years BTW). Americans are pretty good at keeping their flags within the confines of their borders. Something Canadians are terrible at. Canadians really believe that the world loves Canadians as if we are so much more polite than anyone else. The truth is the world sees us as pretty much the same as Americans. We're all from North America.

Hey we need people to operate the phones at 1-800-OhCanada. That is a very important public service you know.

Let's not split hairs here. They've agreed to merge, it's pretty much a done deal. I wouldn't say Canadian nationalism is more polite, although I know most Canadians like to pat themselves on the back for how "nice" they are. I think Canadians have quite a bit of arrogance prancing around the world with the Maple Leaf plastered on everything they own.

So now what will Canadians do for their identity now that Molson has merged with Coors? Who will speak for us now that "Joe Canada" has realized that Canada perhaps is not "the best part of North America"? Let's admit it, the only thing that unifies Canadians now is their hatred of Americans.
