Uh.. Sorry , where do you get the idea that people will come bashing our doors and burning our bibles? You are fully aware that you are allowed to go to church on Sunday right? The point is not to destroy religion.. The point is to have other people be whatever they want..

Sorry, I could not understand the jist of your argument.. What is this that you are talking about? An armed rebellion? Also, what the hell is up with you labeling others as "enemies"? What are you, a violent Jihad? Slay the infidels!!

So you are not satisfied with your own trust in your own faith right? You are obliged to convert everybody else by law so that you can live in your own little fairy tale.. Your faith is only between you and your god. If you want to convert people, do it solely by word and moral appeal - no religion is safe with state power as it corrupts the doctrine. Do you really believe that the Christian doctrine wants to oppress people by forcing them into their beliefs?

There is certainly room for improvement.. However, we are probably doing a lot better than the Americans.. There was a speech by Tommy Douglas in '79 that showed Tommy's disappointment in the system. He said that not enough attention was being paid towards keeping the hospitals competitive in quality. He also wanted to expand medicare into dentistry and pharmaceutics.

Interesting, I believe that it was Connecticut who broke off from Massachusetts because they were cast out by the Puritans and wanted to form their own sect

Something that I have come to notice very recently..

Try Iran.. I think you will like it there. "Crush our enemies"?? What in the world are you talking about?

Don't waste your breath.. You would have to be a complete moron to say that "Socialism = Secularism" Also, who cares what is written on the bills... IN LAW, we are entirely secular.. In Canada: 2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: a) freedom of conscience and religion; In the United States: Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion 'Nuff said.. We are at most an agnostic country

Minorities as well

I guess Canadian law disagrees with the Conservatives then

What separates us from the Conservatives is that we believe you can’t have an efficient economy without a just society. Nice one

Are you seriously ready to back this up...? Read some John Locke please

I don't see why anybody would have a problem with the Americans.. We are mutually closest allies and trading partners.. We speak the same language, we are both secular.. We may be different but we are buddies

Right. Sorry, just a small semantics issue..

What were we supposed to do? It was a NATO obligation.. An attack was made on American soil. Now on the other hand, it was Harper who wanted us to enter the Iraq war

I meant that Furlong and his escort were Canadians..

okay, so he had a whole team of guys and only one guy was American..

yes, quite true.. we just have to get over it and get in there when innocent people are being raped systematically

We have good forces... JTF-2

who was that supposed to be

Haha, Mr.Canada employed the same argument that got GWB elected down south..

It is almost as bad.. Private hospitals will only blow public hospitals out of the water in competition. It will create a social gap in our country and eventually, it will look redundant to have a "semi private" system.. Which system do you think will be scraped?

That is why we have universal health care - so that everybody is insured
