bush_cheney2004 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 1982 was 1982 I am talking about NOW So am I.... Hey, Canada helped out with Iraq more than 90 % of the countries in "Coalition of the Willing" Shhhhhhhhsh...other Canadians might read this. You really aren't as close as you were in the early 2000's Still "closer" than Canada: Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
olpfan1 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 So am I.... No.. this is what you said "Again, you have no idea what you are talking about. The United States contributed directly and substantially to the UK's Falkland War effort in 1982 all while publicly denying such help." I was talking about the current Falkland Islands dispute, not the one in 1982 Quote
PIK Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Don't forget we were in vietnam also, a buddy of mine was sniper and he was not with the americans. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

bush_cheney2004 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 I was talking about the current Falkland Islands dispute, not the one in 1982 ..and I am telling you that the UK is getting all kinds of direct and indirect support from the Americans all over again. That would include intel collection, analysis, communications intercepts, economic pressure, military support, etc. The UK will not be caught flat footed again. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

I highly doubt that, U.S & Argentina are allies now, wait, I can see the U.S playing both sides, okay maybe you're right Quote
olpfan1 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Don't forget we were in vietnam also, a buddy of mine was sniper and he was not with the americans. They volunteered but Canada didn't have an actual division there sent by the government Quote

Made a bundle off of that war, eh? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Phillip Barzune Posted October 3, 2019 Report Posted October 3, 2019 After seeing all the hullabaloo about Andrew Sheer's dual citizenship, I think it's a concern that a member of Canadian Parliament possibly ( not likely) a Prime Minister can be a voting citizen of another country and, in the case of the United States, required to file annual income tax returns.

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 Any leader of a federal political party should only have Canadian citizenship for obvious reasons. I’m surprised by Andrew Scheer still having US citizenship and giving such a lame excuse for being in this embarrassing position: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/election-2019/conservative-leader-andrew-scheer-is-a-dual-canadian-u-s-citizen Quote
Dougie93 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) The one thing about being a dual American Canadian citizen, which I am, is that you have to side with America first. America takes no position against undertaking additional obligations to the British Crown, but that's on me. None the less, you still have to fulfill your obligations to America, the additional obligations to other sovereigns is my problem. It's not just about filing with the IRS, America is simply more vital than Canada is, Canada is just an American protectorate, Puerto Rico North. No foreign giant shall drink a drop from the Mississippi, ultimately Canada is no man's land. United Kingdom - United States Security Agreement. Canada is neither here nor there. God bless America. God save the Queen. In the darkest hour, for the free world. Edited October 4, 2019 by Dougie93 Quote

Just curious . . . . My grandparents moved the family to America after the Second World War. To California. Became Americans. My father was raised in California. He came back to Canada to marry my mother, who is from Nova Scotia, but moved to BC. My father was American, my mother is Canadian. My American grandfather was originally from Hamilton. He served in the RCAF in the war. Decided to seek his fortune in America after. My American grandmother was originally from Vancouver, they met out West when my grandfather was training with the RCAF. Edited October 4, 2019 by Dougie93 1 Quote
Dougie93 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 I however have no memory of being a child in BC, my parents moved to Halifax when I was a baby, so for me, it's like I was born in Nova Scotia, that's my earliest memories. Quote

Dougie93 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Canada is falling under the undue influence of the Communist Chinese. This is no longer about cross border rivalry, this is at the threshold of national security. I still hold to my oath to Her Majesty and those who are loyal to Her. American come to their aid, in the face of a communist takeover. I serve the free world, against the enemies of freedom, and I always have. Edited October 4, 2019 by Dougie93 Quote
