bush_cheney2004 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 The CBC is nothing like Fox News. It is in purpose and method, but differs in political alliance. Heather Mallick wouldn't have it any other way. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Topaz Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Lets not forget that Canada is still a young country and the US has been around since 1776. Canada is still growing and changing and let keep Canada, canada and the US, the US and not try to join them because people in both countries wouldn't like it. Yes , we have some things that are similar but we have alot different. Quote

Sounds good to me, but I am sure that in the wake of the next provincial bitch-fest over equalization payments, tax policy, proportional representation, etc., some yahoo will invariably begin pining for "joining the USA" or "becoming the 51st state" just to teach Ottawa a lesson.

g_bambino Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Lets not forget that Canada is still a young country and the US has been around since 1776. Canada may be changing - all countries do - but it's hardly new compared to the US. Canada was around in 1776, too. Quote

Griz Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 No identity? You mean all this time some of you "right-wing do-badders" have been saying assimilate? Be like the ROC. yet you don't even know you're own identity? Good One--so let's look at some of your cultural traits: Tim Hortons Coffee, Hockey Night In Canada, a song called Take Me Out To The Ball Game with a hot dog and beer; Bart Simpson is your hero, drinking vodka and going on forums to complain about indians...yeah right--assimilate? .

We'll take the best from your culture and incorporate it with ours and vice versa. Result - new culture.

Oh I think we could leave out a whole lot more...like out kiddie-diddling priests, our child abusing teachers, our child-porn addicted business men, our grave-robbing lawyers and our substance abuse addicted doctors...to name a few....

Perhaps we should start on sycophants who think their opinions are law and call for police and the army to march upon our citizens....

You can bet that people won't be using their cellphones in cars from now on, for example. So many of our laws as they relate to cars could be eliminated if our roads and cars were automated. I bet most if not all the money we spend on enforcement not to mention medical care and vehicle insurance would more than pay for the infrastructure. A lot of our substance issue problems that soak up addition billions would also be addressed by car/road automation. The technology the do this has been sitting on the shelf for years, don't tell me it can't or shouldn't be done. I'd suggest its a crime that we haven't given the death toll from accidents alone. If as many people were being killed or injured by any number of other causes the public or some representative of such would be demanding the state do something about it.
