M.Dancer Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Indeed...the RoC looks down on the GTA in equal measure. Yup...almost for the same reason why the RoUSA hates NYC. ..but the only people who hate bumpkin town are the bumpkins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh but there is, there is....the RoUSA is everything outside of NYC and Hollywood....it's the breadbasket, the panhandle, the bible belt, the great divide.... It the America that doesn't speak like they do on TV, that doesn't look loke the do on film.... ....it's Manitoba with an attitude problem.

Instead of Rest of USA, they are want to call it Real America, when refering to the other 99.99% that isn't NYC or Hollywood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzy Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Nope...you missed Washington DC, Miami-Dade, Honolulu, and San Francisco. His point still stands. There are, in the US, variations of the two solitudes. The language around "Real America" is one example. The black vs white tension represents another.

Shwa Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 There is no RoUSA, but if there was, it would hate Toronto, not NYC! For awhile there, they were hatin' on Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzy Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I agree...would hate to be "black" in Canada! I don't know what this means. Are you implying that there isn't a black/white tension in the US that mirrors the two solitudes in Canada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never any suggestion on my part that this wasn't true. I'm simply illustrating that intranational divisions exist much the same but under different banners in both countries.

Oleg Bach Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Canada is for Canadians.... Seeing we have every one on the planet crammed into this fledgling nation it seems that Canada is for the world...now to make sure we are not over run and conquered is a must...The leaf is for the healing of the nations..This stupid country has no idea how much power it has...I just hope that those that understand use that power well...nice to see you BC - love to you and the family.

GostHacked Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Not according to the UN. So are you letting the UN tell you what is what? That's not like the BC-04 I've come to know. Or is this one of those matters of convenience? Most African Americans are born in the US. Nothing African about them. I am a Canadian with a German heritage. I don't call myself a German-Canadian. It's funny that people say Canada has an identity issue when you have African-Americans who have little to no connection left to the country/continent they were abducted from to till the farms of the rich white elite.

It's not funny at all...these hyphenated groups are self identified...not labeled by a "rich white" government as visibly not white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 The UN means little to me, but is the heartbeat of multilateral Canada. So why use that angle if you are not supporting it? It is used when it suits the US. That is it. It's not funny at all...these hyphenated groups are self identified...not labeled by a "rich white" government as visibly not white. Then they have no idea who and what they really are. That's sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
