Desmond was a nobody up to a year ago. Now she is a hero. Go figure. Canada likes to compete with America on everything. I prefer to watch American TV rather than Canadian TV. Sad to say but Canadian productions are mostly boring, with maybe a couple of exceptions, and I believe that I am not the only one that thinks like that. Otherwise if Canadian TV was all that great than Canadians would have got rid of their American TV channels decades ago. I mostly watch Canadian TV for the news and that is it. Sad, isn't it? Canadians are very good at making things up and trying to make it appear as though Canada is better than America and that Canada is the greatest nation and show on earth yet Canadians enjoy watching more American TV than Canadian TV. I remember the old days living in Montreal and had I had a french friend who's family always watched American TV and that is where they learned how to speak English and quite well all six of them. Even in Quebec, the french watch more American TV than Canadian TV other than their own french TV channels for their news. Poor, poor old Canada. It tries to compete with America but it is not working out all that well for Canada. Don't get me wrong here. I love my country but I do not enjoy watching our politicians trying to destroy Canada every day of what once was a great proud Canadian nation. Poor, poor Canada. Just saying. Read The Book of Negroes. Your remarks are so demeaning. Canada has a proud and interesting black history. Quote

I cannot be bothered to read that book. Why don't you tell me a few lines from the book? Have you ever bothered to read British history and some of the wonderful things the British have done for Canada and America and the Indians? The reason that you find my remarks SO demeaning is because you are not use to hearing the other side of the story that challenges the beliefs that you have been brought up to believe in and hold on too. We are not all politically correct out here in Canada land. Some of us like to question and challenge things that are said or done. Quote

Slavery was banned in the British Empire, including Canada, long prior to the US, in case you’re comparing civil rights cred. I’d rather be black in 1950’s Canada than 1950’s America by a country mile. Quote

Also, slavery continued in some regions of the British Empire, while several U.S. northern states abolished slavery long before Britain.

They cannot allow an hour to go by without talking about Trump when they are reporting the news. I can guarantee you that the CBC despises Trump and Scheer also although I do not know why because Scheer appears to be a liberal. The CBC just cannot wait for the next newscast hour to start talking about nasty old Trump in a negative way. The CBC has nothing ever good to say about Trump. The CBC just repeats and goes along with the American liberal lying media that always says bad things about Trump except for FOX News where you can get the other side of the story about Trump in a positive manner. You need to read between the lines to be able to see that the CBC has no love for Trump. It is the American and Canadian media that creates the lies and bull chit about Trump and they all try to take his words out of context so as to try and make him look stupid and that he lies all the time. When the leftist liberal media goes after someone whom they do not like then be prepared for the attacks and the mocking of that person. This is why the leftist liberal lying media in Canada and America should never be listened to or trusted to report real and truthful news. They lie like hell all the time. The CBC can be anything they want to be and these days they appear to be in favor of being a politically correct media enforcement wanna be police force because they never appear to be for freedom of speech but appear to be more against freedom of speech. What the CBC should be doing is quit talking about Trump so much for a change and start going after communist and archaic religious 10th century regimes like China, North Korea and Saudi Arabia. They have committed more crimes against humanity then Trump could ever do in his lifetime. That is what the CBC should be doing but they won't because Trump is their enemy of the day and what they want all of us to believe is that Trump is behind all the problems of the world and the one who is committing crimes against all of humanity. I have heard of Rosa Parks. She may not be a part of Canadian history but the Canadian media have no problem with trying to tell us that she was one great American hero woman and now the Canadian media have found their own Rosa Parks and are pushing her into the Canadian limelight a woman that we never heard of until a year ago. Your ignorance astounds me as to how the political world turns in Canada. But hey, what more can I say. Chuckle-chuckle. I understand your point of view. Every story that tells the truth about something Trump has done is seen as lies or distortion. Sadly I cannot help you there. You are just going to have to accept the fact that you are supporting a loser. Chuckle Chuckle. 1 Quote

I bet that you will never see the day when heterosexuals get recognized on a Canadian one or two dollar coin. Heaven forbid. Quote

John Otis Posted April 8, 2019 Report Posted April 8, 2019 I didn't read any of the answers or the OP's description except that he is from Russia. Now Mrs. Russian, why doesn't Russia destroy the United States of America and kill all Americans? You mentioned that they are poor, as in financially poor? That would be easy to kill them all then. And think about it, Russia and the world kills them all, you won't have to hate and feel insecure anymore..... so why doesn't the world do that? Seriously people, can somebody give me an answer to this question that is not BS? Quote
