How to make Canada Great Again

[paxamericana]

Canada needs to double down on mineral processing. Turning Bauxite into Aluminum, Iron into steel, etc. Sell it to the American. Oh and one more small matter, do as you're told by the American.

How many times must your thick head be told that Canadians have no interest whatsoever in being "great".
We're totally satisfied just to be the best.

Herbie,

I agree.

Unlike Americans, we Canadians have never had a civil war.

And unlike Europeans, we Canadians still have a city where people speak a different language - yet live together.

I had an Internet cafe years ago and met my first person from Quebec, a treeplanter, who had no English. My French I learned reading cereal boxes (who remembers anyrhing from those school classes/).
A treeplanter from the Congo interpreted. We didn't fight, we all went to the Legion and got shitfaced together. Fun.

Hog Wash, if America were to disappear tomorrow, the only remaining cultural remnance would be Canada. Canada is America.

In 1910, people in Lvov spoke several languages. People nowadays in Lvov only speak one language.

Still today, people in Montreal speak two different languages.

We Canadians have all the benefits of America without any of the responsibilities.

I had a choice between the two and opted for this country. One of my better decisions.

I had the choice - like Tom Mulcair - to become a citizen of another foreign country: have two passports.

Like Smallwood, I chose Canada. I want only one passport, one citizenship.

Mmmhmmm what ever you say North Americans 

[herbie]

OMG give it up with your bullshit bragging. No one is listening.
Just in case no one told you you're Great Leader has demolished US greatness altogether and made you the World's laughing stock.
Again, and even worse.

From Beijing to Canberra, from London to Johannesburg, from Moscow to New Delhi we're laughing so hard our bellies hurt.
So try  talking sensibly about things.

That would start by you all acknowledging that without American involvement, the world will continue its natural state of dog eat dog. America is the biggest dog , our preeminence is what’s preventing you all from turning on each other. So yeah hate America all you want but realize, China would have conquered Taiwan in a Sunday afternoon and be home by dinner. You can kiss your semiconductor and iPhone and modern life good bye. Russia would have already been to the border with Poland by now if it wasn’t for American continuing support. So yeah, lower your tone when you speak to an American.

US greatness

Our strength is unassailable. We need not care what the world thinks. That is the problem for weak countries. You’ve no idea how many Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have already happened if it wasn’t for the US. The Soviet wanted to Nuke Beijing in the 1970s, we were the only country to say no. Gratitude is what you ought to have. You have two choices in the world ever since we came on the scene. You can have peace and prosperity when you do what the Americans want or you can have blood and dust when we stop caring. Guess we already know which direction we are headed. If you’re still alive in 30 years, be sure to send America an apology letter of how wrong you were.

China would not still be around if it wasn’t for American protection. And no Chinese capital flight that kept BC afloat for the past 30 years.
