They’re not even a real country anyway.

>>I bought a bale of peat moss from Canada once. What else do they make??<<

Maple syrup.

And they store our trees.

"I can not imagine what a protest by Canadians would look like. Maybe when they are handing over their guns they will give the government a dirty look...and then apologize.

(Note: I first saw that when I was working in Canada when one of the locals printed it and put it over my desk)

I get maple syrup from New England. Trees? I’m done with my home repair period. Most of what I read is digital so I don’t kill trees for that.

My 99 Durango was, I believe, made or assembled in Canada. Gave it away in 2014.

But. Whatever....

[freedumb2003]

I was just answering what Canada makes. Not offering a opinion on the usefulness.

We should invade Western Canada to link Alaska with the lower 48. At that time we should offer citizenship to those Canadians who like AR-15s, deport the rest to the rump station of eastern Canada, while simultaneously migrating Republicans from the NE and California to our new territories which then gives a shot at several new right-wing states. Not to mention appropriating a great deal of natural resources.

[grey_whiskers]

Because your initial response was to tell me I needed hobby.

That was not *substantive* in either direction.

Maybe living up here in the great white north is sort of like purgatory in the world of nations.

[HotHunt]

My first response to you was to ask you the question, "What exactly do you propose we boycott? Go back and read it.

Besides, suggesting you need to get a hobby is not calling you names, like you clearly did to me.

BTW, you still have not answered the question put to you. Apparently you have no counter argument, just your ad hominem attack calling me "Swampy".

[SunkenCiv]

Seems like the a-holes behind that BS need to learn firsthand exactly how many things can be used as assault weapons.

As an Alberta I am more than happy to secede from Canada. Thankfully so are a lot of other Westerners.

Like Jefferson Davis said all we ask is to be left alone.

[grey_whiskers]

The problem with your original statement, is putting the phrase "what do you think we need to boycott" followed by "you have too much time on your hands" and "you need a hobby" --- reeked of derision.

But I suspect you knew that.

[HotHunt]

I notice you still haven't answered the boycott question yet at all. You don't even have a counter argument or answer to your own question you threw out there.

But your still dwelling on your poor feelings and how offended you are that someone would suggest that you have too much time on your hands.

I went back and looked at the responses to your vanity thread and saw that it is not going too well. More people are challenging your idea than embracing it.

Your vanity thread has sputtered out at around 50 responses with no substantive ideas to offer. Eleven of those 50 responses were yours, trying to challenge people on what they said.

Derision? Yeah, that's what it was.

[grey_whiskers]

That's why they're called "vanities".

Some ideas catch fire, some don't.

[HotHunt]

Whatever.

Calm down - just Canadian bacon - I wouldn’t boycott REAL bacon....
