Quote:

It's Canadian tradition to oppose American policy on the grounds that it is both noble and defines Canada. We like to believe that we're more moral than the United States simply because we reflexively criticize our ally's actions.

What a way to define yourself as a nation… "We're the immature pain-in-the-ass country."

We like to believe that we're more moral than the United States simply because we reflexively criticize our ally's actions.

So all we have to do is call Canadians names and then we can become more moral too.

There are two Canadas. Just as the US consists of rural versus sophisticated, socialist urban areas, so Canada does. The rural, conservative areas feel that the socialist dependant areas are a pain in the ass. I agree.

Poor Canadians, shamed and mis-represented by their leaders.

All the more pity that I have little sympathy left for them.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I thought "snuggle bunny" was an act of reproduction!

No. we make them the butt of ridicule… the more pointed the better.

This is the way to burst their bubble; don't get angry with them, laugh at them.

"...cultural exchanges and foreign aid don't sway nations..."

I dunno. Yesterday I was thinking very nice thoughts about Canada. Especially their need for American sperm donors.

I guess I should have known they wouldn't respect me in the morning...

[brbethke]

Aw, heck. Let's just annex Canada and get it over with.

[cpprfld]

I don't think most Americans would want Canada.

[NicknamedBob]

"Let's just annex Canada and get it over with."

All right, except for Quebec. Let the French have that ... then those two can be pains in each other's butts.

And just to make sure they don't make trouble for anyone else, make them responsible for Haiti, too.
All our bad eggs are belong in one poche.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The influence that Canadians believe they wield through kind words and understanding has had remarkably little effect in achieving our goals.

I find I can get further with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.

[albertabound]

Bend over America, I am all puckered up. lol

[brbethke]

Deal.

I've long advocated annexing -- excuse me, federating with -- Mexico, but figured the only problem would be having to listen to all the whining and simpering from those *&@#$!! Canadians when they started to feel left out. But if we can pawn Quebec and Haiti off on France, I think we've got a winning combination here.

They get decent medical treatment. We get much simpler border crossings when we go fishing in Ontario. Of course we'll also get a LOT of grousing from their writers, actors, and musicians when they realize the Canadian content law no longer applies, but they'll get over it.

I'm sorry, but I can't find the sympathy for countries like Canada anymore. After 911 I learned that these people had a "Screw You" attitude about the US, just like France, Germany, et.al. The people in these countries are, truly, false friends. And I don't believe this is just the socialists in the urban centers. I can't get over the poll numbers in the upper 80s of the majority of these people saying, in a general sense, to whit, that they agree with the crowd that views the US as an "Evil Empire". I'm tired of the hackneyed, two-faced, holier than thou bullshit that the Canucks have been bellowing for far too long. I can honestly say that this American will never visit Canada, or buy anything from Canada, for as long as I live!

Tell that to the 2000 Cdn troops in Afghanistan who are in harm's way and JTF-2 commandos who have been working with US SOFs hunting down terrorist elements. Tell that to the Cdn Navy pers who spent time away from their families while serving in the ME during Iraqi ops. Tell that to Cdns who opened up their homes to American flight passengers during 9/11.

Do some research before spouting of nonsense and trying to place all Cdns in a socialist slot.

Have a nice day.

Hey, Sport! Do you think that the Liberals would have been able to get away with the implementation of their idiotic socialistic agenda if the majority of Canucks were against it? Like their great health care system, strict gun control, runaway third-worldism, UN fetishism, and a military establishment smaller than the New York City Police Department.

The fact of the matter is that most Canadians are cut from the same cloth as the British Liberals and French Socialists. And don't use the brave sacrifices of the few to excuse the cowardice of the many.

I've lived across the border from Canada my entire life. I've visited Canada frequently for many years. I've seen nothing from these people but snide, sarcastic, puerile, America-hating tripe from the Canadian intellectuals, the Canadian government, and the Canadian people for too long. Try watching CBC with your eyes open some time. Its as bad as the BBC, but with a French twist.

I am sick and tired of these chicken-shit second-raters and hangers-on complaining about their misfortune of being located next to the greatest nation in the history of the planet. Do you really believe that your status in the world is related to your own dynamic political and economic accomplishments? Hardly! The Canadians are like the dumb brother-in-law who is always bailed out after continuous failure because of the need to keep up family appearances.

Forget Canada and Canucks!

Signed up today to say that eh?
