If Ontario taxpayers don't see that THEY have been outright robbed then they are just too stooooooooopid to even slap! There are some good Conservatives in Ontario, but to date, it would appear that they are precious few.

Careful CO ,your bigotry is showing.

Today David Anderson , Liberal Environment Minister from B.C. , was implicated in the secret slush fund Scandal for securing $50,000 from Gagliano by way of a Quebec ad agency , who picked up a 12% commission , for a music festival in BC. Just wondering how you liked the music?

I'm not slamming them and check my handle!

didn't mean you in particular- just thought some of the comments were over the top...

As you are obviously a Canadian I'll spare you a flaming only because I neglect to put a hyphen "yellow-day-Democrat"

Actually, I hold duel citizenship. Your 32,000,000 million population figure would "still" cover everyone in Canada, including those in LE, the military and all Cdn Conservatives.

I already know that Canada is socialist, but millions of Canadians who have served and continue to serve in the military, including those in LE are not socialists.

As far as the Canadian Forces and quality goes, JTF2, 3PPCLI, 3RCR, its PARA COY and the sniper cell at CFB Gagetown are fine. Likewise, the Navy pers in the ME did a terrific job. You work with what you have and you don't whine. That's what counts.

Israel with a population of 6.5 million people has a first-class military, so it can be done by small countries if they have the incentive.

[Snowyman]

Quid. How much money does the US give to Israel ? Foreign Aid? Military Aid? Loan Guarantees ?

Some incentive.

[Aura Of The Blade]

Hold on here, I did post it originally as "yellow-dog Democrats".

Nobody said you didn't. In fact, I quoted you as saying yellow-dog Democrats.

Regardless, your 32,000,000 figure encompasses everyone in Canada, including LE, military pers, and Conservatives.

[GeronL]

They cut military spending by 23%!!

[GeronL]

Not yet. But if threatened by a superior military (like that of, say, Tuvalu), do you think it will be Germany, France or the US who will volunteer to help you resist the Tuvaluan hordes?

Doesn't Tuvalu have a population of 9,800?? LOL.. hardly enough for a single horde.

Stop equivoocating, here is what in Reply #131 you quoted me as saying : "No it isn't, at least not if you don't want another 32,000,000 yellow dog Democrats here in the U.S."

You went on to yap at me for some imagined racism, to wit:

While you sit behind a keyboard, the yellow people you describe in Canadian LE work hard to coordinate and exchange intelligence with US Federal LE. Likewise the yellow people in the Cdn Navy boarded over 1000 vessels in the ME during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Likewise the yellow people serving in the CF shed (and continue to) their blood in the WOT in Afghanistan. Go pop a pill.

Deleting that hyphen was deliberate and it changed the meaning if the phrase completely, so take your ass-kicking like a man and stop whining (that whinging for you poutine-eaters up north).

>> INVADE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
>>> Why would we want it?

We should be good neighbors and free the innocent people of Canada from an evil regime of socialism. After free them from the Reds, we can make a grab for all that lumber and oil that they have. The moment we deplete their natural resources we can give them their independence and say, “Thanks for helping us on the War on Terrorism.”

On a personal note, I should say until a year ago I did a great deal of business in Winterpeg, Ottawa and Toronto. I never met a more politically correct people in my life, but at the same time they were hostile to me. (Typical of liberals.) Toronto is over-flowing with Muslims – and I should say the ones that I have met are very anti-American. Working in the computer business it is quite common to run into non-North Americans in the work place.

Add to the mix the fact that the Israelis aren't politically-correct pussies.

[GeronL]

Does Mexico even know what snow is?

Um, yes. Tall mountains around Mexico City have them. The mountains that keep the pollution from moving away from the city... heh

[GeronL]

Also, Luxemberg spends more money on their military then Canada...lame huh

Now, that is impossible to beleive

Actually, I didn't delete the hyphan deliberately, I quoted you from memory reading your other post - not cut & paste, which I concede is my error.

But WITH or WITHOUT the hyphan, YOUR 32,000,000 figure encompasses every Canadian, which includes all LE, military pers and Conservatives.

It took me awhile to figure out why you are obsessed with Canadians; it finally dawned on me, that you probably have Canadian ancestry. Northeast, eh?

[Iberian]

I agree, besides we give a dam!!! about Israel with Canada who gives a crap. There are a bunch of envious nervous french wanabies.
What the hell are their armed forces good for?? a frigatte here and a launch ramp there. They are better off closing them, 2 Billion can buy a lot of horses (fast ones)

Nope, not a Canadian in my whole family tree.

But i've had a belly full of Canadian anti-Americanism and general carping about and mocking of America and Americans.

They probably just didn't like you, Canadians are good at sniffing out bigots.

How come the average Canadian lives longer than the average American then? Might be the 40 million Americans that have no health care that drags down the average. Just for the record, I am anti-Socialized medicine, it is far from free.
