"you little twit"

Charming.

Still with the name-calling. You do not refute anything I have said.

Set me straight. What year did Canada fight for her independence?
(perhaps if you call me a doody-head)

Perhaps English is not your first language.

Indeed, it may be that you have every reason in the world to be stone-ignorant about Canada.

That is your right.

Americans fought for that right in the Revolutionary War against Britain.

If those heros had realized the number of slobbering goobers who would claim that heroism second-hand, they might have stuck with King George.

Less hypocrisy, at least!

You seem to be having a little trouble comprehending that Canada did not have a war of independance.

Canada used diplomatic and political means to gain her independance from England, rather than violent revolution and war. Canada's independance was confirmed and cemented in 1867 after the confederation conferences.

The same can be said for Australia, New Zealand, and dozens of former British colonies. Unfortunately, many of England's African colonies reverted to violence and corruption after being granted independance, but that is another matter.

India is a special case, wherein it was mainly a populist movement that won her independance.

I hope this helps a bit. I'm no historian, but I do remember a fair bit of the history courses I've taken.
