Instead of just the Western part of Canada, l think we should take the whole enchilada. We need the energy reserves and the water.

Nearly 2 years ago to this day I became an American citizen (Read about it in a FR post I made at the time: One of America's Newest Americans) swearing an oath of allegiance to this country and its flag. I gladly renounced my former Canadian citizenship and have never been tempted to look back. Canada continues on a crash course to destruction and I'm so glad to be free from it.

Only Quebec and a few urban core areas (like Toronto) hate Americans.

[Heartofsong83]

Best to fly Old Glory alongside your provincial flag now.

[Heartofsong83]

Minus Quebec I hope. They are the drain of Canada, stopping the Moral Majority in its tracks.

[NavVet]

All part of the master plan to export the liberals to Canada.

"Gee..... wouldn't it be grand if the gays in the lower 48 streamed north like draft dodgers in the 60s and early 70s?

Gee..... wouldn't be grand if supposedly moral people thought about the ethics of dumping still more of the human equivalent of toxic waste into their neighbor's back yard?

Canadian conservatives have already had more than our fill of the dregs of American society in the form of the afore mentioned draft dodging scum and military turncoat cowards - but, hey thanks for your 'unselfish' offer, eh.

You should all take the "gay test" on brokennewz.com before being too critical. This test will tell you if you need to go out and buy a sixpack of Stout, or a case of wine coolers.

Solution: Lets Gay Marry up Canadian and USA gay-lesbo couples and all their liberal supporters and let them settle in Quebec. Then let the rest of Canada secede and hook up with the USA. Let them in Quebec all create a Gay Utopian society and leave the rest of us alone in USA/Canada who want to lead normal conservative healthy lifestyles.

[Heartofsong83]

Perfect solution!!!

Even in the "blue states", the majority oppose gay marriage. Quebec is in a class by itself.

Mary Robinson must be proud of herself.

From here:

What are the fundamental [human] rights that Mary Robinson says all nations must recognise?

One, they include the repeal of all laws condemning homosexual sodomy.

Two, the legalisation of same-sex marriages.

Three, mandatory and graphic sexual training for children. She has three paragraphs on the last of these. She says the training has to include instruction, beginning when the child's at the age of 10, on how to engage in sexual intercourse with members of the same sex. Since this will of necessity be graphic, she says, "such materials should be exempted from pornography and obscenity laws".

Four, she says that all laws regulating prostitution must be eliminated. Prostitution, in short, must be legalised.

Five, she says that the age of consent for all sexual activities should be lowered to 14.

Finally, and most troublingly, she says: "There must be creation of penalties for anyone who vilifies individuals engaged in same-sex relationships." In short, it's not enough simply to normalise, in one fell swoop, all of international law related to homosexuality. We have to provide penalties.

What are the penalties she's talking about? Might it be the International Criminal Court? Turn to the guidelines on page 14, which emphasise the need for "the sensitisation of judicial branches of governments, both nationally and internationally." She suggests we need to "provide judicial education and the development of judicial materials".

Signed up tomorrow to make this first post.
If a Canadian had suggested the U.S would do this,
I'd give him proper hell for defaming the U.S. and her people,
and for having no understanding of the principles that underlie America's greatness.

Welcome to FR, eh?

[Heartofsong83]

This has also really made me support Quebec separatism as well. Support for gay marriage in Quebec is 20 percentage points higher than in any other province (British Columbia, split to 55% opposed), and more than 40 percentage points higher that in the Prairie Provinces (70-75% opposed).

Even in supposedly 'tolerant' Ontario, over 60% oppose gay marriage. It is probably more like 70% outside the GTA.

...plus you live in Hawaii! Not too shabby.

They can take it one step further and "GO $#)* themselves".

[PzLdr]

I believe that's what the passage of the Act ensures.

[A.B.Normal]

Perhaps I should have shortened themselves to thyself. So they can take it one step further and "Go $&#( thyself". I figure they may get seriously injured doing it that way.

[GreenLanternCorps]

This will be an issue in the next federal election, mark my words...
