BC would make a good 51st state.
I got my MBA from the University of Toronto in 1991. But the leftist attitude so permeated the city at that time that I wanted to leave, never to return...even though I did not really understand that the bad attitude was "leftist." I did not really understand that it was anti-American in Toronto so much as anti-white-male. I live in Moscow, Russia now. This is a pro-American environment and a pro-male environment. I consider both of these as essential elements that Toronto did not have.
I was thinking Alberta.
Unfortunately, BC is like the American left coast. It can be as leftist as Toronto. It is, in fact, the lesbian capital of the world. The conservative west in Canada includes only the interior of BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan and maybe Manitoba. I would love to see these provinces try to secede from Canada as a warning to Ottawa to get with the program. The Maritime Provinces...unfortunately...are also more left wing than necessary. They are pro-American only in the sense that they would be pro-Hillary. My sister lives in Newfoundland and she was totally shocked and befuddled when I told her last October that I was voting for George Bush. I then learned that, in eastern Canada, she had never heard anything from the media but negatives about the President, Iraq, etc. She had never been given a chance to form an alternative opinion.
very true!
Here in Florida we get an invasion of Canadians late in the fall and they stay till after Easter.
Though they are kinda cheap because their dollar is worth about 80% of our dollar and they can't buy as much and they tip poorly, they for the most part are really pleasant.
That is except for the french canadians. They smell and are way snotty. Cheap is a way of life as is rudness.I'd rather have illegal Guatamalans that work,mind their own business and are polite as can be then have legal french canadians.
Lipstick or butch? We need to make an informed decision.
Coming from MIT's security studies group, it [the article] will be semi-official.... Which is almost as bad as being on "double-secret probation."
So Canada provided a refuge for American draft dodgers during the Vietnam War. Much like Northern states once provided a refuge for slaves. Conscription and slavery: the difference is...?
This shows that the time has come for Americans "to give Canada some attention and a bit of a warning." Damn! Just as I was getting pumped for our invasion of Iran.
Ted Byfield published a weekly news magazine... And judging from the ideas expressed in these articles, he & Sapolsky cook a wicked batch of meth.
My bad, it seems that, apart from that Lesbian Capital thing, BC would not make a good state after all.
Canadians, including most of the so-called conservatives, believe that the only thing that can be done to solve their very serious problems is to rob their neighbours to pay themselves. Well, not the only thing; they'd like to make everything either forbidden or compulsory.
Eastern Canada is a ringside seat at a train wreck. But all the Americans need to do about it is refuse to equip our military (so-called) and, when the terrorists do come and blow up Toronto, decline to come and help them rebuild the city, or bail out their medical personnel who can't handle a normal summer weekend much less a disaster. Just politely tell them that you understood nobody would ever attack Canada because they supported the people who had just blown them up, and you have already committed all your resources.
The Canadian atrocities this article cites are truly numbing. Promoting a treaty to ban land mines? How dare they! And an International Criminal Court? How would Kissinger travel abroad?
Interesting observations.
I'm learning to speak Canadian. We're going to be hip deep in Canucks around here pretty soon.
I used to listen quite regularly to Radio Canada on shortwave, (even though I'm in the greater
Montreal broadcasting area, including 3 tv channels on cable), and you'd be hard pressed not to tell the
difference between a CNN radio newsbreak during the day, and what RCI used to run at 6PM Eastern Time.
Okay, the Canadian accents may give it away, but story, the spin, etc., was indistinguishable from any LSM broadcast.
In other words, the NYSlimes set the agenda.
You want to ad another Washington State or Oregon???
No it wouldn't.
Of course it would give us land communication with Alaska.
But it's a liberal cesspool.
Alberta has oil and a better political culture.
British Columbia could agree to be a territory until they clean up their act.
