Those Safe Liberal Crooks (Ted Byfield On Why Ontario Fears Western Canada Alert)

Another display of ignorance bordering upon racism.

Aside from half of your list pre-dating the primarily post-WWII Ukrainian immigration to Ontario* and additionally being comprised of roughly as many Scottish as English surnames (so much for your actually pre-Confederation 'Family Compact' theories), you've chosen to ignore an extensive list of Ukrainian-Canadians who've figured prominently as Ontario Cabinet Ministers over the past 4 decades.

Not surprisingly, given your on-going intellectual dishonesty - not to mention self-serving evasiveness when it comes to answering criticism - your definition of 'left' plainly becomes much more vague and/or forgiving depending upon which side of the equator you're focusing on.

Gotta hand it to you though, accusations of inbred colonial mentality coming from someone from Hong Kong actually tops the concept of a New Zealander lecturing anyone about the nanny state.

Plus, given that Canadians died defending Hong Kong from Japanese Fascism, your habitual sniping at us across many threads is completely unseemly.

* the wave(s) of Ukrainian immigration to Western Canada occurred mainly prior to WWI and immediately after it.

Can you figure out what GMMAC is foaming at the mouth about? I can't.

[NZerFromHK]

I can't either. Probably we have offended one of his sore points? ;-)

I avoid Buffalo because I find it full of numerous varieties of trashy, negative types. I go to Niagara Falls next door and, even though it's seemingly less economically well off, find lots of absolutely marvelous, friendly and openly patriotic Americans.

I won't dispute the description of Buffalo, but the people in Niagara Falls are not much different than those in Buffalo.

[GMMAC]

Plainly one of you is being intentionally uncomprehending while the other must simply be clueless.

"NZerFromHK" - who tells us he's originally from Hong Kong and now apparently resides in New Zealand - has been bashing all Canadians across many threads for quite a while now and I'm hardly alone in being tired of it.

Someone residing in New Zealand is hardly in any position to engage in non-stop carping about Canada plus, given that Canadians died defending Hong Kong from Japanese fascism, such habitual sniping at us across many threads is completely unseemly.

A poll showed that 50% of BC viewers don't bother watching the CBC.

LOL.

You've got to be kidding!

50% of BC viewer WATCH CBC? You are surrounded by kool-aid drinkers and don't even know it.

In Ontario, during the 7 week CBC strike, no one even noticed except the left. Our viewer ship of the CBC is less than 10%.

BTW, guest speakers from Israel are protested everywhere they go, (Stupidly, IMO.) Have you perhaps not invited any speakers from Israel?

Try reading his post again, or can't you understand truth, and facts?

Truth and facts are what conservatives use to debate, in case you weren't aware.

[Alexander Rubin]

I'm with GMMAC on this. And it's pretty clear what he's upset about, and he has good reason to be.

[Snowyman]

Thanks. Also remember a majority of Canada supports Britain's Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state just because of anti-Americanism. Having the monarchy is the most un-US thing to do, and if I'm correct support of the monarchy in Canada is the highest in Ontario.

Nope. You're not correct on this one either.You don't know what you're talking about.

>and if I'm correct support of the monarchy in Canada is the >highest in Ontario.

Ontario is the only province in Canada to use the Crown on license plates and highway signs.

[Sam Gamgee]

Well, the poll was not scientific whatsoever, just a radio poll. A lot of Canadians get their sports from CBC - but that may be all they watch.

Are you serious about the 10%? Is this the ongoing viewer ship of the CBC. I see tons of these "save the CBC" signs in Victoria.
