Did y'all notice this little ditty: "We will take away your guns and put you away -- or kick you out of Canada -- for good."

Goodness gracious, they're going to take away the bad guys' guns and put them away (for maybe...say, 4 years) or maybe even deport them. No more Mr. Good Guy!

[OldPossum]

Oops, sorry, someone did see it, BeAllYouCanBe with post 10.

I noticed. :-)

It would be comical, if it wasn't.

"Canadians are as different politically, socially, economically, financially, etc as Yankees"

Then how come you have American Hating Surrender Monkeys running the Government? It is over for you already and you don't know it yet.

Just for the record, I am no Yankee.

[CaptainCanada]

I guess ignorance IS bliss (at least in your case).
And don't worry, we WILL kick the Libs out of office, so it
ain't over for us.
And for the record --- yes, you are a Yankee..

[wmileo]

"so it ain't over for us."

You mean " it isn't over for us". I guess ignorance IS bliss (at least in your case). The only reason Canada is still a sovereign nation is because you share a 3000 mile border with the USA. If you shared a border with Mexico as we do, the number of people crossing the border in just one week would take over your country in the very next week. You are an unreliable ally and a joke militarily. Hands up, Surrender Monkey!!!!

I guess it's time they outlawed guns.

[-YYZ-]

I had the same thoughts when listening to this "lack of opportunities" blather: if you can't find opportunities in and around Toronto, one of the strongest areas, economically speaking, in Canada, you probably couldn't find any anywhere. I say one of the strongest only because there are some areas in Alberta that are currently even better. For anyone who isn't afraid of doing some work there are surely opportunities, and good ones if you manage to, say, finish high school and/or learn a trade or get a degree in something useful. Actually, even liberal arts majors are in demand.

"You mean " it isn't over for us". I guess ... Hands up, Surrender Monkey!!!!"

The libs killed the military...The US FORCES killed the need for most Canadians, growing up, to enlist. Canadian soldiers are TOP 3 in skills year after year when it comes to the evaluation of troops worldwide.
We've had MANY military victories in the past, with an ALL VOLUNTEER army...i won't name them all.
MANY times over the last century Canadians helped the Americans, from Naval disasters to accepting your own in our lands when you( americans) as a whole, wouldn't. I'm not talking about mexicans either.

So your crap about Canada this and Canada that, well, it is crap, since you probably have no sense of history or common sense.

Don't forget, the MAJORITY of americans voted for CLINTON...while only a minority of canadians voted for MARTIN, CHRETIEN...

Your country has been in a steady decline for over 60 years. It is too late to change. The only people you helped in that time are draft dodgers who did not want to wear the uniform of the USA during times of great difficulty for the free world. There are Canadians who even wanted to erect a memorial statue commemorating the way Canadians welcomed those Americans who did not want to serve in the Vietnam conflict. Now you have a problem with violent types and you can not deal with it. Go welcome them. Hands up and bend over, Surrender Monkey. Don't expect us to help. We have another conflict to resolve, without your help, once again.

"Don't forget, the MAJORITY of americans voted for CLINTON...while only a minority of canadians voted for MARTIN, CHRETIEN"

By the way Mr. Great Historian, you are as ignorant about USA Elections as you are about the great glory of Canada. In 1992 and 1996, the USA Election results were as follows:

1992; CLINTON 43.0%, BUSH 37.4%, PEROT 18.9%, other 0.7%
1996; CLINTON 49.0%, DOLE 41.0%, PEROT 8.0%, other 2.0%

You can check this out by going to the Internet or try the Canadian Federal Public Library System before those violent types burn it down.

good reply :D

People are starting to get annoyed. The highwater mark of feral gangs may yet be in the future, but it will come and moral choices will be made. Hopefully the focus will be on causes such as gov't assisted destruction of the family and not on superficialities such as handguns and poverty. Hope is not much of an effective virtue, but strong action is.
