Let’s start with 1812. I know a few folks think Americans defended themselves when in fact it was American warhawks high on their revolution win, that went on the offensive.
More recently, WWI, WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Cold War, Afghan etc, we’ve been allies and very good ones at that.
I am in Alberta, and we can’t stand it so much, we want out of the country.
A lot of us are way overtaxed, no freedom of expression (speech) and our gun rights are draconian, though we can own them etc, the rules and hoops you jump through are crazy, and you can’t carry in public.

may commit acts which would be against the Criminal Code of Canada. This is called prior restraint and is unconstitutional in the U.S. ...customs agent went through his luggage, his phone and laptop, and played a DVD of a speech he had given Wednesday. Also ILLEGAL! asked for details about the talk he was scheduled to give. Also ILLEGAL!Yes, it's absolutely illegal here in the USA...but this happened in Canada. Prior restraint is absolutely legal in Canada. And customs there can ask what they feel like and go through your stuff.
Ya ...I got that...
It WAS the POINT of my post!
Wonder how it is that Canada doesn’t afford those same basic protections?
Wonder how it is that Canada doesnt afford those same basic protections?No, I know why they don't offer those same basic protections. They don't have a Bill of Rights and their constitution is not set in stone like ours is, consisting of various parliamentary acts
