I think it is absolutely appalling that the British would stiff you Canadians with a defective submarine like they did. Especially one that is apparently totally unsafe to sail even for a shakedown cruise.

One word to you about retaking your country:

Secession

“Canada used to have a proud military but the canadian government has been taken over by extreme leftists that do not reflect the majority of the canadian public's opinion.”

I agree with the rest of your statement but the last sentence cannot be true.
If the majority of Canadians felt this way then Canada wouldn't be in its present shape to begin with.


“Excellent point.
We separate the people from their corrupt government.
Consider the Persian people vs. the Mullahs, as another example.”

Diogenesis, consider free and open elections in Canada to what the Mullahs permit.
You can’t compare dictatorial theocracies to democracies.
Canada's problems are their own doing. The "Persians" have little to no choice.

Please don't take it out on the poor canadian troops.They are very brave and so unsupported.

Hear, hear! There are some fantastic members of Canada's military... less every year though as they retire and not replaced. Some of the best marksmen in the world are Canadian. Too bad their government is sliding into the crapper.

Those who bash Canada should thank them for providing a good bad example for the US. Some part of me wishes they'd go to heck faster so as to provide a better example of socialist policies. Sorry Canadians, I know that's petty of me, but I don't want my country to go Canada's way!
