Listen, we are joined at the hip.You may not like it, but we know the US isn't hostile, so let's be realistic and realize that the only threat to us comes from you, no one else, so if we know you don't care about us enough to invade, why in God's name would we spend 90% of our GNP to defend against YOU! What else can Canada, as a nation, do that the US can't huh? It comes with the territory of being the biggest and strongest, and if its a free ride, well it is.We can't compete with you.We are smaller than California.Those are the breaks.

THE POINT IS THAT YOU CAN NOT EVEN HELP US DEFEND YOURSELF!!!! Grow up.

As my canadian friends say...
Canada went to war once, lost their bullet, and had to come home.

I personally have no problem defending you. I was just wandering why any Canadian would sit back and not be ashamed for at least trying to help?

Yeeehawwwww!
54'40 or fight!
I say we take western Canada and make it the 51st State. It would give the US one huge oil and coal reserve, large timber supplies and we would own the road to Alaska.
Not to mention we could cut out all the tariffs and taxes on the Canadian people and allow the citizens to have their guns back.

The Canadian Alliance is led by a man who says that dinosaurs wandered the earth 6000 years ago. He is probably right.

# 70: I agree. It's a shame on both our houses that the Vietnam grunts were not supported during the war, and as vets have been abandoned after the war.

Yo! Habs! I think all the sane folks have left this tavern; there's just some drunken yokels remaining.
Don't get mugged. Walk out while they're preoccupied with their sisters.;^)

Where do you think they are sitting back ?If I wasn't ashamed, I sure wouldn't be posting on this thread.Most Canadians are very pissed off, myself included, and we expect with our tax rates to have at least a 3rd rate military.
To: coteblanche
WHOA!! Don't take offence from my last post. It sure wasn't aimed at you!;^)

"The Mathurine...remembers Dieppe...
While not old enuff myself to "remember" Dieppe (I was born after WWII), I have certainly heard of that battle, and of the great loss of life suffered by Canadian commandoes, who battled bravely against overwhelming odds. Canada has as fine a military tradition as the US, but in days to come, more than tradition will become necessary...
