, lots of descendents from folks who fled the US--wanted to be loyal to Britain or too chicken to stand up to them. Either way, gutless

They're known as the United Empire Loyalists who chose to remain loyal to England and were driven out, often with nothing more than what they could carry. They lost their property, some even parts of their families , for what they believed . And then , thirty some years later, they fought back and along with those cowardly French Canadiens and savage Indians , beat the crap out of 4 American invasions. Amazing how gutless they were.

Well and the rest of the story would be...

They created a socialist empire. They rely on the United States and Britain for protection because they won't build their own military. They might actually have to stand up for something if they did apparently. But many of them spend lots of time and energy critizing our systems--health care, for instance.

Here's a thought: if the Canadians want to help us improve our health care system, let them build a military and protect themselves. We'll use some of our defense money for our health care system.
