There are some things about the U.S. that I will never understand. If you folks up in Canada really want the U.S. to open the border to Canadian beef again, then all you've got to do is stand up and say you are now a province of Red China.

In Canada, our government is set up wrong. We don't have an elected senate, it is a big part of the problem.

We have been working towards an elected senate for ove r20 years and the idea is starting to come into vogue in the main streem, so it will be only a matter of time...

Check out www.morealbertalessottawa.com this is a new strategy that may help push an elected Canadian Senate into the forfront of discussion again.

whats not to like?"

LOL, exactly, now you got it.

Thank God Bush provides such good opposition for the Liberal party, otherwise Chretien and his cronies would have tore up Canada by now and physicially moved it to Europe so they could hang with all their post modern mentors on a daily basis.

"Re: Petition to President Shrub," is the title of the memo, dated Tuesday, and sent to NDP legislature members and candidates by party researcher Ted Bowen. The memo was sent to media outlets by mistake. "Shrub is Molly Ivins' dismissive nickname for President Bush," reads the P.S." Should have known... this was no beef official this was the provincial NDP COMMIE government of Saskatchewan. THAT will be changing in the near future, I think. The Saskatchewan party will win, they have too.

"I suppose hope springs eternal but I fear that in this case it's a forelorn hope at best.

No, I'm afraid that Canada is destined to become Europe's — or the Islamic world's — westernmost outpost, if that hasn't indeed already happened"


Well that aint happened yet, so don't wait until that definitively happens!

Give us a hand at Free Dominion!

In the meantime, don't punish Alberta farmers who are with you all the way!

Freakin Canadians want free trade on beef? Let them pay US market price for pharmaceuticals and we’ll think about it.

"It was commonly thought the NEW Canada would be just Quebec..."

Don't forget about the Peoples' Republic of Ontario.

Someone from Ottawa was writing to a US official asking that the ban on Canadian beef be lifted (ironicly, I think the man was born in Texas, but is now a Canadian). It was horribly insulting and achieved just the opposite of what he was supposed to be doing. The thread was posted here on Free Republic a few days ago, maybe last Friday. Canadians really need to muzzle their officials or get them out of office. They do more damage than good.

Canada's not important enough to be mad at....

[Redleg Duke]

Good point. I am saddened to see Canadians hi-jacked by the French.

But we're working on that:-)

I hope you can still save Canada from the Marxists, but then again, I hope we can still save the US from the Marxists too.

I not mad at all Canadians, just those who put Cretien in power. Then again many Americans sent the Clintons to the White House not once but twice. Look at the mess both these creatures have caused.

You can spin the facts any way you wish but at the end of the day one central fact remains: Canada defines its national identity as being not-American.

From what I can determine, Canadian conservatives are mostly only conservative vis-a-vis the rest of their countrymen.

In the U.S. they would identify more with the Democrats than the GOP.

There's nothing much we Americans can do for Canada as long as Canadians aren't willing to help themselves.

I was almost tempted to post pictures from Canadian Bacon on this thread...until I remembered it was directed by Michael Moore...momentary lapse in judgement there!!

[normy]

I know engineers who paid $7,000 to come and work in Texas on a highway project I was also working on. Of course the Mexican green card costs $100, I found that odd. However the Canadians I know are strong manly men and have a lot in common with the (Conservative) American man.
I also lived in Seattle for many years and spent a lot of time in Vancouver B.C. which was nice. Conservative Canadians need our support in full force. Whats the Free Dominion?

"You can spin the facts any way you wish but at the end of the day one central fact remains: Canada defines its national identity as being not-American."

Nope, you are incorrect there, you are talking about how Torontonians and Quebecois define themselves, not western Canadians.

Thank God you didn't! That slob is disgusting, but I don't think he's Canadian - is he?

Working on that...may not happen this general election, but definitely next!
