Canada Day!!!!

[ZapCzar]

.

I see Canada as freedom. I can go anywhere I want (my govenment never restricts my movements unlike the US government), hyphen Canadian.


Maybe they just don't care if you come back? hhmmm?:p

[WCLR]

I'm celebrating being truly Canadian, thanking God I'm not from the USA.:)

You are celebrating by posting on an AMERICAN message board that is owned by a guy in the state of Colorado. We are thanking God YOU are NOT from the U.S.

[Squizzy]

Great miracles have occurred. Despite the introduction of some Taker ideas now and then, America has mostly been a leave-us-alone country. That is why, in a short period of human history, we exploded into the most prosperous, productive country in the history of mankind.

We're on the precipice though. The Takings Coalition is having a great run of late. The Takers are led by Barack Obama, a charismatic figure who favors ideas that, in a nutshell, will impede individual liberty and restrict our pursuit of happiness.

As much of the world is emulating America's leave-us-alone success -- many countries have slashed taxes and reduced government meddling to unleash the ingenuity and productivity of their citizens -- we're fast headed the opposite way.

Hey, it's the Fourth of July. Let's re-declare our independence from cockamamie government-meddling concepts.

For goodness' sakes, just leave us alone.

LOL! Oh man. :D

I had a busy day Saturday, but I thought about Candian Lineman. I had 23 chickens to butcher and after I had done a couple I realized that I hadn't quit feeding them soon enough.

I'm glad you are not from the USA too!

All the Canucks I ever ran on to seemed to like American money just fine. All those Canadian enertainers and movie people seem to like it pretty well to.

Maybe when we use up all their oil they'll be in a better frame of mind. If all the native Americans had kept the Tories out it would probably be a better place. Bet they wish they had.

Seems to be some UAW assembly plants up there also. If memory serves me it seems we got your Limey cousins out of a hellofa bind in the 1940's also.

Had to look it up. Seems your country's population is less than the state of California. Therefore you're not to significant on our radar.

That's a plus in my book though. Must be nice to live where there's not very many folks. Makes for some clean air and uncluttered country. Hell you can be 40 miles from nowhere down here and damned if you won't see a Wal-Mart bag hanging in a tree. Disgusting. You can tell when the grass for cows is gonna be good here. If it's about beer can high in the bar ditches by the end of March it's gonna be a good spring.

Ok, bright spark from Sheveport,LA, if you can actually read and understand what I wrote above lets hear your knowledge on a foriegn country like Canada. Too hard?? Lets try what you know about California, or Washington State, or let's try Montana. New York perhaps?


I'll wait.............................................. ....:D

Like I said before, you celebrating Canada day on an American board (a country that you claim you cant stand) is kinda ironic huh?

Just continue posting, you'll bring out the idiot in yourself in no time. Matter of fact you already have.

I have nothing against Canada, just morons like you:eek:

[Stick-it]

Where's JB when you need him?

Happy Canada Day...

This was 35 years ago, but it is still the same old shit, Bash the USA.

June 1973

Good reading, from a Toronto newspaper's editorial page!

Widespread, but only partial news coverage was given recently to a Remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of His trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record:
This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as Most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the Earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were Lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in Billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of These countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining Debts to the United States.
When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it. When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans. I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States Dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC-10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American planes?
Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon — not once, but several times — and safely home again.
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the American who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke I can name you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those.
Origins: On 5 June 1973, Canadian radio commentator Gordon Sinclair decided he'd had enough of the stream of criticism and negative press recently directed at the United States of America by foreign journalists (primarily over America's long military involvement in Vietnam, which had ended with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords six months earlier).
When he arrived at radio station CFRB in Toronto that morning, he spent twenty minutes dashing off a two-page editorial defending the USA against its carping critics which he then delivered in a defiant, indignant tone during his "Let's Be Personal" spot at 11:45 AM that day.
The unusualness of any foreign correspondent — even one from a country with such close ties to the U.S. as Canada — delivering such a caustic commentary about those who would dare to criticize the U.S. is best demonstrated by the fact that even more than thirty years later, a generation of Americans too young to remember Sinclair's broadcast doubt that this piece (which has been circulating on the Internet in the slightly-altered form quoted above as something "recently" printed in a Toronto newspaper) is genuine. It is real, and it received a great deal of attention in its day.
After Sinclair's editorial was rebroadcast by a few American radio stations, it spread like wildfire all over the country. It was played again and again (often superimposed over a piece of inspirational music such as "Battle Hymn of the Republic" or "Bridge Over Troubled Water"), read into the Congressional Record multiple times, and finally released on a record (titled "The Americans"), with all royalties donated to the American Red Cross. (A radio broadcaster in the Windsor/Detroit area named Byron MacGregor recorded and released an unauthorized version of the piece which hit the record stores before Sinclair's official version; an infringement suit was avoided when MacGregor agreed to donate his profits to the Red Cross as well). It gained additional currency when it was dusted off and circulated anew in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. in 2001.
Sinclair passed away in 1984, but he will long be remembered on both side of the U.S.-Canadian border both for his contributions to journalism, and for his loudly proclaiming a friendship that few at the time were willing to embrace.

Hell yes I used Google. You think I know the pop. of Canada or Calif. off the top of my head?

Canada seems to use quite a few American aircraft in their military also. Another stat from Google and very surprising. There were more Americans killed in WW2 than Brits. Hells bells give credit where credit is due. I know they're just falling over one another to work in Canada. Ha!

[duckhunter]

1/2 of all gun deaths in the USA are suicide.

4/5 of all gun deaths in Canada are suicide.

Looks like you are better than us there too.

[duckhunter]

Perhaps, just perhaps if you were to read your post before submitting them you would detect a fight in your writing. You can call us all "cowboys" if you want for our reaction. But remember, we love cowboys in this country and we see it as a compliment.

I own 500 acres in Canada and love to go there. I spend my time there with me Canadian friends, I don't need to import friends to be occupied there. In my travels across Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba; I have never met anyone with the distain for the US like you.

I wish I were celebrating in Ontario with my friends today. Usually I make a week out of it and we celebrate Canada and Independence Days. Just like good neighbors should.

[wtdoor67]

There's a lot of different stats available. Just depends on whichever one you bring up. No bragging at all. Just trying to state facts.

Americans have always helped the British to a great extent I think.

Since they've only had electricity in Canada since the early 50's it looks like they'd be grateful for Americans showing them how to build powerlines.

The US transferred 50 Destroyers to Great Britain in Sept. of 1940 and Lend Lease was instituted in Dec. of 1940.

[wtdoor67]

Hell most of the Limeys killed during the Blitz was because the Germans kept hitting those pubs. According to statistics their losses would have been about 50 percent less if not for that.

The only Canucks killed were those that fell in front of a bus exiting a pub.

Me got to get my little pole chokie #4 before I climb that big girlie boy pole. Wah, Wah.
