Yes, this is true, but when the bullets started flying, they left. They did not stay to fight against us.

Ironic a member from Ontario thinks that the liberal minded folks are in the minority, considering its all the liberal minded folks IN Ontario and Quebec that are the ones who keep shoving Liberals such as Paul Martin and his former boss Jean down our countries throat. As far as annexing Canada, just take Ontario and everything east of them (you can have the 3 territories as well, might be a good stategic area for you guys, and then Alaska won't be so lonely)Leave the 4 western provinces to seperate on their own, and we'll all go from there.

If the 'left' is the minority, the 'right' sure is a SILENT majority.

Thats the biggest problem..we are far too silent. PASSIVE MAXIMUS.

I have to be careful what I say up here because it gets twisted and construed as racial or prejudice and the whole meaning of the effort gets washed away in the media without any chance of being known for what it really was intended to be.

We have such a scandal up here in our governments yet nobody is EVER held accountable unless a chosen individual takes the fall as a scapegoat.

Here in my province, provincial funds are misappropriated [is that a word?]more often then ever and it always gets swept under the mat for the taxpayer to absorb. The gov publicly announces they are doing a study and implementing changes. Guess who pays for that?

I still use the standard scale of measure but metric is more prominent in the USA now then it has ever been. The sport of Strongman is primarily metric at the world level. The shows I put on are listed in pounds and kilos.

By the way...the correct spelling is CANUCK EH!



Who got the picture of our sub?

Scotty

p.s.
There was a discussion not long ago where BC, AB and SK would look at becoming states. The issues of healthcare, education and free toques stalled the effort. LOL

Now you did it Scotty...you will now get audited by Revenue Kanada, the banks will have 'accidentally' lost all of your money, the RCMP will raid your house, but they will be in plain clothes without a warrant, and take all your air intakes.

Heck the Canadian engineers I have to deal with can't even use metric. I had to convert the measurment for them when I only had access to a metric rule.

Let me preface by saying that I am not racist. However, I bet if you were to see these "Canadians" that are fighting against the coalition, they would look very shall we say...middle eastern. They may carry citizenship but only for convenience. They are probably collecting EI or welfare and billing us for health care benefits while they're there .

You got it.

I knew a person that worked at immigration in Canada. I was told the desk would be piled with at least 5 stacks of files from people wanting to become Canadian. Then I get told that theres at least twenty stacks of files on the floor and this comes in constantly. This is an investigators office and its one of MANY. When word gets to the higher ups of the delays and who is 'paying' to be in Canada...the files although never investigated are cleared for entry. What would it matter? They are already in the country.

When I say they 'pay', they contribute to society by opening a business at or above a set minimum $ investment. I was quite surprised. NOT

Why are there these guys in red uniforms on horses standing beside the trees in my yard?

No black suburbans here. LOL

That's funny. Maybe if the British won, we would have been.
