I didn't put that little Canadian flag there.
Well you're fully able to switch it to something else.... maybe Botswana?
And I'm sorry you're uncomfortable with the reality that CAnadians don't think and havent for a very long time.
Sorry, your reality is not in phase with my own.
How do you think successive corrupt governments have been elected in this country?
LIberals and Conservatives? The same way the Republicans and Democrats do..... so if we don't think and the above is the end result, then the US must not think either. Then again, this occurs in every country.... the UK, Australia, etc.... so I guess none of them know how to think either.
But then again, I have never voted Liberal or Conservative in my life.... so by that reasoning, I guess I think after all.
Why do you think that Canadians aren't buying Candian produced goods but flocking to buy junk at Home Depot and Walmart that's produced in third world nations?
Because we're poor?
I dunno.... I don't shop at either of those stores. I buy what I need, when I need it. I don't splurge or buy something based on it's brand name or where it came from or its price.
Why do you suppose there are line-ups around Timmy's to gulp down a coffee that's been provided by slave-wages in fields far from you cozy community?
Don't honestly care.... I don't drink or eat at Tim Hortons, so once again, your generalizing doesn't apply to me yet again. Also.... where is our country different in these aspects compared to any other country one can choose out there which does similar or the exact same?
But then again.... if I was to
"Think" about the question, People generally goto Tim's for their cheap coffee, because it's #1 - Cheap and #2 - People need a cafine fix for the morning..... oh... #3 - People are addicted to cafine and perhaps the nicotine they slipped in there a few years back.
Why do you suppose it's accepted by Canadians that twenty-two years later the monkey-farts that call themselves CSIS and the RCMP fall all over each other avoiding the issues of their entrenched incompetence and failures...from Air India to Mayerthorpe to pension fund fraud etc. etc. etc....
It's not accepted, but the difference is people need to know what they can do in these matters. If the organizations set out there to protect and inform us are not protecting and informing us.... then we should be firing asses left and right until we get answers..... meh.... jail some too while we're at it, make examples.
If there is nothing we can do in the existing form of government, then we make a new government that does.
How do you accept that year after year Canadians are content to live with escalating costs for everything while Americans hold us to "agreements" they're willing to break in a heart-beat and gouge us all at the gas pumps buying gasoline made from oil they purchased from Alberta?
I never said I was content with this way of life and escalating costs, have you even read any of my posts in regards to that and the solutions I presented?
The above is also why I have been saying in here that we should be cutting from the US. In fact, I've been saying this for years, long before I came to these forums, that's for sure.
Action and Response..... if you want to be taken seriously in markets or just internationally as a strong nation, then you must not be scared of taking action and holding people responsible for their own. If the US is screwing us over, if they are backing out of agreements and contracts, if they are taking more from us then we are getting from them, then that is their action and thus, we should have a response..... the response would be punishment for such violations and restrict further trade and interaction until those attitudes and actions are resolved/corrected.
Canadians are stupid Paxius because they're unwilling to take a stand on anything. They're sheep who embrace their ignorance.
As Bender once said "You don't see me not complaining."
You don't see me hiding away or sitting on the fence on topics here do ya? I present solutions as well as complaints, regardless on how foolish or crazy those solutions may sound.... at least they're something.
Unwilling to take a stand on anything? Sheep who embrace their own ignorance? There is one Canadian Trait I'll admit I see in these forums a lot.....
The constant complaining about everything that's wrong in the world and yet presenting no solutions to the problem..... just complaining. Case in point: You complaining about Canadians, yet produce no solutions to the problem..... you just moan about it.
Stop stating to me the obvious or what you think is right and wrong, and present solutions to the obvious. That's the problem with Canada, if anything.... We'll state the obvious and complain, but bicker too much about the problem and what it exactly is, and we forget to find a solution/resolution when we're all done with it......
I think we all just smoke too much pot.
