I think when your referring to Canadians here, your referring to eastern Canadians.
Western Canadians are respectful people but I know easterners like to call the Americans bastards, morons etc.

Where the hell do you come up with this crap? I'm getting a little sick of this nonsense and lies you are spewing.

Well, when the Americans let the easterners build their cars for them and they inturn call them bastards and morons, I would call that being hypocritical.
I guess when you grow up in a culture of entitlement, it must be difficult to see the difference between being hypocrital and being appreciative.

You are a *************, lovely how you can so casually tar all easterners as "american haters".

'"Ass-kissing bible thumping bastard"?.............Hey, them's my words. WW1 wasn't necessary either. You should get your glasses on straight, and stop trying to read and jack off at the same time...........might make for better comprehension.'

If you must insist on taking credit for and offensive and idiotic statement, be my guest!

Canadian casualties in World War I: 64,944. In World War II: 45,400.

More than 157. Was it worth it, JBeee?

Would you consider William Lyon McKenzie King an "Ass-kissing bible thumping bastard"?

If you're beginning to feel just that little bit worried about people dying for questionable causes, just kick back, grab some java and compare the death toll to World War 1 and World War 2. It makes that French Vanilla I just bought from Tim Hortons (c) go down that much smoother.

Cheers!

Ever heard of the Baghdad to Berlin Railway? Do you believe Ferdinand getting popped really had anything to do with it? Or did it have more to do with keeping the Royal Navy from losing it's bunker oil supply to dominate the Indian Ocean?

When you attempt to quote me, make sure that what you allege to be my words, are indeed my words.

BTW King was a nutjob who talked to ghosts.

After Rockefeller realized that profits shouldn't be made by killing women and children ( Ludlow massacre), he started one of the first bogus unions, it wasn't really a union, just another level of company control on their workforce.

W L Mackenzie King was imported from Canada to become the union president. Probably a good person for Rockefeller to get to know considering that King moved on to become Prime Minister of Canada.

We have a certain Calgarian on here who would probably make your head spin with the vitriol he can spew about Americans from time to time. Generalizations are rarely correct.

Mercedes Stephenson: The rebirth of Canada

When our troops first went to battle in Afghanistan they lacked the proper clothing for their mission, dressed as they were in green camouflage outfits. That, however, was the least of their problems as they first had to hitch a ride to get there. Those days are long behind them and as this article illustrates, our men and women are now recognized as being 'the best small army in the world'. By showing that they had the grit to work through the many barriers to their capabilities early in their mission, our troops have honored the men and women who went down in battle before them and they have honored us. I have nothing but admiration for them. :canada:

Ummm, and just what would you expect them to do if they saw the Russians coming ?

Canadian CF-18 fighters drive off 2 Russian TU-95 aircraft - People's Daily Online


A senior Canadian official said on Wednesday that two CF-18 Hornet fighters of Canada had driven off two Russian Tu-95 Bear aircraft 30 nautical miles away from Canadian soil.

Dimitri Soudas, press secretary of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, said the two CF-18 Hornet fighters visually identified the two Russian aircraft approximately 120 nautical miles north of Inuvik in Northwest Territories on Tuesday.

"At their closest point, the Russian aircraft were 30 nautical miles from Canadian soil," he said in a news release. "The CF-18s shadowed the Bear aircraft until they turned around. The two CF-18s came from 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta."

Soudas said the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) carefully monitors all air activities and considers all options to protect the air sovereignty of Canada and the United States.

Soudas also reaffirmed the Canadian government's commitment to replacing the CF-18 fleet after its retirement with new, highly capable and technologically-advanced F-35.

American guys had to buy their own gear too at first. North America wasn't prepared.
