Because you knew damn well what he meant in the first place.
He was wrong in noticing that every time a nation tries to take back control of their wealth they get labelled as evil?
If Americans knew more about the rest of the world.....

Of course I did. He meant...
He says clearly, we have a central bank, and we don't control our resources. Shall I post all the legislation regarding control of our resources?
Iran and Venezuela, have central banks. As I so aptly proved.
Where's the issue?
Yeah they do have central banks but they are publically owned as well as their resources. Our Central Bank is publicly owned too but we don't own our debt through our bank. How is that good for Canada as a whole?
There ya go. That wasn't hard was it. Thanks for finally conceding that I was right.
I hope getting PWND by me, doesn't ruin the rest of your day...
Uh huh. Oh you got me big time. I'll never live such pettiness down.
Is that why you won't touch on the ownership and control aspect that Angstrom was eluding to?

Ya, I know, it's become common practice.
Especially when you do the same thing almost weekly.
What control thing he was alluding to?
Why are you asking me? You're the one that said he was eluding to it. Although I suspect you meant alluding. But I try not to point out such silly things.
Right on. Another polka by the dancing bear.

Just for ****s and giggles we'll add in the "ownership" of the Central Banks so you can catch up.

Is that your Native name? Very cool. Funny how they always seem to lend something to the character of the person eh?
dancing bear is so apropos for you.
What does that have to do with central banks dancing bear?Quote: Originally Posted by AngstromAS long as they know we have a central bank and we don't control our own resource thats all they care about.

You already conceded...
Your reply...There ya go. That wasn't hard was it. Thanks for finally conceding that I was right.

Thanx for coming out petros, I still hope getting PWND by me, doesn't ruin your day.
Even if I were it wouldn't bother me one bit. If a SpEd thinks he one upped me then so be it. I'll give a SpEd his day in the sun.
Excellent, you agree that you won't live down your pettiness.Not at all.
Despite their outward appearance, these are positive steps you're taking petros.
In my case, I began spending the summer with my paternal grandparents in 1945, and spent at least a month (usually 2 months or more) of every summer in Canada till 1958 (my grandfather died that December).
So, I was pretty familiar with Canada, much more so that the average American kid, and even more than many Canadian kids. He worked for the CPR, and we traveled all over the country on railroad passes. We went from Nova Scotia to Vancouver, hit all of the cities, and most of the Canadian National Parks. I got to see where my great-grandparents lived in Wallace, Cumberland Co., NS, where my mothers family lived in Tilsonburg in Oxford County, where my Loyalist Wright's (my mother was a Wright) lived in Durham County, etc., etc.
I probably traveled around Canada far more than most Canadians did in that era. And, being a dual citizen from birth, I was also rather familiar with the Canadian governmental system too. (So you can imagine how upset I was when I discovered that the Canadian government had stripped me, my 6 siblings, and tens of thousands of other of their Canadian citizenship. But, that's another topic.)
But, very honestly and without bitterness and the usual jokes and snide remarks:
Why should most American pay any significant amount of attention to Canada? What really makes Canada important to the world as a whole, and to the USA in particular? (And don't say oil, because most people don't really know where oil comes from, nor do they care, unless there is a shortage.)
So come on all you Canadian zealots. Give some VALID reasons just WHY the average American should be knowledgeable about Canada?
