If you are ignorant, I suppose! Folks is folks and only criteria to denigrate them is behaviour! :roll:

Then what go's around comes around after all... Best to treat them fair and with respect.

Who knows. Canadians could be next. Not sure where North we can go but heck.

I would say that after watching this video, I am so bloody happy to have been raised and schooled in Canada. :canada:

OMG!! Know wonder their economy is in shambles and they need to import people from India for technical jobs in the USA.

I wonder how many Canadians know that off our Atlantic coastline, there is an Island which is a Territory of France...

Nice Canadian journalism. Canada most certainly did have Troops in Vietnam.

Yes, Canada did sent troupes to Vietnam as part of the Paris Peace accord. The government did not formally support the war but over 40,000 Canadians volunteered and fought in Vietnam, many joined the US military to do so.

Being Remembrance Day is today.

Canadian military personnel who died while in Vietnam or other parts of Indochina include: * Sergeant James S. BYRNE, CD, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. Died 18 Oct 1965. His body was not recovered. * Corporal Vernon J. PERKINS, Royal Highland Regiment of Canada (Black Watch). Died 18 Oct 1965. His body was not recovered. * Leading Seaman Ned W. MEMNOOK, HMCS TERRA NOVA. Died 15 Mar 1973. He was posthumously awarded the Special Service Medal & "PEACE" Clasp * Captain Charles E. LAVIOLETTE, CD, 12e Regiment Blinde du Canada. Died 7 Apr 1973.

I know. Surprisingly, so did Coulter.

The government did not formally support the war...
Yes they did. They even falsified reports to help expand it.

Canada, sup-ported on this occasion by India which always found itself hopelessly attempting to balance its support of partisan Poland and Canada on the ICC, signed a trumped-up 1962 “Special Report” which purported to prove that North Vietnam was responsible for the considerable rural insurrection in the South. The report, based entirely on evidence supplied by Saigon without any independent substantiation, would soon provide the Americans with their official excuse for widening the war in Indochina. Later evidence suggested the report was nonsensical and that Hanoi, far from having organized the National Liberation Front’s rebellion in the South, was dragged along by the need not to appear to repudiate a popular revolt.

I know how hard that is for some Canadians to accept, but Canada was for a time, a willing participant in the Vietnam War.

Being Remembrance Day is just around the corner.

At least in the 'kamps' we set up for the 'displaced' the end will come quickly for them (when the gas gets cut-off as it is colder longer so the places don't even need locked gates in the winter).
The good news is perhaps they will be applying for loans so they can start their own businesses and the 'locals' will then have jobs to apply for if it is more than a 'one-man show'.
How many Canadians simply walked across the border and signed up?

Oh I don't find it hard to accept, as a matter of fact I would like to bring back the Canada we had back then in the 50's and eary 60's, compared to what we have now.

Maybe...just maybe it's not loser Obama or ******* Republicans they are running from but employment and prosperity that they are running to.

Why is everything on these boards politically motivated?

Bet not come to BC then. The idle rich hear are against anything that creates real jobs or pays over minimum wage unless it is for government employees.

Last time I looked there were two islands. Did one of them sink or move away while I was at work?

I know. Surprisingly, so did Coulter.

Yes they did. They even falsified reports to help expand it.

Funny that. Earlier this year or late last year in one thread I stated that a friend of mine served with the Canadian army in Vietnam and several people told me I was wrong.

Only Canada, North Korea and Cuba have healthcare systems that are exclusively run by the gvt.

Everyone one the of the examples you have listed combine both public and private systems.

Nice try tay - but, you fail once again.

don't fit in to our way of life.
