No, we took it back from the British (I know this will irk you till your dying days). The French sold it to us, the Spanish lost and the Mexicans lost as well.
No, you did not, you really don't know much about anything it seems.
Please cut and paste where I insulted your ancestors.
That's what was issued in one year, if you scroll down further it is upwards of 130,000,000 active passports.
I sometimes wonder whether they still teach history in American schools. How could the Americans "take back" the United States from the British when there was no United States before the British arrived? All that was there was a few barbaric tribesmen killing and eating one other when the British arrived and set up plantations. Stop taking notice of all that romanticised American history claptrap and start studying real history for once.
Yes, we did.
Come on. It was only several posts back. We all saw and read it.
Of what? Your inbred royal family?
And your point is what exactly Blackleaf?
Sorry Sons of Liberty, he's got you there, as weak a post as it was, lol.
BTW Blackleaf, English origins are found in the Germanic tribes.
Sorry about bursting your bubble.
That he lives on a little rock where you have to leave to fart. The island I live on is almost as big as England and doesn't have a million people. Also you can drive through 5 countries in Europe in a matter of hours while even the skinnyist part of Canada or the US takes a few days.
I wouldn't. I like free elections.
And what's so great about driving for days?
We have free elections in Britain. I don't know about Canada. But that's not my problem.
Australia has Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State but that doesn't stop it from having a low making it COMPULSORY to vote in general elections.
Peace.
Actually if you don't know, it kind of is your problem, lol.
It makes you a great big hypocrite, lol.
We like Britain do not have free elections. We somehow still have your sorry hereditary head of state. Don't rub it in, it is a source of great embarrassment to us.
Well- that means that you are some what different form the rest of the British then....
Even Harold McMillan agreed with Atlees' contraction to island outposts of trade Remember "You've never had it so good?"
Come now, Alf- the empire had some good points, but by the mid 1950's, it was long past due for cashing in.
The Mau MAU WERE SPAWNED BY THE HIGHLAND CLEARANCES OF KENYA. which doesn't justify them- but what else was there?
The white zones of Kenya were ceded, not purchased. sins of the 1910' unfortunately inflicted on the next generation. Kenya is now 'multi ethnic', and rebuilding.

I'd rather live in a country where I can travel through five countries in a matter of hours with all their different languages and cultures rather than living in a country where you can be in the middle of nowehere, travel for five days, and then still be in the middle of nowhere in the same country.
The distance from my house here in Bolton to Rome is almost the same distance as it is from Montreal to Winnipeg.
It's about the same distance from my house here in Bolton to Berlin as it is from Neilburg, Saskatchewan to Vancouver, British Columbia.
And imagine all the things I could see if I drove from Bolton to Berlin, or from Bolton to Rome.
Well, I do know.
I know for a fact that Canada has free elections, and even if you don't it's not the Queen's fault. It's your government's fault.
That's the beauty of people, we're all different.
I like the peace of wide unpopulated spaces and untouched wilderness.
Awesome.
That's not what you said a minute ago.
It's alright if you like that stuff, but I am quite disturbed at the thought of an area of land the size of Europe having around half the number of people living on it than Britain has.
Plus, Europe has some wide unpopulated spaces and untouched wilderness, despite there being 739 million of us in an area almost exactly the same size as Canada. That's because we tend to live in big groupings called cities, leaving lots of countryside and wilderness in between.
It is for me. Imagine if I drove from Bolton to Rome. Imagine all the ancient cities and vineyards and ancient ruins and peoples and cultures that I'll see.
It's much better travelling in Europe than it is in Canada.
I think I was being sarcastic.
I can never remember hearing news reports about a government coming to pwoer in Canada without ever being elected.
No, it is more like criticizing their father for raping their mother 9 months before they were born. If that were the case I would most certainly have a big problem with my father - even if the act resulted in my birth.
I don't need to leave my country to so, and up until the EU was created, I didn't/don't need a passport to do so either. Which of course was the point you missed.
You think?
When you're sure, let me know.
It's like criticising your father for dragging your mother out of barbarity and into civilisation in the years running up to your birth.
Barbarity?
LMAO!!!
My people had a participatory democracy long before yours even considered removing the power of the Monarchy, slightly!
My people fought for food and territory for pure survival, while yours used press gangs and wholesale slaughter for financial gain.
Barbarity, lol. That's rich.
So? I think I've proven my point that there's no advantage in living in a big country with no people in it. There's nothing to see. I'd prefer to travel through Europe and its plethora of medieval cities, ancient cultures, languages, costumes etc - which we have in abundance even in an area the size of Manitoba - than to travel through Canada when all you see is some lakes and a few hills and the odd redneck.
Yeah. Canada is a more democratic country than the USA because its Head of State is the Queen rather than a political non-entity.
You asked a question. I answered it.
Is this really that confusing to you?
LOL, if your mind gets any narrower, it's a possibility that it might slip out by a hair follicle, lol.
Well, there it goes, lol.
Sure, if you say so.
