And yet I legally own a sh*tload!
If you say so, but I honestly don't believe you. Most of your personal claims are BS.

Why don't you go complain to someone who cares...
No one cares about the stupidity you write, we just laugh at it and you.

Oh, poor pumpkin, are you all butt hurt again?

Maybe if you stopped writing such stupid things, I wouldn't make so much fun of you, lol.

You got that right, Bear!

Years ago when they were surveying for a new highway in northern B.C. when the only way in or out was by float plane or chopper and the crew was living in tents. One guy thought it was very funny to sneak up to a tent at night when the guys were playing cards and shoot out the kerosene lamp over head and then laughed like hell. This guy had some kind of fetish about guns. He was a supervisor and if he didn't think the crew was cutting line fast enough he'd fire a couple of shots over their heads and laugh like hell.

And you know anything about me how? You're more delusional than clairvoyant but please continue to be an idiot.

Funny, you care enough to respond to everything and troll, troll, troll even when I ignore you.

Not in the least my little Pooh Bear! You are a loser on the other side of an internet forum, nothing you do bothers me. I just bait you for amusement when I'm bored.

Well that just ain't funny. You never fire even a pellet gun at or near someone unless you mean to hit them. I'm surprised he made it out in one piece.

By the stupidity you post. A lot of it is completely unbelievable. Not to mention the lies we've caught you in, lol.

You're more delusional than clairvoyant but please continue to be an idiot.
Oh I could never replace you.

Funny, you care enough to respond to everything and troll, troll, troll even when I ignore you.
Because it's entertaining.

I'm not surprised I had to explain that to you, lol.

Not in the least my little Pooh Bear! You are a loser on the other side of an internet forum, nothing you do bothers me.
That whole sentence says otherwise, lol.

I just bait you for amusement when I'm bored.
You honestly want me to believe you say stupid stuff that should embarrass even the dumbest person, is bait?

LMAO!!!

What do you mean by 'political suicide'? It's not like she can be voted out of office for making an unpopular choice or denying some legislation.

Doing away with the queen is rather simple and involves little effort. The Union of South Africa did it with relative ease when they became the Republic of South Africa, as did their neighbour Rhodesia (or South Rhodesia). Leaving the Commonwealth of Nations also involves little effort, as we've witnessed with the withdrawl of The Gambia.

I fully agree and I think we should get rid of her. The post you quote was in response to her action being 'political suicide' when in fact she has no political accountability.

Rhodesia relative ease? I don't think so Andem, I would suggest you read up on that a bit, even the UN imposed sanctions at the time as the British still had enormous clout.

Rhodesia was never recognised, and in turn for its unilateral declaration of independence, it remained unrecognised. UN sanctions seemed to have little effect (at that time) on its production or its economy.

I don't need to read up on that.

Point being it's not easy as you suggested. Perhaps it's simple to declare independence but unless the monarchy agrees it doesn't mean much of anything.

A head of state who doesn't care... that's deplorable, irresponsible, and flat out thievery.

And hardly unusual.

In case you haven't figured it out, those 'powers' don't exist in a practical sense... Don't believe me?

Well, what are they then? Imaginary powers?

Try using them and once the collective Canadian stops laughing long enough to catch a breath, we'll politely tell you to go to hell

1) I hope you won't tell me to go to Hell because of something YOUR Head of State has done. What your Head of State does has nothing to do with me or Britain;

2) Nothing will happen to the Queen's powers if she uses them in Canada. They are powers which have been bestowed upon her and which she has every right to use in ALL of the 16 nations of which she is Head of State. Punishing your Head of State for using powers which you have bestowed upon her is the only thing to laugh about.

We are.. And we've earned it having pulled your fat out of the fire in 2 WWs

Bull****. Hardly anyone in the world talks about Canada's contribution in either world war, because its conbtribution too both was negligible compared to Britain's.

That notion doesn't cross the minds of Canadians,

I know it doesn't. That's because many of you over-inflate Canada's importance in the world. I've seen it on this forum.

You somehow think that you are some great power alongside your neighbour to the south which everyone in the world takes notice of and thinks of as important in world affairs, when the reality is that you have a smaller population than Poland; if you were an EU Member State you would be only its seventh-largest in terms of population and seats in the European Parliament; your military power is almost non-existent; non-Canadians would struggle to find your major cities on a map; and most people think your capital is Toronto (although they aren't sure exactly where Toronto is).

but apparently, based on your fixation on it, I am guessing that deep down, you do feel Canada is more important that Old Blighty and possibly there is a little resentment on your part

Come on. Don't be silly.

Britain is a country of 65 million people, with the world's sixth largest economy. It is one of just five permanent members of the UN Security Council; has one of just two true Blue Water navies in the world; it is the world's third-biggest defence spender and has at least 225 nuclear warheads. The UK is a great power with considerable economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence internationally, unlike Canada.

Canada is a frozen backwater of 33 million people with an economy quite smaller than Britain's. Unlike Britain, Canada isn't a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Your navy has about as many ships as Britain's Royal Fleet Auxiliary and your professional army has only half the number of soldiers as Britain's Territorial Army; you are only the world's 18th-biggest spender on defence, spending a third of what Britain spends annually; you have no nuclear warheads (so, unlikely Britain, you lack the ability to destroy whole countries) and, unlike Britain,I do not think Canada is a considerable economic, cultural, military, scientific influence internationally.

So, no, I - and most people globally - do not think Canada is more important globally than Britain.

No one in Canada cares about what you or the Queen really think of our independent, sovereign nation

Yes, you do, otherwise you would probably have just ignored my post instead of responding to it.

Look... If you guys need the help - again - just ask...

What do we need your help for? So we can borrow a Mountie and a submarine with a tendency to break down?

Essentially, that is correct

1) I hope you won't tell me to go to Hell because of something YOUR Head of State has done. What your Head of State does has nothing to do with me or Britain;

Correct, unlike yourselves, Canadians fight their own fights and make no apologies for the decisions we make.

By the way, try using those 'powers' and like I said before, once all Canadians stop long enough from the hysterical laughter, you WILL be told to go to hell

2) Nothing will happen to the Queen's powers if she uses them in Canada.

Correction: Nothing WILL HAPPEN if the Queen tries to use those powers

Bull****. Hardly anyone in the world talks about Canada's contribution in either world war, because its conbtribution too both was negligible compared to Britain's.

How many monuments did teh French, Italians and Dutch erect to celebrate Britains role in the WWs?

I know it doesn't. That's because many of you over-inflate Canada's importance in the world. I've seen it on this forum.

I calls 'em likes I sees 'em.

I know that it hurts your pride to have to acknowledge it


It is one of just five permanent members of the UN Security Council; has one of just two true Blue Water navies in the world;

Too funny - you associate some kind of pride with having a permanent seat in an organization that is dysfunctional, ineffective and a global laughing stock?

Makes sense, it dove-tails with the 'contributions' that you've made to the world (see below)


The UK is a great power with considerable economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence international influence, unlike Canada.

This is what you're known for:

London 'Fatberg' weighing 15 TONNES found blocking sewers | Mail Online

Canada is a backwater of 33 million people with an economy quite smaller than Britain's. Unlike Britain, Canada isn't a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Your navy has about as many ships as Britain Royal Fleet Auxiliary and your army as half the number of personnel as Britain's Territorial Army; you are only the world's 18th-biggest spender on defence, spending a third of what Britain spends annually; you have no nuclear warheads and, unlike Britain,I do not think Canada is a considerable economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence.

Yet, you still needed to have your fat pulled from the fire by Canada, the USA and balance of colonies despite your cracker-jack navy.

... You have a track record that is quite frankly, quite poor by contemporary standards.

So, no, I - and most people globally - do not think Canada is more important globally than Britain.


... And this is the big difference between you and all Canadians... We don't worry about what other nation's think of us, but you are fixated on it




What do we need your help for? So we can borrow a Mountie and a submarine with a tendency to break down?

Hilarious... We bought our subs from the British... No sh*t that they'll be breaking down.

Too bad really, we should have learned a lesson from the group out of India that bought Jaguar and turned it into a decent automobile... Hell, even the auto that is considered the quintessential British vehicle is owned by the Germans (Rolls Royce and Bentley).
