Canadians live under a dictatorship, according to one-third of American eighth grader

We’ve suspected it for some time, but according to these latest findings we are confident that studying Canada isn't exactly an area of emphasis in elementary schools south of the border.

Probably smarter than most adults.

You don't know squat. Free trade was Mulberry's baby, Trudeau's constitution has never been approved by Quebec so is not really our constitution. He never brought to a referendum so has not been approved by the people.The charter is a flawed document that needs serious revision.
Your rose coloured glasses are getting foggy. Your hero is doing everything you said he isn't and you are too blinded by hero worship to see it.

Right on all counts now again remind me why Harper is the worst PM in Canada's history .

Reminder, it isn't over yet now is it?
Penny for your thoughts: Kosher Seal of Approval for PM Stephen Harper?

The riding of Mount Royal is up for grabs this fall with Liberal MP Irwin Cotler stepping down.
About 30 per cent of the riding identified as Jewish in the last census — making the electoral district one of only a handful in the country where that community can swing an election if it votes en masse.
The Liberals have held the seat since 1940, but Montreal's influential Jewish Community Council appears set to give its stamp of approval to Harper.
​

The council is a religious organization, primarily concerned with certifying whether products are kosher and on Thursday's evening it will give the prime minister its King David Award.
​

"The King David Award is presented to an individual who is a light unto the world," reads a description of the honour on the event's Facebook page. "One whose courage, strength, intelligence and faithfulness are examples and inspirations for us all.

Law or no law, Canadians better not criticise Israel - Al Jazeera English
Is Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper inching towards criminalising criticism of Israel?
Since first elected in 2006, his Conservative government has been pointing in that direction. Tiny gestures to be sure. But, taken together, they trouble many Canadians.
The most recent signal came last Monday, when Neil Macdonald, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's senior Washington correspondent, reported on an email exchange he had had with a government spokesperson.
Macdonald had sought clarification on Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney's statement last January at the United Nations General Assembly Session on Anti-Semitism where he said: "Canada has taken a zero-tolerance approach to anti-Semitism and all forms of discrimination including in rhetoric towards Israel, and attempts to delegitimise Israel such as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement."


Inside Story - Boycotting Israel

Macdonald wanted to know what exactly Blaney meant by "zero tolerance" and how he, the minister responsible for law enforcement, intelligence and security, would enforce it.

I wouldn't worry too much too much about what they think of Canada. This is a society that inculcates into its young that it is the ONLY demcracy in the world.. and its role is to be a shining example for others.. however futile it would be to emulate by those who God has NOT shed the same grace upon. :roll:

Now to the other question, is Canada being ruled by forces outside of Canada to the point the citizens are also under the laws of a different Nation. Being a free Canadian was always an illusion, the UK goers to war so Canada declares war also, there is nothing independent about that. The UK were our masters last century, this century Israel pulls our strings. If a person can't admit to that they really are fuked in the brain.

Some Canadians believe dumb things too, so give the Yanks some break.

Actually all joking aside we have it pretty damn good in this country, there's opportunity for every one who wants to get off their A$$ and hustle.

That Canada is a free and open nation run by the most honest people we can muster.

Say it ain't so. You might need help in spotting the important words go read slow. Now if this is the US and Harper is taking direction from International Corporations then this would certainly apply to him and all that he touches. The Medusa touch if you will.
Why Is the System so Screwed Up? Because Corruption Is Legal

Many of us often wonder how our system of government became so dysfunctional. Theories abound as to why, but one thing is certain. No matter what we do, it rarely seems like the government is listening to us. If anything, when they do pass or repeal a law that the vast majority of the voting public wants them to pass or repeal, it seems like they only do it when it happens to coincide with their interests (or the interests of their financiers).
The truth of the matter is that our government is corrupt (I know, big surprise). But more importantly, our corruption doesn’t always take the form of shady backroom deals like many of us imagine. It’s actually right out in the open for all to see. The reason why our system is such a racket, is that in America, corruption is perfectly legal.

Except for Indian and Muslims you mean. Perhaps you went to American school. When 1500 get laid-off they do not get hired anyplace else, the join the other 30,000 that lost their jobs recently. You do know the only growth industry in Canada is prison and rehab centers, the gap is narrowing and that is actually a good thing as treatment for mould exposure will replace anger management classes while being fed the toxins that make you angry.

Kiev seems to be trying to escape from their new found freedom. Perhaps we can send Harper there as the IAm-bad-as$-idor and he can help them as much as he has helped Canada.

Yeah, and we're increasingly giving gays equal rights, which really has to scorch your shorts, Westboro.

Give them the jobs, that would certainly solve the worlds population problem.
