As I thought, tobers fear of me is going to prevent him from stepping up, lol.

They are?
Hey! tober does too!

Why would he get anything? He wasn't even a good actor. All he ever did was play John Wayne. One reasonable guess is that through his fiction he made Americans feel manly. Mighty weak culture.
I've been caught before using the "I heard" card. Now, even if I'm positive I am right, I double check.
Missing the point, eh dummy. No surprise.
We are so glad you feel that way. Like I said we keep how nice Canada is a secret to keep the riff raff out.
It is precisely because the US has an elected head of state that makes them so much more democratic than Canada where for some reason we are stuck with an unelected inbred foreigner for head of state.
Nope, he was an icon that loved his country and served it in the way he could, through the silver screen,
You probably won't understand, but we do the same thing here, with the Order of Canada, lol.
Nowhere near as weak as your posts, lol.
He does that a lot.

That is so funny I almost fell off my chair laughing. You guys are so self-centered and focused on what you think of as past glories. Nobody thinks you are traitors. Its your culture, a chip on the shoulder carried by Americans world wide. I think the most accurate description in terms of pop psychology is "insecure".
Pay no attention to taxslave. He's a hippy living on an island backwater sucking on BC bud and claiming the tax structure is unfair to him.
I knew you were stupid but I didn't know you were that stupid. I pay enough taxes every year to keep 3 of you welfare bums secure in your entitlements.
Don't know about the Drake hotel part since the only Drake I remember was in Vancouver but hey what's a few miles of water when you write fiction? I do however remember his boat in Pt. Hardy in the late 70s and if he was buying beer in the Seagate I missed out on it.

Now I won't apply this to the collective consciousness of all us Injins, but no one wanted to be John Wayne when we played cowboys and Indians.
The cowboys never won, lol.
Not to mention he wasn't very popular among Native Americans.
I can imagine he wouldn't be. Native portrayal in film and television was probably a hard stereotype to overcome.
We never played cowboys and Indians. And I never remember my brothers playing that either. Cops and robbers maybe, playing soldier but never cowboys and Indians.
And it's not that we were all 'enlightened' and stuff, I just don't think Westerns interested us. Lol.
Hmmmmmm.... when "whitey" plays that it's called perpetuating racist attitudes. What is it when the "red skin" plays?
That was how I remembered too although we had a few ore cowboys where I grew up.
Somewhere in the back of my mind there was a comment JW made in the late 70's that pissed off a lot of Canadians. Something about the vietnam war and draft dodgers I think. Anyway he weighed in with his half cent about Canadian business.
I used to enjoy burning covered wagons and scalping John Wayne when I was a kid too.
It's time for you to stop listening to North American historians, who tend to romanticise North American history and give North Americans a sense of victimhood.
The reality is that the British looked after the Native Indians and gave them their own reservations to live in outside our North American colonies.
When the Yanks stole our colonies off us, creating the USA, they then weren't content with stealing British land and wanted to move their borders westwards. "Manifest Destiny" they called it. This push westwards encroached onto the Native Indians lands which had been granted to the Native Indians by the generous British. So what happened? The Yanks took the Native Indian lands, incorporating them into the fledgling USA, and massacred many of the Indians in the process. There's a reason why so many Indians tried to massacre Yanks in the old cowboy movies.
Many Americans and Canadians seem to forget that vast numbers of Native Indians were allied to the British in their fight against American nefariousness. It was you lot many of them hated. They quite liked us British, though.
It wasn't canada's Head of State which didn't give a **** about them. It was Canada's Head of Government, whom you lot elected.
You really need to start learning how the Canadian governmental system actually works.
Nazi Germany was a republic with an elected Head of State, but you'd be daft to point to that as a shining beacon of democracy.
Have you ever noticed that it seems to only ever be republics which become dictatorships? It never happens to constitutional monarchies.
The fact of the matter is that the US is NOT very democratic. As not only Tober, but also myself, have pointed out, Canada is far more democratic than the US is. So too, for that matter, is Britain.
In fact, most of the top ten most democratic countries in the world in 2012 are constitutional monarchies, and four of the top five most democratic nations in the world - Norway, Sweden, Denmark and New Zealand - are constitutional monarchies. I doubt this is a coincidence. I think they are very democratic precisely because they are constitutional monarchies.
And how does the "great democratic republic" the United States fair well on the Democracy Index? It ranks as the 21st - yes, the 21st - most democratic nation in the world, behind even countries like Uruguay and Mauritius.
France, that other supposed beacon of great republican democraticness, fairs even worse than the USA. It ranks as only the 28th most democratic nation in the world, just behind Cape Verde. So much for the Revolution.

Four of the top five most democratic nations are constitutional monarchies, and so are seven of the top ten. Nine of the top twenty are constitutional monarchies, which is very good whenyou consider most countries in the world are republics.

Oh look another comedian out of work.
LMAO!!!
I'm not under any such delusion.
It's time for you to stop listening to British historians, who tend to romanticise British history and give Britain's a false sense of noble superiority.
Nope, we haven't forgotten.
Ummm, CDN, denoting Canadian, Bear being the English translation of my Native name, you've only been on this site longer than I and we've actually discussed my people, the Native, vs your people the British a number of times, and yet you still seem confused as to what I am. I suggest you take a nap.
Not really. Especially when the British were the hammer that drove the nails into the Haudenosaunnee coffin at the League of nations.
You may want to educate yourself a little more on how the First Nations view Great Britain and the Crown.
No, he was right.
Yes, really. There were Native Americans allied with the British against the Americans in both the War of Independence and the War of 1812.
They didn't seem to hate us that much.
And, as I've pointed out, 96% of Native Indians were wiped out by Europeans BEFORE the British arrived.
And most of those that were wiped out were wiped out by diseases the Europeans brought with them, like smallpox, rather than the Europeans intentionally killing them.
