Beautiful country. The people? Not so much. Bunch of drunken losers like their criminal ancestors. But I don't want to spoil Australia Day. We need to fully back Australia against evil Chinese aggression too
Where'd you learn history?What is now the USA was Britain's penal colony before Australia was.

The vast majority of colonists who settled in America were fleeing religious persecution, or otherwise were not criminals but people in search of livelihood and fortunes. That's the American Dream. If the original American colonists were all a bunch of thieves and murderers how did they create such a great nation? How did they have such beautiful ideas about freedom and liberty. How did they write a document, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, not to mention the Declaration of Independence, which centuries later is still the ideal for the civilized world?America and then Australia were penal colonies. It's where we sent our convicts, like theives and murderers.
Well I'm definitely not talking about the GTA, the most sophisticated and educated part of the country. The GTA is basically the New York of Canada. It has historic communities of Jews, Italians, Greeks, Irish, South Asians and Caribbeans. It has the best universities, the intellectual nerve center.Sounds almost like you are talking about ontariOWE.

I'm skeptical about that 50 thousand figure, but for the sake of argument, 50 thousand is nothing considering that the population of the colonies in 1776 was 2.5 million.The Founding Fathers of the United States were slaveowners.
Britain sent 50,000 of her convicts to the American colonies.

Regarding slavery, that's just a red herring. Most of the world had slavery in those days. Britain abolished slavery in 1833. The US completely abolished slavery after the civil war in 1865. A mere 30 year difference, is that really such a big deal? Britain had less pressure to maintain slavery because their economy didn't depend on it. The cotton plantations in the South was the reason slavery persisted a little longer in the US
