Another difference; pronunciation of some words. Creek = creek to Canadians and creek = crick to some Americans.
Roof = roof to Canadians and roof = ruff to some Americans.

That is why I told you to keep up...slow one.
Poppa tomato and Momma tomato saw baby tomato lagging behind during their walk. Poppa tomato turned around, went back to baby tomato, smeared him all over the sidewalk, and said, "ketchup!"

Wrong about what?

You're the one who says we keep invading countries to more or less feel better about ourselves. It is apparent that you are the one that feels like you have to ridicule another country because you feel your's is lacking.

I've been around here for a long time...believe me, you are not unique.

Then I must be mistaken. The US does not invade small third world countries with alarming regularity. Nor do they take it upon themselves to covertly or otherwise support the overthrow of regimes that have displeased them. If I feel that my country is lacking in any way it is in this aggression against those with whom we do not agree.
Your implied claim to superiority based on seniority would do you well in any union hall.

And still no difference, the words are pronounced the same here. :) Just depends where you are.

You're welcome.

Cuba - CIA backed Bay of Pigs 1961

Dominican Republic - USMC 1965

Nicaragua - CIA and "advisors" to contras 1980s.

Not to mention all the fun and games in SE Asia.

Just for the record, the USMC never ordered or backed a invasion of anybody.

Not saying we don't throw our weight around but it is not because of an inferiority complex or a superiority complex. It is just the way we do things. Take Grenada for example...what were Cuban soldiers doing there?

What do you mean? Canada should be more aggressive with countries whom they don't agree?

The only one claiming to be superior is you.

Didn't you say something like...

"Americans think they live in the greatest country. Canadians know they do."

Who is claiming superiority now?

I am just saying I have been around here awhile and I know your type and you are not unique.

Who did Lyndon Johnson send into the Dominican in 1965? Or Reagan into Grenada in 1984? I believed it was the Marines, but if it was the Army, then my apologies to the USMC.

No, just your lack of knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and chain of command. It is no different in Canada. The military cannot order itself to go anywhere.
