Canada has always stood by us. Canada is one damn beautiful country! You stood with us on 9/11 and in Afghanistan. We are wrong about Iraq. It would be wrong for you to support that. Some asshol*s can't get that through their flag-waving brain-washed central ganglia. And Canadians have a great musical tradition, too! Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Stan Rogers, Ian & Sylvia, Anne Murray, Celine Dion... Sure the RCMP's horse around a lot. But that's because Canadians take their fun seriously. Check out the beer and whiskey! World class! Canadians are our brothers. Never forget. |

Wow, another one of these Canadian posts that I so loathe.... Canadians and Americans are essentially the same. We're all essentailly Europeans, the US has a larger black population, Canada a larger immigrant pop (by percentage). We essentially share the same economy, the same landscape, the same language, much of the same culture, but society here leans more to the left. I know many Americans, I talk to at least 130 a day at my job- politics is the only real divide. |

If they think we're as bad as their press and government makes us out to be, why don't they impose sanctions on us... Maybe those mounted freaks should invade Montana or something...

And the vote here is pretty close. Polarized, just like the US election... between hating Canadians, and liking them. ALTHOUGH AGAIN, we must look at the internals. How many people who say they like Canadians are actually Canadian? Seems a little unfair to count those votes since the question is really getting at what non-Canadians think of Canadians... In which case, it's not good news for you Canadians. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS you don't have to fight! So don't worry... we'll make the world safe for you. |

I don't hate Canadians, but I really hate their politics sometimes. But you know, it must be nice to have the option of not doing anything in the face of conflict because you know that America will take care of it. Then you're free to criticize and still reap the benifits. Just like most of the nations in Europe! That's probably the crux of the issue: Americans are so angry about Canadian politics because they are the nation the most like us and yet they follow the "Europe crowd" of criticising America and doing nothing to help our efforts. You guys switching to Euros any time soon? BTW, I have alot of friends that are Canadians, though most of them are from the west. I hear that they're not so liberal out there. |

And yes we criticize America on some decisions, but not all only some (mostly Iraq). And by the way there are 30 million in Canada and in the United States over 200 million. I would be willing to bet there are more Americans that criticize and disagree with U.S actions more than there are Canadians (and they are probably more like AMericans more than anyone else). So why is it ok for Americans to criticize but not alright for foreigners to make the exact same criticisms? You are a little too sensitive. And you take this much personally as you and I have absolutely nothing to do with the direction our Country's moves in. We are just people, so take it easy and enjoy the ride. Soon this will be a 3 Super Power world and trust me we will be loving the shi* out of eachother then. |

I have no hate for canada so there is no place for me to vote. I have served with their military and Know they are there when needed. I have many friends from there, I have recently only aquired a dislike for a foul spewing poster, who thinks americans are all the same. Wrong. This is North America, there is no way to seperate the two countries EVER. Canadian soldiers are in my prayers with all the allies that are in harms way. If a few canadians would lighten up on the bush american bashing this type of post would not be nessissary. Thus the negative poll, you either Love canada or you hate, I do neither. Friends don't have a need for that. My canadian pictures are too big to post. I am trying several to see if they are small enough, sent by friends in canada. and you sure as hell have a point about the three power world.

men... basically all the times that i am on this website, trying to discuss Ishues with " AMERICANS" there are Canadians all over the posts. Am I in the wrong website? for god sake... This Canandians say the hate us and doesnt like us, but they feel they have the right to disrespect us in the web... what a f***. I personally like canadians, and their beautiful country. I think they just ashame to be nice to us, since europe and the rest of the world dislike us. We have to understand them, their dignity is too "high", but still they need to show some respect. not like " Canadians hate americans" he always burn flags... and dude whats the point to hate us? is it becouse your think that doing that, you are gonna get more love by other nations? and you maybe right... but I wouldn't like to see a day when Nationalism awakes in Americans.. because for all the things you are saying now or showing you are going to regret them... but whatever...

Fact is, I do like canada and I like most Canadians I've met. In no other than that I meet likable and not so likable folks from all over. maybe its my wrong, but I make fun of everyone, myself included from time to time... I don't hold it against Canadians that the canadian government chose not to send troops to Iraq, heck, Canada is doing more than its fair share in peacekeeping around the world. After all, its easy to think Canda must have a huge army...but lets face it...Canada's population isn't that big and its territory is HUGE...I would be careful before I'd send most of the army abroad..there's a lot to guard and protect right at home and to be honest, I think Canada's resources are a bit limited in that regard. Nope, let others do the work in Iraq. Canada has done its fair share more than once and there is no need to demand you guys make that acrifice each and every time someone else calls on you. and I still like maplesyrup |

How's this for a reason? Does it count? O canada how very Chi-Rat/Villi-pain-in-the-*ss of you. "Prime Minister Paul Martin said Tuesday he does not believe the U.S. ballistic missile shield will succeed in shooting down incoming rockets, as he threw up new roadblocks to counter President George W. Bush's strong appeal for Canada to join his continental defence plan. Canada will not put any money into building the missile shield and it will not allow Washington to station rockets on Canadian soil as the price of participation in the multibillion-dollar program, Martin told Global National in a year-end interview." |

Here's some more info to brighten the day: "TORONTO (AP) - Canada's security net is full of holes, with most border crossings guarded by a lone staffer and airport security so lax that missing security badges and uniforms recently turned up for sale on eBay. A new Senate security report calls for reform, a boost in defense spending and improved cooperation with the United States. Canadians have relied too long on luck to avoid a terrorist attack, it says, scolding: "Unfortunately, luck is notoriously untrustworthy." The 315-page report by the Senate Standing Committee on National Security and Defense, the first released under the year-old government of Prime Minister Paul Martin, said most of Canada's 160 land and maritime border crossings have only one person at the posts. "The potential damage to the Canadian economy and other consequences that would come with allowing a terrorist to infiltrate the U.S. through Canada are massive," the report said. Securing the 4,000-mile border is paramount, to prevent terrorist attacks and protect some $1.4 billion in trade each day between the North American neighbors." Thanks Canada, I feel better knowing your on guard. |

No sh*t Sherlock. Tell me what part of this you don't understand. If canada was attacked, the US would see that as a direct attack on us. Your gov't knows that and it's why you don't have a military nor and defense system. Got it?

Canada has never needed a large Military. Because you are ournorthern neighbors, if the old USSR was going to get to us, they had to go threw you all first. Realizing this, Canada and America cooperated on many military projects. The point is, the united states is a super power. There is no way in hell that we are going to let a threatening foreign power attack canada and control our northern border. This is simple reality. Canada does not have to worry about an actual military threat because it is on our northern border. Whether Canada was on our northern border or not, we would still need a large military. We didn't build this military to protect Canada, it just serves in our best interrest to not let them be invaded. On this point, Canada does not really owe us anything. If they chose to realize that they would be defended and moved funds from defense to social programs, that would make a lot of sense. If your best friend is Lenox lewis and he's also your roomate, do you really need to learn how to fight and devote your life to fighting? No way, because anyone trying to get in your house is already going to be beaten badly. Best regards... Last edited on Thu Dec 16th, 2004 09:37 pm by OB |

Well put OB, we didn't ask for US protection if you feel you have to defend your Northern border then defend it but don't criticize Canada just because of our geographic location. Funny ho wno one ever voices the same criticism of Mexico... |

In general canadians don't migrate to america and americans don't migrate to canada because its pretty much like one country (with the exception of quebec). I think because of the smaller defense Canada is able to provide more social programs so a lot of americans like to say "well, if we didn't have to pay all this money for defense then we could have all that too" The brother and sister occasional have little spats over things that trully amount to nothing. In the long run, we may gripe and moan about each other, but if anyone ever hurt the other, well, they'd have hell to deal with. Have a great day |

Here are some figures that are impressive. Poll: over 40% of Canadian teens think America is "evil" by Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor, Canada Free Press Can West News Services, owners of several Canadian newspapers including the National Post as well as the Global Television Network commissioned a series of polls to determine how young people feel about the issues that were facing the country’s voters. Dubbed "Youth Vote 2004", the polls, sponsored by the Dominion Institute and Navigator Ltd. were taken with a view to getting more young people involved in the political process. In one telephone poll of teens between the ages of 14 and 18, over 40 per cent of the respondents described the United States as being "evil". That number rose to 64 per cent for French Canadian youth. . . . .the amount of anti-Americanism that was found is not surprising. What is significant is the high number of teens who used the word "evil" to describe our southern neighbour. As Misty Harris pointed out in her column in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, evil is usually associated with serial killers and "kids who tear the legs off baby spiders." These teens appear to equate George W. Bush and Americans with Osama bin Laden and Hitler, ..... The Liberal government came into power in 1993 gushing anti-Americanism. Former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s communications director, Francoise Ducros, made headlines when she referred to President Bush as a moron. Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish was picked up on a boom microphone saying, "Damn Americans — I hate those bastards". Not only did Parrish not apologize for her remarks, but she later appeared on a television show hosted by alleged comedian Mike Bullard and laughed about the incident. Parrish played to the anti-Americanism of the youthful studio audience by saying that she couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t do it again. Not only did then Prime Minister Jean Chrétien not take any action against his staff or caucus members, he himself engaged in America-bashing. The depth of his anti-Americanism surfaced shortly after the 9/11 attacks when he blamed the arrogance and greed of the West (read the United States) for those attacks. - - - - - - - I like this one too, shows such togetherness, don't you think? Canada Free Press . . . "anti-American Liberal backbench MP Carolyn Parrish, who said the election demonstrates that the U.S. is "completely out of step with most of the free world."
- - - - - - - How much does America pay to the UN? Was that 25% of the total upkeep bill, why yes I think thats just about right. Good to know it's going to a good cause. Canada Free Press "I love that we are Canada and we are going to stay that way," were among the first words Martin uttered as he dropped the June 28 Canadian federal election writ. More UN than U.S., Martin is playing the anti-American card. Last Thursday, he was in Toronto unveiling a $125 million gift for the economically challenged Toronto waterfront that includes a $3.3 million United Nations-endorsed University of Peace campus. Martin has United Nations clout through UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan . . . . |

Our siding with Isreal in the Palestinian conflict? Our giving aid to every distaster that happens in the world? Our promoting free trade to third world nation to increase the worlds standard of living? (this causes americans to lose jobs in order to improve third world countries economy) Try this one on. I do not like the UNs foreign policy. The rest of the world wants to work things through the UN bureacracy; however, it doesn't work. We have been putting pressure on the UN since last February to do something about the genocide going on right now in Sudan. What has kofi Anna decided to do? That's right, send more advisors and do another study! Remember, the war in Iraq was unpopular; however, we did the go it alone thing with our allies during Bosnia. Big suprise huh? The difference was, the UN liked Clinton, as he pretty much went along with whatever they said. Bush didn't. He dropped out of the Kyota accord which meant a whole lot of third world countries would not be recieving billions of dollars that we would have to give them to buy their "credits" for polluition. Funny thing is, other countries like China didn't have to. Sounds fair right? Well, if you are a third world country looking for a hand out, it was a good deal. So, the world snubs us because we don't like their policy towards us? That's fine. The UN is a corrupt buruacracy that we waste to much time and money on. To be honest, I'd assume if we just dropped out of the UN altogether as it is irrelevant. The UN is only relevant so long as the US choses to play it's little games. When we withdrawal, it will no longer have any meaning. *bong* Last edited on Fri Dec 17th, 2004 03:35 pm by OB |

obs wrote: OB wrote:Ok. Which policy? Our siding with Isreal in the Palestinian conflict? Excellent choice. Time for a little history lesson here. Once upon a time... In The land of the UN, they made a resolution. They called it UN resolution 181, or the partition of Palastine. They was to be an arab state (palestine) and a jewish state (isreal). But then, the good Palestinians decided they didn't want the jews there so they got with their friends the syrians, the iraqs, the suadis, the jordaninans and in 1947 started this thing called the Arab league. The goal of the Arab league was to drive the jews into the sea. So they gatherred up all their armies and attcked little isreal. But what happened then has a true david and golliath story. Little Isreal defeated all the arab armies and conquerred most of their teritory. Now, they could have kept all this land, but they gave it all back to the Arabs in exchange for peace. The only land they did not give back was the west bank (that under the partition of palestine was a jordanian terority) and the gaza strip (which was an egyptian terority). Wanna know even a better secret? There has never been a country called palestine! The name philastania was given to the area after the jews rebelled against Nero Cesear. After he defeated them and drove them out of Isreal, he wanted to name the land after their greatest enemies who were the Philastines. The Philastines were a greek sea faring people. Gliath was a Philastine. After that, the area was a part of the turkish ottoman empire for the next 200 years minues litle parts when it was conqueered during the crusade. When it comes to world opinion about Isreal, the world needs to shut up. Everyone is so quick to point out that america gives Isreal billions every year. What they fail to realize is that the same amount is also given to Egypt as part of an agrement to get them both to end their last war with each other. So, please tell me where my logic is faulty for thinking that we should support Isreal in the face of all these countries that are anti-semetic and want to kill jews? I know, Isreal has no oil reserves so we should side with our financial interrests over right and wrong as the rest of the world has done. But ya know what? I'd rather drill in Anawar. again, let me know where I went wrong... |

Whether everyone agrees with it or not is irrelevant. It has already happened. Canada decided not to support this cause and that is that. These are past events that cannot be undone, so discussing them is irrelevent. So my point is, while yesterday I stood up for Canadians in a post if you remember, today I am saying Canadians should stand up for americans and not bash us. Respect is a two way street and I try to be respectful of all foriegn countries and cultures (with the exception of cultures that supress women). You can be against american foreign policy if you choose to, you just should not be disrespectful to America or her leaders as America and Canada have one of the best relationships that any two countries in the world have.

And it is a war we can win in less than 1 day if we choose to. actually, I think the war can be over inlike 23 minutes if we want it that way. But we are a civilliazed people that value human life. Look how many soldiers are going to court martial for mis-treatment of prisoners and such. When is the last time you heard any arab leader (besides the Iraqi prime minister) condemn the insurgents car bombing civillians? What is funny to me, is how many people in the world want the Americans to lose in Iraq just so they can say "see, we were right!". The price of that bragging right will be a taliban style government of fanatics in Iraq or another ruthless dictatorship. I guess that is better than a Democracy. Even though you may not support what started the war, everyone in the world should support the Iraqi people. They just want to live in peace (except for the Sunni's but that is a whole other debate) Best regards... |

And if the UN is defeated, what would they do? I know, things are not simply black and white.

There ARE numerous UN sanctions against Isreal. Yet somehow Bush only felt obliged to enforce those against the man who tried to kill his Daddy. It's time to enforce the santions that are already in place against Isreal.
Maybe, but it is questionable. One side has it's boot on the other's neck. What I see is the rest of the world wanting an even playing field between the two sides. Right now Isreal has no reason to stop it's oppression, it has the upper hand, and the world's only super power telling them it's OK. Last edited on Fri Dec 17th, 2004 04:44 pm by Great White |

OUR support for Isreal goes back a lot further. Yes, the arabs hate us for supporting Isreal; however, if you had read my earlier posts about UN resolution 181 you'd have realized that this whole conflict was started when the Arabs decided to form the Arab League in order to drive the jews into the sea. As the "palestinians" are not really a nationality (they just happened to be living their at the time England broke the Ottamen empire into the current middle eastern boundries). Many of the "Palestinians" were Arabs from throught the middle east who migrated there in the late 19th century and early 20th century as Jewish immigrants from Europe began settling there and brought with them irrigation, medicine, industry and science.

It sounds all nice and good to want to "stop" the suppression of "palestinians"; however, a lot of Isreal's "tough" measures are to protect its citiziens. Sure, they can't get to their jobs in Isreal because Isreal doesn't let them in to work. But why is that? It's because under the guise of going to work, suicide bombers were sneaking in and killing Isreallis. Now their economy is crushed. Oh well, maybe suicide bombing wasn't such a smart thing after all. Bulldozing terrorists houses is fine too. It's a punishment for being a suicide bomber. You're family will be homless if you do this. Which again spreads the misery of Palestinians. But again, oh well.. DON'T SUICIDE BOMB!!!! And assasinating Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders is not a "criminal" act. Terrosists by default have no protection under geneva convetnions and thus are afforded no protection. I know it doesn't sound nice though does it? But I guarentee if we could assasinate Osama Bin Laden, we would in a heart beat. People need to know both the truth and history behind the Isreal/palestinian conflict before just shouting "Isreal is criminal" Last edited on Fri Dec 17th, 2004 06:24 pm by OB |

England finally brought this issue to the UN as UN resolution 181. It seperated the land into two sections one jewish and one arab. When Isreal declared indepenced, the arabs attacked Isreal INCLUDING palestinian militias. The previous mentioned 5 Arab nations and Palastinian militias were defeated. The US HAS vetoed all SANCTIONS that I know of. What you sighted were RESOLUTIONS, many of which simply recomend Isreal and its adversaries come to peace talks. Resolutions and sanctions are two different things, hence using different words. Historical facts make things look a lot different. The UN is anti-semetic. Thats the only way I can see that everytime Isreal gets attacked by Arab armies, it somehow gets a security counsel resolution against it or proposed against it. Hopefully one day, people will be able to get over anti-semetism and except Isreal as a nation. And, everyone says "Isreal" is commiting war crimes, please tell me which ones so those can be disputed as well. And as to the snithe comment about me needing to read history.. I do it all the time, hence why I have facts to back up my cases and don't rely on public opinion and "what 95% of the world" thinks to tell me how to think. |

All true, but missing the fact the the declared state included BOTH the Jewish and Arab areas offered in resolution 181, not just the Jewish portion The US HAS vetoed all SANCTIONS that I know of. What you sighted were RESOLUTIONS, many of which simply recomend Isreal and its adversaries come to peace talks. Resolutions and sanctions are two different things, hence using different words. I thought we were discussing Resolutions, not sanctions Historical facts make things look a lot different. Regardless of who was right or wrong in 1947, we need a solution TODAY. Placing the blame entirely on the oppressed will not get us anywhere Hopefully one day, people will be able to get over anti-semetism and except Isreal as a nation. And, everyone says "Isreal" is commiting war crimes, please tell me which ones so those can be disputed as well. Are you calling me an Anti-Semite? IF so, that's not right, to say the least. First my posistion is that BOTH sides carry the blame, not just Isreal. Second I say Isreal holds some blame, not Jews. I have a political position, based on politics, not religion.
Um, you say I need to learn history and that's OK, but I say the same of you and that's snide?

I'm new to this forum and am so far find the reading very interesting. Personally I consider Americans good friends and our greatest ally. I've personally travelled a fair bit about the USA, have worked jointly with US Army & USMC soldiers through my years in the Canadian Army and currently live right near the Canada-US border in Niagara so I get to the states a fair bit. I think I've got a fair understanding of the US society & psyche. A few observations of mine from reading this forum and from past experience; -Many of the "anti-Canadian" posters on this forum have completely no idea what they are talking about when it comes to Canadian facts and other international issues. Its downright humerous hearing some of their outrageous statements be it concerning terorism, Canadian defence, sovereignty, health care, etc... I seriously doubt many of you have been to Canada let alone find it on a map. -Statements on Canadians are "pussies,wimps,etc.." WTF is that all about, where can you even begin to back those statements up with a shred of fact. Read some history books on Canada's participation in War and peacekeeping (also known as doing the dirty work the US is too afraid to do). -The (US) nationalistic attitudes fused with lack of knowledge of international affairs and issues is kind of disturbing especially when you see the current administration of GWB saying the same things. -Heres a challenge for some of the outspoken American posters who state the US is the best country in the world. How? By what indicators and list them (having a population of 290 million and a huge armed forces is not an "indicator"). Things like average life span, health status, level of education, economic output, etc.. would be objective facts (hint: the UN has indicators it uses to rate a countries "status" and guess which one has been 1st or in the top 3 alot). -Last observation is that most Canadian posters and also many American posters seem to have their facts straight because perhaps they don't only watch FoxNews to get their news fix or listen to and believe their current Commander in Chief. |

I don't think that many of us really dislike Canada...I do think that it is natural for people to be somewhat defensive...Canadian politics seem quite different than our own and we take a great deal of criticism from Canada and Canadians, much of which is unwarranted., i.e. the poll some months back where in a very high percentage of Canadian school kids thought that the "U.S. was evil", For Goodness sakes, how would you respond if the shoe was on the other foot? I think that it often becomes an issue of national pride. |

Sure ANI I agree, there are Canadians who should tone down their ridiculous rhetoric. We are actually fairly different societies but look the same on the surface so we're going to have ideological differences and its often fun to point them out. Unfortunately the average nationalistic, right wing American (as evidenced on this board) spews out some really absurd stuff. For us (Canadians) its like having a best friend (the US) who says outrageous, ridiculous things that incite anger in others. You get kind of embarrassed and wonder what the hell is wrong with him, maybe even tell him to shut up but hopefully still remain friends. |

Canada is a beautiful place where we teach our kids in school to hate America and what it stands for not realizing that we're just pissing in the wind. After our last election which won the thieving Liberal party a minority govn't, the leader of the Canadian Muslim congress happily informed the world that the muslim vote from the last election won over 100 seats for the liberals party. Most of them in Toronto with a few in both Montreal and Vancouver. If you Americans really want to know why our Liberal dingbats in Paliament go out of their way to poke Americans in the eyes with sharp sticks when they're down is because they are deathly afraid of offending their Muslim voter base which keeps them in power. Its come to a point where we are second class citizens in our own country. They are bringing "Sharia' law to Canada that would allow them to treat their woman here the same way the legally do back home. You can no longer say Merry Christmas or the lords prayer in schools but schools and universities have to supply the Muslims with a place to drop and pray. In Holland the muslims who dissagree with free speech cut peoples throats in the street. I see that happening here in the near future. You Americans should be proud of having enough balls to do what nobody else does.Never mind Canada, we are so hopelessly lost bilingual multiculturalism. Maybe when America finished straightening out the mideast they could buzz by here and liberate us. For the most part Canadians are good people and hopefully we can get rid of our lying, thieving, terrorist appeasing liberal Govn't bastards before they sink what was once a great nation. Now its a cesspool. Poor fuc*ing Canada! |

No problem with Hamas, but you have a problem with us? Let's hear it... 1) On 9/11 we opened up Canada to all incoming American air traffic. People took complete strangers (many of them Americans) into their homes without question. 2) Canada was beside America in the Gulf War of '91 with a full compliment of air and naval support. 3) The Canadia JTF2 (our version of Special Forces) was one of the most respected ground forces in Afghanistan during the search for bin Laden. 4) Canada has never and will never support any country if support is not warranted. Prime Minister Chretien asked Bush for proof of WMD's in Iraq and Bush's proof wasn't good enough. "Proof is proof; and when you have good proof, then it is proven." Frankly Canadian's (even those outraged by our refusal to join your so called "coalition of the willing" ) are now thankful that we didn't participate based on the American prpaganda that was being served up here. 5) A Canadian was just appointed by the American government to oversee the entire budget for the rebuilding of Iraq and our government agreed to let the person do it. (Name escapes me right now.) 6) Where the hell was America in WWII? Canada begged for help. Along with Britain we were being wiped out. You guys didn't show up until it was too late. You were more than happy to sell us bullets though. 7) You better speak to some war vetrans from Korea and Vietnam and WWII... The stories of the toughness of Canadian soldiers is legendary. Stop by the Netherlands some day. Or go to Italy where one Canadian solder either captured or killed more than 200 German soldiers alone. It's not that we DON'T support America, it's more a case of WE WON'T support America because the majority of voters are against the war. You guiys elected a pro war government we elected an anti-war government. Shaddup already, it's how the American idea of democracy works. Learn to deal you whining little puss. |

But you know, it must be nice to have the option of not doing anything in the face of conflict because you know that America will take care of it. Then you're free to criticize and still reap the benifits. Just like most of the nations in Europe! I guess were not as alike as you thought. Perhaps American's such as yourself shouldn't expect us to be "most like you" based on geography. No one country in entitled to anothers loyalty. My family came from Europe and I support Europe ahead of America most of the time. We've talked about switching to Euro's simply because the American dollar seems to be worth;ess compared to European currency...  |

I just want to clarify a statement you made WHOOPDIE-DOO about Canadian troops not being trained in conventional warfare and being a force that is trained in guerilla warfare. This is absolutely incorrect, the Canadian Army is small, highly trained professional Army that thats focus is conventional warfare, we are not trained as guerilla fighters?!?!? I can safely say this as I spent 20 years in the Infantry and actually as of last week am returning to active service, I guess I just have it in my blood. I can also safely say we do have a higher "average" level of training of our forces members then what is seen in the US military but Americans don't take this the wrong way. It is more to do with the "philosophy" of our forces, if we are going to be small then be highly,highly trained. |

In speaking with friends who were in the forces (three different men) they all indicated that their training was much different than many other military forces. Question: I understand that the Canadian Forces don't take anyone who is not a high school graduate. Do you know what percentage of enlisted men have college or university degrees/diplomas? |

Just a clarification, not a criticism but yes we are trained at a higher level especially at an individual level. British and Canadian soldiers are at about the same level of training, US troops are wel trained but not at as high a level as they can rely more on mass numbers and the US Air Force. |

There are things I don't like about Canada, but what does that matter? I like to poke fun at Canadians, but it's all in good fun. Like, why do you guys say eh?

You need to understand that Americans and Canadians fight amongst themselves like relatives do in a household. However if and when push comes to shove from an outsider you can pretty much count on the fact they will indeed become one again. Same with the different political groups in this Country. We fight, fight, fight amongst ourselves but let no outsider enter into that fight or we will again become one to defeat the enemy. Its hard to explain but thats just the way it is here.

There's LOTS of words so it might take you a little while, try not to move your lips. http://www.answers.com/topic/constitution-of-canada After reading this you will realize your previous statement is ignorant. Here's another link regarding politics. I think it's you, SamHouston, who lacks in debating ability. You're quite good with colors and emoticons though. http://www.answers.com/topic/canadian-and-american-politics-compared Both of our countries have pros and cons. I think it's great that we can be proud of the countries that we live in. Our two nations are tied together in so many ways and to say that one is better than the other is a matter of opinion. To make "ignorant" remarks about constitutions or other things is silly. The initial thread was regarding the Iraq war and why Canada didn't jump in with the US. Canada did not join the war efforts in Iraq because the Canadian government felt there was not enough evidence presented by the US to invade. I think most Canadians can agree with this and are happy with the decision not to join but at the same time saddens us when we see US&UK troops losing their lives. We were with you on 9/11 and Afganistan and when push comes to shove our two countries do come together. Canada won't blindly obey every request from your president so if that makes us anti-american then so be it. |

Canada was not allways a shi*hole but it sure is now that we've decided to belittle Bush for having the balls to do what we can't do with our 2500 men in arms. Anyone who can't see where the liberals have brought us have fuc*ing rocks in their heads. We went from being admired around the world to being laughed at. Poor fuc*ing Canada. And with a new generation of liberal dingbats ready to take over I see no change for the future. |

You Americans have us pegged right from the stop. These brainwashed college students don't even pay taxes so anything they might have to say about our sad state of govn't is irrelivent. "A man under 30 and not a liberal has no heart, but a man over 30 and still a liberal has no brains" Sir winston Churchill. For you Americans that don't realize that Canada is bigger than the US, people in western Canada are not liberal hypocrites. We stand next to our American brothers. Our problem is that Quebec, which is the cornerstone of anti Americanism in Canada, only voted liberal because they coddle them and give them everything they want in exchange for their votes. The best thing that could happen to Canada is if Quebec were to fuc*off on their own then we wouldn't have to put up with their incessant whinning. |

(FOX isn't propaganda... no.... not at all.... it's reliable as... as.... as... a pinto in a rear end collision.) Canada is more respected now than ever before. I applaud our government for doing the right thing. Apparently however, these nutcases say we're wrong for defending our government. They're right. We're wrong. Okay fine. Whatever. The bottom line is this... As much as America thinks we owe them some debt of gratitude, we don't. America has never helped us before and we don't need them now. If they wanna cut trade, go right ahead. It will be America that suffers, not Canada. We have no problem opening up further trade with China, Russia and Korea or France or Germany, or England or Australia... We don't need anything they have to offer. (Especially because all they offer are corrupt governments that border on those lead by Stalin) I don't think there's a Canadian that's afraid of an American trade war. Your country doesn't produce anything that I couldn't get directly from any country you have outsourced to.... Why argue KD? They're chumps. A nation full of Neo-Con chumps. A nation of puppies lead by one drunken dog. And we all know what happens to dogs... They get beaten. |

The Americans wern't angry at Canada for not joining the war in Iraq because they knew the liberals have been destroying our military for the last 20 years and we really didn't have anyone to send. They would have been happy if we could have sent a field hospital or something along those lines. What they're pissed off about is politicians like that pycho bitch Parrish calling their president a bastard and a moron along with her "coalition of idiots" comments. That was to much and the Americans are justified in retaliating in anyway they see fit to get these dumb fuc*s up here to open their eyes and shut their big mouths if they don't have the balls to support what they're doing for the free world. So my fellow Canadian back stabbers, go straight to fuc*ing hell where you belong you bleeding heart bastards. My own countrymen now make me so sick I could hurl. You Americans are so lucky you just don't realize it. At least you can be proud of your country. I can't remember ever having reason to be proud of mine save for what our soldiers did in 2 world wars. The liberal idiots of the day make their sacrifice seem all for naught. The bastards are selling our country to the lowest bidder. |

I hope Canada doesn't get as polorized as the US. It seems to be infectious. Hey, BC is a 'have' province so I don't think you are supporting us. You are lucky with all the oil revenue and with oil prices going up you'll be rolling in it. Does that make you look down on others? I imagine the US loves the fact that Alberta is more conservative since that is where much of their oil comes from. I wouldn't doubt the US encourages it as a matter of strategic interest (just a thaught. The motive is there) I think an all out trade war would be horrible for both countries. It would be a lose-lose and I don't see it happening. Worlds largest trading relationship.. Not sure who your calling dumb so I won't bother responding to that. |

Quit your whining VanHeaterBox, if there is any province which has been the economic engine of Canada it is Ontario. We've been pullinG our weight and helping the "have not" provinces for a long time and personally I don't mind this.

Well you should because the next terrorist attach on the US will in all likelyhood come from Canada. Our open door policy means any east Asian country sympathetic to the Palestinian cause can come in by the thousands and inundate so called big cities like Toronto where the liberal vote festers the most and voila, one liberal minority govn't on trial for lining their pockets as well as their Quebec friend's bank accounts with 250 million in tax payers money. In most civilized countries that regime would have been toast. Theres definetly something wrong with you people. Or are you just suckers for punishment. t |

The Reform Party took the political right way right in the Canadian political spectrum and we all know that experiment didn't work, the PC's were more slightly right of centre and are returning to that. If they don't they will never form another Government or not in a long time, Stephen Harper has alot of work to get that Reform monkey of his back. And as far as terorists go they are in our midst but hey they are not stupid and are not easy to catch. Remember the 9/11 conspirators were living in the US for a while and none came from Canada so quit propagating the paranoia that they are spilling across our borders but we are not immune and any improvements in combatting them is welcome. |

Thieving Liberal gong show? Would you care to comment on the fiscally responsible PC government of Brian Mulroney? His legacy still haunts the current Conservatives. And as far as border security and immigration goes we can't be doing much worse then the US given the facts that the 9/11 conspirators were all living in the US (and did not come from Canada) and the current problems with massive numbers of illegal aliens they have in their country. Lastly I voted Conservative in the last election and have done so for many years. One of the problems we have with the party is the racist, paranoid, evangelical right-wing nutcases who infiltrated it and are smearing the Conservatives historically reasonable reputation. |

people keep saying canada doesn't need to do anything because they have america to protect them...my question is, protect them from what? canada has managed to stay in line with the rest of the world, not alienate or bully them they don't try and prevent homosexuals from being together, but instead wants to accept them and they don't join wars on reason that are sketchy, and that a lot of people seem to forget, turned out to be FALSE americans are generally good people, whether they are republican, deomcrat, pro or anti war, etc. but there are some who feel as if they are superior, and this exactly where america gets its reputation as an arrogant nation of warmongerers |

I think the reason we don't piss anyone off is because we don't need to. We are entirely energy independant so we can quite happily pick and choose what we do as far as foreign policy goes. Thats why we do mostly peacekeeping. The US on the other hand does not have this luxury. They HAVE to have troops over seas to protect their interests. To ensure there will be a steady source of energy. This, I think, is the biggest reason why the US is in the middle east to begin with. Why else would the US be so interested in stationing troops over there, like in Saudi Arabia. |

Lets have some respect for our fellow Canadians VanHeaterBox ,that is in being respectfull of what region they are from. Most "Easterners" think more highly of Western Canadians then you may think. The nasty "anti-Quebec/eastern Canada" sentiment that comes out of the west is just as devisive as the separatist BS that comes out of Quebec. Small town rural Ontario would be pretty hard to distinguish from small town rural Alberta. |

You think it is a conspiracy theory that the US needs oil from the middle east? At one time the US had battle plans to seize Saudi oil fields when the Saudis were in a position where they might cut off supply. It never came to that, but the US cannot afford to lose supply and will protect it at all cost. |

"former PM... Puh-Leez!!! He did some f***ed up s*** in his day... He ain't no hero. Check your facts.is not allowed to address a respected Canadian university there is definetly something wrong. When liberals or conservatives hear anything that doesn't fit their policy the just shut it out, it can't be happening.(because it's not... It's all in your Paxil altered brain you conservative twit.) This book speaks facts that you people simply refuse to face until they bite you in the ass. No surprise there. Go back to your thieving liberal gong show.? Shaddup ya sissy!!!!!! I have an education thank you very much. As a matter of fact, I do quite well for myself. Maybe you should get an education... Go to Concordia... It's not a respected university you drunken nerd. As a matter of fact I'm not sure it's even an acreddited university. Back in 95-96 it lost it's university standing cause it was such a crummy school. So basically Netenyahu went to a glorified high school to speak to a bunch of failed students. If he was such a respected man then why was he not invited to speak at UofT or UBC? I'll tell you why... Because some of us still remember watching the news in the late 70's when the idiot was gloating over the mass graves that he was proudly bulldozzing bodies into. Actually it's not that hard to get a good education in eastern canada... McGill, U of T, Dalhousie... What's your degree in? You must have at least a BA in leather chewing? |

Do you have a link for that? I'm curious about it. I guess the idea would be since the US can keep ignoring and delaying the lumber dispute (since the US makes more money the longer they wait) then we hit you where it becomes a political issue. I'd have to read more about it.. |

This same rule applies to Canadians trying to go the USA. I have a freind who was falsely convicted and found "not guilty" but was still barred entry into the USA from Canada. Blame your 'arrest-everyone' police force. We don't want you bringing your fat chicks up here anyways... |

I don't dislike Canada at all, I do resent some of the unfounded criticism from them and I do resent the lack of respect for our Country and our President. |

Don't get too upset ANI as most Canadians have nothing against Americans and many have friends and relatives in the States. Many may disagree with your governments policies but have nothing against American citizens even if you guys did invent the mullet! |

Oh ya THAT makes perfect sense! Let the terrorist in but deny Americans..Screw you Canadians! We'll party somewhere else! Sean Ok Sean, let me tell you a story. 30 years ago when I was a kid I was arrested and received a criminal record for smoking a little pot. I've long since been weened off but I still can't enter the US because when someone is arrested for any kind of drug in Canada the FBI receives all the info and prohibits entry. Before 9/11 all I had to do was apply for a Travel Waiver with US immigration at my local airport and for a couple of hundred bucks I could enter the US and it would be good for life. I didn't. Since 9/11, I need to go for 3 sets of fingerprints from 3 different agencies , send off half a dozen letters and make 3 trips to the US immigration office at our local Airport And pay $400.00 US for a card thats only good for 1 year and takes 6 months to get to me. All because I got caught smoking a joint in a bar 30 flicking years ago. So to hear that our customs agents are enforcing the same on you guys, good on you. Fun isn't it? I've since got a lawyer and have a waiver that I have to renew every 5 years. Enjoy. and pay $400.00 uUS |
