I love the way hes not speaking to the Canadian Parliament for fear of being heckled - hes not a statesmen... he couldn't handle it -.-

I'd guess that the secret service might react more strongly to that than the Mounties typically have.

its pretty dumb to think canada would put up any fight against america, regardless of intelligence.

however, the fact that we dont immediatly resort to bragging about whose ass we can kick is a sign of our civilization.

The fact that we wouldn't make jokes of arresting your leaders, especially because they seem so intent on allowing draft dodgers and criminals escape to their country, may show a level of more maturity. And if you did take our President, you can guarantee the Marines would be at your doorstep.

I didn't realize North and South Dakota were concerned about our (non-nuclear, BTW, as if you care) submarine fleet. Do those pobuckers think we'll launch torpedoes inside of one of their drainage ditches? From inside their bathtubs?

The Canadian Forces have never once in its history owned or expressed interest in owning a Nuclear Submarine. You sir are folly, and your opinions meaningless. Furthermore I would like to say that the reason for the fire on the HMCS Chicoutimi was the fault of the British Royal Navy as they failed to install the proper electrical insulation. Thus, on behalf of all Canadians I would like to take this opportunity to call you a fool!

Um first off a draft dodger could go to any country, but Canada's closer (psssst ...and hippies don't have a lot of money). Second, why should Canada be held responsible for rounding up people that the US chased out? Third I don't think you should try and brag about the maturity level of the average American citizan. That "article" was a well thought out piece of satire, in America alot of the satire is just terrible (Jon Stewart, The Onion, and sometimes SNL excluded). Do you remember that stupid "Come Mister Taliban" song?

And last you seem to have missed alot of the points in this thread, which is "There's more to being a country than being able to kick everyone's ass" although if you missed that there's probably no point in trying to argue the point.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Well considering that if we had had socialized fucking healthcare my dads legs would have been amputated, my mom's seizures from her head injury would have been a lot worse, and I might have lost an eye from the same car accident that my mom get her head injury from I'm damned glad we have privatized healthcare.

That is because everyone (and their dog) has at least three or four. If Canada were to gice every drunk raving lunatic a gun there would be a lot of guns there two. This is a little bit of an exxageration, but it is to make a point. I am not against guns, just playing devils advocate (my favorite hobby). Besides what will a .22 or even a .45 do to a tank. Not much I am afraid. :sniper:

Your avarage Dakota hick doesn't hve an Abram or a LAW missle. I for one would not aprove of taking the country to war over the arrest of one person, even if that person were the president. Wouldn't matter who the one person was. But, you honestly think the Dakota's could take on a nation, you are welcome to try.

As interesting a topic as this is, I sense a lot of Canadian to American hostility on this board. In light of a few things, I feel compelled to respond. The americans here claiming a war would result seem to forget that their nation is almost divided right in half on the political front, and strongly divided at that. You wouldn't have the whole country backing you like you might think. It might even prove the excuse for a second civil war, the real winner of which would be Canada since it wouldn't be busily destroying itself and could sweep up afterwards. Secondly, on a historical note, no one won the war of 1812. The outcome might have been different if Britain hadn't been busy with Napolean at the time but as it stands both sides lost much and gained nothing as all political boundaries were reset.

As it stands now however, both countries rely on each other too heavily and are too similar for a war to evolve, no matter how arrogant the americans or how much Bush is hated in Canada. Hopefully the west will never experience an internal conflict again.

You’re an idiot mate. The fact is, yes you have more M1 Abrams tanks, but last I checked Canada had better Schools, Hospitals, which I find more important that a Military force as big as Americas. I guess though when you live in a Nation hell bent on pissing other nations off it must be important to spend those billions of tax dollars on the military instead of teaching children and saving their lives. But I guess every American citizen is rich and can afford good schooling and hospital care.

Yes, schools and hospitals are more important than tanks.
The problem is, the rednecks don't believe that. Obviously, the rednecks are the majority, seeing as we elected Bush.
And that article rocks. I was really hoping that it was true. But no. :headbang:

Yeah I know I would prefer to live in a Nation that doesn't attack others so it doesn't require billions of Military money every year and that money can go to Hospitals and Schools which I and my fellow citizens can use. As you said, the rednecks don't believe it, which is why they are mostly as dumb as a door post

And yeah I was hoping it was true ...one can dream

The USA has some of the highest per-capita spending rates on education in the industrialized world. There's problems with the sub-university level, but its not that there's not enough money.

Actually no. The United States did not win the War of 1812, because it had not achieved a single one of its objectives. If the United States of America won the war of 1812 I would be waving ol' glory...Canada, The Natives and Britain won the war of 1812, they accomplished the objective of defending their homes. The United States lost the war of 1812 when it ended in a stalemate.

It was a diesel SSK, and that makes it worse. The Canadians can't figure out how to run a friggin' diesel. The reason they don't use nuclear power is because they don't know how to run a reactor. I'd stand by the safety record of the US sub fleet, NO NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS in 50 years and 4 months of operation.

A friggin' diesel? Diesel?! Tha's embarassing. A Diesel/elc sub is so simple to maintain!

Yeah, but we Americans can be really proud of winning a battle after a war is over. Just because that was the best we could do doesn't mean we didn't win!

Guys, argue all you want, but get your facts straght.

War of 1812: America invaded British North America (Canada) for the land now occupied by Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario. The British, Canadian militia, and Native forces beat the US back, at which point the British Empire decided to retake the US, the Canadian Militia expressed that they did not approve of this, and the Native forces pulled out alltogether at this point. Thus leaving the British army to fight for themselves and once again be beaten back. As more and more Canadian land was taken the Natives and Canadian militia stepped back in full strength and got back to fighting, the war ended in a stalemate as the borders were the same.
Technicly, Canada won as we stopped the US invasion (The starting point of the war), and technicly America won as they stopped the British invasion. The only looser is Great Britian.

The Subs: Britian sold Canada these disel subs that they gaurenteed were safety checked and were set for service. I know one of the Engineers the RCN sent over to England for a month to assist in the conversion to Canadian specs for the subs to come here before we continued the conversion, and he has personallt told me the British said they had checked all the wiring and systems. The fire however, was caused by faulty wire insulation on the British side, which last I checked met with British standards, but not Canadian standards.

Nuclear Power: Canada has no interest in nuclear powered weapons or weapons systems, however Canada is the worlds leader in Nuclear research now. As proof of this, the CANDU Reactor (Canadian Deuterium Uranium) is considered one of the safest and most advanced reactors in the world, not to mention cheaper then most commercially avalible American reactors. And last time I checked, many American Nuclear Power stations were upgrading to the CANDU, as well as several classes of US warships had been planned to be built with a simmilar design, or upgraded to it.

From what I've seen in this thread so far, while maybe not possessing more intelligence, though that may be disputed, Canadians definitely destroy Americans when it comes to spelling and grammar. Maybe other nations like us because they can actually understand the printed materials we send to them. :)

And thank you for mentioning the CANDU reactors Dostanuot Loj. I was just about to do that myself. You seem to know your Canadian history well. but yet you forgot about Saskatchewan, that big, flat stretch of prairie between Alberta and Manitoba. I don't think the Americans would just leave millions of acres of land alone. We're easily over looked, I know, but it happens far too often...
