I agree with our MP's statement, "Canadians to be a lot firmer, and a lot less compliant, with our neighbours to the south."

Tee hee, read this with a consciously perverted mind.

The quote, ""Canadians to be a lot firmer," got me cracking up. :D

I'm so immature. I like it. I'm getting over someone. Shoot meh.

LOL :D , you are sick minded!

Totally true. Don't let those corrupt fundamentalists push you around.

i.e. come save the costal cities and bomb the fuck out of the south and midwest. (I only half-kid)

Your right. Midwest shows promise. The south has been lost since 1861.

Canada should hold it's own position. We aren't an American state and we should act like it. We should renegotiate NAFTA to give us more soveriegnty over our resources, and we should stop being militarily dependent on the US.

But we also have to be careful. Our economy depends on the US quite a bit. If we push too hard we might endanger our own position.

I have no problem with canada....except with the frequency of the bastard-ass uber-nationalists come around...

I wonder - non-super-nationalist canadians, i ask you a question - Do these people bother you as much as "AMERICA- LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU Kin' GEEEEEEEEETTTT OUT!" bother me?
Why can't people just ..think instead of feel?

This document, to me is inda funny. It doesnt really affect me too much, and quite frankly, i'd like to see canada show a little more testicular fortitude every now and again. Or you could just slowly pull out of nafta, and maybe..forge a more ballsy economy?

That mad cow thing though, there was ONE reported case, for chrissakes.
it's not like it's friggin epidemic.

and despite some canadians best efforts, y'all still eat beef up there, right?

forgive me if i sound rude or even haughty, I'm really just talkin' outta my ass.

One thing though - i'm tired of being labeled a cowboy, or whatever the american stereotype is up there. I understand that canadians are a mixed lot, so why does it seem, that the view is not reciprocated?

Interesting how the Prince Rupert Daily News features a Kentucky Fried Chicken advertisement over its banner.

Question to Canadians: Would it be fair to say that Canada has been a U.S. protectorate since Diefenbaker opted to finance U.S. Missile defence in place of the Avro Arrow Program?

In December 2004, more than three years after the attacks, President George W. Bush finally thanked Canadians while in Halifax for accepting possible terrorist-controlled planes into Canadian airspace without hesitation.
That whole Halifax speech was full of thinly veiled threats. And that 'thanks' was long frickin' overdue.

I agree with this article. A lot.

I never realized how terrible our neighbours were...

The MP was responding to a string of perceived U.S. interferences, environmental abuses, violations of international law and otherwise bad behaviour towards Canada. Among them the BSE crisis — the U.S. border has been closed to Canadian cattle since May 2003 while Canada’s border continues to be open to U.S. cattle despite a confirmed case of Mad Cow Disease in American cattle in June — ignoring repeated World Trade Organization (WTO) and NAFTA rulings in Canada’s favour around softwood lumber and collecting $4 billion, as of May, in illegal duties; the discharge of a 10,000-kilogram rocket booster off the coast of Newfoundland as part of a U.S. satellite launch that released “2.5 tonnes of the most dangerous stuff known to man” into Canadian Waters; and the recent plan to drain North Dakota’s Devil’s Lake, an arsenic and cyanide laden salt water lake that would backwash into Manitoba’s Lake Winnipeg, one of the world’s largest fresh water lakes and a major tourist destination.

Yeah, thanks, assholes.

Yeah, thanks, assholes.

Well it's better we do it to you than our own selves.

Don't worry...I think the US is pretty good at causing itself damage too!

True... we are not only sadists but masochists as well

ROFL. uh... any environmental damage one country causes another is pretty bad. Even tho i'm american, i think they should reconsider doing that, or at least find a better way to get rid of it.

heh I agree

I think it sucks that much of the US' pollution is carried up to Canada on the winds of imperistic evil. ok for get the imperialistic evil part, the statement just sounded empty so I had to add some drama.

*blinks* When did we dump 2.5 tonnes of methylmercury into canadian waters?
