this is a pressing issue. Ignorant Americans think Canada is our friend. They are not our friend, nor are they an ally. Look at this, they are so hellbent on flaming the American way, they don't even know what is going on in their own country. They are hate-mongering hypocrites living on land that is rightfully AMerican.

Wake up America, Canada is our enemy and war is the only way to resolve this pesky little issue.

So the citizens of a country (allthough not the offical adminstration of the country) critising another countries foriegn policy makes them the enemy.
Nope. When a nation's only claim to significance is their criticism of their neighbor, they become the enemy. When the US spends billions of dollars every year to defend North America and Canadian politicians have the audacity to personally attack our President and American people, they become our enemy. When we absorb 80% of a nations exports and they flood discussion forums to bash the US while ignoring the same issues in their nation, they are the enemy. When our neighbor that we support financially, militarily and culturally defies every stance America has made since the revolutionary war (WWI and II are exceptions, although they were forced into war by the UK), they become our enemy. When our neighbor harbors criminals and war deserters, they are our enemy. When the land that our neighbors occupy is rightfully American,, they become our enemy. They become our enemy when they threaten trade wars. They become our enemy when their political elections are based on bashing the US instead of focusing on their own issues. They become an enemy when they look the gift horse in the mouse and scream bloody murder. They become our enemy when they make every effort to undermine our war on terror.

Canada is truly our enemy...just think what the American reaction would be if it were any other nation spewing the drivel that Canadians spew. Imagine if it were Mexico.

did you know your government was spying on you?

[gary the cheater]

canada has been spying on canadians for many decades. they spied on 'communists' in the 50's. they spied on anti-war people in the 60's. they spied on quebec nationalists in the 70's. in the 90's we had the APEC mess and now it's the WOT. but this is not new and requiring a warrant from the elected minister of defence to listen in on some scumbag's telephone conversations does not bother me one bit. if you read the canadian constitition it's perfectly clear that government is elected to maintain peace and order. and like i already said.

Do you appreciate Canadians bashing America while they have the same issues that they apparantly ignore (or are ignorant of)?

What if they were attacking the president of your choice. Liberals have made it so fashionable to attack, you are blind to our true threat, canada.

As per usual for most cons,....you have no CLUE what your talking about, you're arguing based on things you hear on the radio, and too lazy to look them up for yourself.........

NAFTA signed all of Canadas natural gas over to us in the event of a shortage. A country which spends most of the winter many levels below zero, gives US its natural gas if theres a shortage.


WE are the thieves,....not canadians. Get your facts straight before you decide to get rabid.

Why I'm wasting time, replying to such inept, pompous, hot air is beyond me, but anyway:

First and foremost, the problem with Bush's spy debacle is that he did it illegally, against U.S. laws. He didn't have your Congress pass laws, enabling him to spy, he just went ahead and had his people do it. In Canada, our government had the anti-terrorism laws passed beforehand to enable our agencies to legally spy....but spy only on e-mails or phone conversations that originated or ended on foreign soil. It may be too difficult for you to grasp but do you understand the difference between legally and illegally...how about passing laws beforehand rather than not passing laws at all???? So you see, there lies the true scandal. Sorry to burst your over-inflated bubble.

Now to deal with the rest of your pathetic drivel....Canada is significant because we have an abundance of resources (resources that you need by the way), we have a GDP that's essentially population proportionate to that of the U.S., we're a nation known for our ethics, we're bigger than you, we're known for our brains, bravery, ingenuity, etc. I'd go on but I'm afraid that I'd sound like a desperate jerk, such as yourself.

When has the U.S. defended Canada? I'd be very interested in you giving me just one example. Saying something doesn't make it true. It seems to me that you're suffering from an inferiority complex and feel the need to spew your vile hatred of Canada because you need to feel as though your nation protects us....when in reality, your nation is a liability to our safety and we protect ourselves. You are aware that Canada helped create the nuclear bomb and we have massive amounts of uranium, aren't you?

You make it seem as though, your nation absorbs 80% of our resources, out of some sense of charity or obligation....when in reality, that simply means that the U.S. needs 80% of our resources to maintain your standard of living. You're welcome. By the way, when do you support us financially? Our oil keeps your economy moving....literally. Our natural gas keeps you all warm in the winter. Our electricity, keeps you on your computer. What does the U.S. have that we need to sustain us? Oranges perhaps? Well, the last ones I bought were from South Africa, so there goes that theory.

I guess you neglect to mention that over 30,000 Canadians voluntarily fought in Vietnam, which kept that many Americans from being drafted and forcibly fighting. I guess you also forgot that Canada fought in Korea and we have soldiers in Afghanistan. :!?: Canada wasn't forced into war by the UK at all! Get your history straight you jackass! In fact, the U.S. was allowing other nations to fight so you didn't have to, until Pearl Harbor.

Where are you getting this garbage about land that's rightfully American? I know you want it, because we're very valuable....but again, get your facts straight!

In ending....your garbage about Canada being your enemy was great comedic effect....I guess you ignore the obvious; that being....the only reason our government passed those anti-terror laws in the first place, was because our neighbours to the south got attacked on 9/11 and our intelligence agencies are working closely with their American counterparts in doing their damnedest to stop terrorists before they act. It hopefully keeps you guys from being attacked again and ourselves from ever being attacked....you jerk! Again, you're welcome! :roll:

No your assuming to much. What im saying is the greatest threat to Americans, is the American government. Hell considering what i just said maybe im spewing anti-American drivel. At least im will to address the truth.

I think im done "debating" with you. I need to focus on stable minds. Im not here to make friends and impress people. Im here to inform others and educate myself in what i dont know yet.

THere are not that many in this world who are anti-american...... there are millions that are anti-american government.......

mostly because the level of intelligence outside the US is unfortunately a good deal higher than within it.

ahh, but whether or not the eaves droppoing is legal or not is still debatable. Nonetheless, the anti-american, knee jerk reaction from canadians is quite evident as they point there fingers at anything American. AND, even at that, 3 pages and FINALLY a canadian comes in to discuss the issue. Hell, your comrades DIDN"T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE LAW!

i think it's the other way around. as the other post said. america needs canadian oil and gas. though personally i don't have a problem with exporting our resources. that's how a rational economy works. goods will move norht/south even if the political division runs east west



THE CANADIAN DOLLAR

The Canadian Dollar has gradually established itself as a petro currency. With the Iranian Oil Exchange, and significant Russian oil production, the euro is absolutely certain to make a strong challenge to establish itself as a second leading petro currency. The Canadian intrusion occurs under the USDollar shadow within North America, where truly enormous trade occurs. Given little recognition, which is changing, the Can$ is the strongest currency in the world in recent years.

The fundamental reasons behind the new resurgence in Canada are many. Details are provided in the October Hat Trick Letter issue. This analyst here is sick to death of hearing [sic] spin propaganda against Canada by ignorant Americans who probably have never visited Canada, nor anywhere else outside the nation, for that matter. Their experience is limited to quick views across Niagara Falls. Canada is slammed typically by shallow criticism of “socialist quagmire” without benefit of knowledge. Sure, they have national health care and higher personal taxes. The nation decided long ago not to run debts paid by Asians, which have the harsh consequence of turning ownership of national assets to the Asians in a gradual “measured pace.” The United States is a nation up for sale, denuded of its wealth amidst sickening bankruptcy and hemorrhaged trade gaps. Our economic think tank of counselors is shockingly incompetent. We Americans are quick to sell debts overseas, with a blind eye on the toll to national security and national labor force. The central core of US claimed wealth is a housing bubble. Canada has broad strengths in its foundation of a solid tangible nature. The reasons behind the Canadian rise to power pertain to:

*

development of Alberta conventional oil & gas deposits and oil sands
*

attractiveness of mining and energy assets, for acquisition and development
*

government fiscal responsibility (surplus versus US red ink, waste, escalating debt)
*

less hostile government officials, less military interference in national policy
*

corporate business cost advantages

sheesh, all of you canadians are starting to blur together. The only way I can tell the difference is by the level of insult. I forgot you are actually the ONE canadian that hasn't resorted to personal attacks (hey, I said that before too, huh)

And hey, kudos to canada, you sure did turn your economy around, with the help of the US. And you could continue to prosper, as long as you don't continue down the road of antagonizing your neighbor.

Yes, you guys want to minimize people like myself. You and some americans want to deny that many Americans are getting fed up with the vitriol and rhetoric of our canadian neighbors. There are websites devoted to ending our amiable relationship with the north. News agencies, editorials, political figures are speaking out against Canada. The friendship is coming to an end because of anti-american rhetoric coming from the north. HEll, you guys can't even have an election without bashing America. You truly are traveling down a dangerous road.

I honestly did not know that. From a Canadian to an American, thanks for the heads up.
