Does that mean it tends to mind it's own business - and tend to it's own affairs? No, it means Canada is insignificant. And not hated.  I'll take your word for it - I don't spend any effort judging your popularity.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Actually Canada has caught ALL of the terrorists who've targeted us. AND - for what it's worth - Canadian intelligence never believed Iraq had any hidden "weapons of mass destruction". Maybe - just maybe - it's us who have the intelligence. Yeah, old Dudley Doright was never fooled like those idiots at the FSB, Mossad, MI6, BND, etc etc. I'm sure Canada had a freaking HUGE intel apparatus in Iraq to make that call. Answer me this - Why isn't Canada hated by any country in the world today? nobody hates their bish. Canada simply is without impact in world affairs, and I'm sure you're perfectly happy with that, as long as the US and the UK are protecting you from foreign threats. as long as we keep the sea lanes open for you, who's Canada going to get in a dispute with?

Sweet! maybe we can get back to 15 Carrier Groups, 25 USAF Wings, and 15 Army Divisions!

"Foreign threats"? I must have been watching a hockey game when we got the last one of those. And our damn liberal press never bothers to tell us about them - when they happen! Are you referring to real ones - or just the usual imagined ones?

Canada, the geographical area without an identity. First the Brits, the us...

Last I heard Canadians turn up at every party you lot throw.....and manage to die along with your lot.
Doesn't sound like much of a free ride to me....or is spite and bad manners how you treat your allies?
Brian started this crap, as he is fond of doing, and I'm not into dissing our Canadian friends, but Canada didn't show up for Vietnam, didn't show up for Iraq, and wasn't in WWI or WWII at our request but because of your mother country's peril.

Typical and expected response from a socialist metrosexual with an identity crisis. Yeah we just love your intrusive government...

Ya, good point. Vietnam and Iraq were real good ideas... Those two took some REAL intelligence to get into.

Arbitrary ass kickings are what keep people nice. It's the sissies that show up afterwards to make the losers feel better that are a bad idea.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

If Canada were' king of the mountain's and main defender of freedom it wouldn't last a week.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

If it were not for the US your grandparents would have become soap or lamp shades.

Ya, good point. Vietnam and Iraq were real good ideas... Those two took some REAL intelligence to get into. Actually Brian, we contributed to both due to treaty obligations....not because someone thought it would be a "good idea". Australians tend to take their word seriously.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

And if not for gutless libs both those nations would be free today.

Has anybody said "America's hat" yet?
If not it's just for BC. Most all other Canadians members seem top shelf.

Canada simply is without impact in world affairs, and I'm sure you're perfectly happy with that, as long as the US and the UK are protecting you from foreign threats.
as long as we keep the sea lanes open for you, who's Canada going to get in a dispute with? Canada lives it's life of ignorant bliss as a spoiled child too immersed in its own self importance to realize we are the dependant child hiding behind, holding on to mother Americas apron for protection, basking in our own irrevelancy meanwhile shouting insults. Without America, Canada certainly wouldn't exist today as we know it. Whether we like it or not we are the 52nd state that is kinda allowed to run independantly as long as we stay on the leash. Thing that pizzes me off is the American election is of more importance to Canada than our own federal elections yet we're not allowed to vote......never mind the majority would have voted demo anyways
