Canadian Spam Levels - Up? Down? You Be the Judge

spamfighter writes "Survey firm Ipsos-Reid has taken the interesting stance that spam to Canadians has been attenuated by 20% because of the federal privacy law PIPEDA which is so fearsome in nature that is scares off even the biggest- baddest spammers in other countries. CAUCE Canada has their doubts."

As news reached their frozen ears that for the first time, someone somewhere was afraid of something Canadian. "Eh?" said one Canadian.

Add the Etats-Unians to the list of shitless cowards afraid of something Canadian.

Many Real American from Canada think our armed forces is weak and that no one is afraid of us.

My question are always this :

Can you name me one "war" where Canada whas defeated ? answer : None

Who is the country who as first striked us and declared war upon us the most ? And who lost every single time ? Answer : United States

What country need super weapon and spend 100 time the rest of the planet on its Armed forces budget because its afraid of the Real American from Canada ? Answer : United States

No one is afraid of us because everyone who picked on us is Dead. And because when where not attacked whe are really nice , but dont make the mistake to underestimate us.

We NEVER surrender , NEVER give up ,payback from us is a bitch and we NEVER loose. And God is on our side.

Reward the spammers

[Eternally optimistic]

The old russian model springs to mind, where certain kinds of criminals where rewarded with extended action-oriented vacations in beautiful Siberia. Canada has large expanses of very simular real estate.

I have found a grammatical error in your not-so-excellent post.

WHAT?!

[Anonymous Coward]

A spelling error on Slashdot? How could this have happened? Besides the fact that all Slashdot editors have at minimum a Masters degree in English, Slashdot stories are quadruple checked for spelling and grammar mistakes. This is unthinkable. I can only assume that this is some sort of hacker trying to ruin Slashdot's good name by making chages to their story database.

Exchange Rates

[Anonymous Coward]

A free iPod in the US is actually $15.43 in Canada at the current exchange rate.

Yeah, but a year ago it was $30, at a former exchange rate :P

My ex has a fabulous series of photos of a moose mounting her mom's Honda Civic. Also photos of the mess after. This was in Banff. Moose in heat are not very rational.

Not only "most," but 99%! That's a hell of a statement.

Perhaps not, if we're still talking aboot Canada...
