mabe you haven't heard of Adscam? or maybe you can tell my why the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) is headquarted in Montreal instead of Ottawa? Why are there 8 other government head departments located outside of Ottawa? Western Canada, the east coast they have no such national head offices? Why has 90% of all Pm's been from Quebec? Why are 75% of the highest ranking officers in the CF from Quebec...I can go on and on..you (Quebec) has gotten WAY more than its fair share considering its population. So my question is then why is there such a heavy infulence from Quebec? and yet you want more??
class president
I see your point however, its a two way street. You can not expect Canada (or other countries) to follow your lead when the US blatanlty breaks the law (its own and international). IE soft wood lumber, cattle, farm subsidies I could go on and on. The WTO and NAFTA have all ruled AGAINST the US but are they going to lift the ban any time soon??? Know you get a sense of the feeling in Canada when the US knocks on the door "asking" that we do this and that...why? When the US breaks even its own rules. Like I said its a two way street. Not US way only. I agree the US does produce piles of music so....? Remove the duty of softwood lumber, resume imports of live beef and stop subsidizing your farmers THEN knock on our door...until then...forget it!
Not to mention that Quebec never ratified the Canadian constitution... it was forced on us...
Thats right and your SO worse off because of it...get over it. Quebec has benefited ten fold because of the Charter you just don't like to admit it. Its time to get off your high horse.
well can you blaim us?? we have been living under some false pretense that we ARE the best. Maybe the UN, EU are wrong, maybe we really arn't the best...
Nah
I agree there isn't anything more annoying than yankee trying to "nudge" a debated topic in Canada. Your are right there, I to hope they keep poking and making noise then the opposite will happen just to say "f off"
I think your just pissed that what is happening in Canada is something you would LOVE to see in the US. Believe it or not the US IS NOT the best at everything dispite your (and others) claims that it is. It just grinds the yanks when someone can do something better than them. And Canada as a marginal nation..I think you better look at the toilet bowl you call them United States of American and re-evalute ignorant comments such as this one....
There have been numerous studies indicating that an Ivy league school's education can be worse than a non ivy league structure. Just because you paid alot for your education does not mean its any better than anywhere else....
I got one reason why that would never happen. We would win...
Canadians have more guns per capita then the yankees. If they think they have it bad in Iraq just try stepping in front of my house in yankee fatiques. Besides, the yanks don't even know where Canada is...its hard to plan something when they start marching south instead of north.
I wouldn't get to cozzy in NZ either, your economy is even smaller than AU and it would make an even easier targert for the empirial US folks to start selling their shitty beer over there as well!
I feel you pain, us Canadians were deluged with shitty US beer about 10 years ago. Now we use it to build furnature and put our feet on. See, it isn't totally usesless beer. I only know one Canuck that actually likes the US beer, but I think I have seen him wearing his wifes underwear to so I wouldn't put to much stock in his "tastes"
Isn't this funny, so far there is VERY few even attempting to come to the rescue of the yankees. Usually when a topic turns into US bashing the scores of stars and stripes start falling out of the woodwork...seems awefull quiet on the yankee front....I guess this time the evidense is a little to overwhelming for them to cry foul over.....
all I have to say is it will be a one way agreement regardless of what the yanks agreed to....one way...the US way or no way. For some reason the Yankee think they should have everything done, there way regardless. Look at Canada with the lumber issue, the live cattle issue. The NAFTA and WTO have outright ruled against the US but are they going to lift the bans? nope..not for a long time and only after alot of damage has been done.
Thats right, and you can be just as happy in the food line, and sleeping next to burtha at the shelter...
love and happiness will not fill your belly or keep you out of the cold. My job isn't great but it pays well and is secure, I find my true happiness is in the people I work with and my family and hobbies...
I find the more bored I am with / at work the more hobbies I tend to take up to make up for my unhappy work life...
Education is very important, you can't unload trucks when your 55 for a living anymore. That being said, turning down a promotion can be a serious CLM. You need to decide two things,
1. Are you going to stay in the IT industry for your entire working life? (don't downplay this thought, and don't make swift decisions, on average people change careers three times threwout their professional working life).
2. What will be more important in the future? not now or even a year from now, think 5 years out. Will you be better off with an education? or just with a better job?
I can't answer any of these issue for you, BUT I have a B.Sc (in Canada we have diferent scripts, I think in the US you would call it a BS..haha that cracks me up...sorry...) and I think it was the best thing I have done. I majored in EP (Engineering physics) so I can go anywhere and do just about anything if this IT gig of mine gets old. You don't have an option like that (please do not take offense to that). Your 27 and have limited experience...I think personally, the best bet for you is...school. That is coming from a guy who is only 32 but spent 10 years flying jets in the Airforce, has managed a small business, used to fix cars for a living and now manage an IT team that supports a large user base and goegraphical area. I dont' mean to sound harsh but your "only coding" skills just wouldn't cut it anywhere else but where you are...
sad but true, sad but true. I think what was the underlying issue here is, the yankees think everyone on the planet should think and act like them. As soon as there is any resistance they get all bent out of shape. Oh well, we only have to put up with them for afew more decades. Once they become totally forgien owned due to debt defaults there attitude will change. Then we can decided if we want an 11th province or not.
hum, interesting. But I thought the yankee flag was made just to abuse?? I could be wrong....
PS don't like it get out...seems to work well for the yanks.
You don't know what your talking about. I was in the Airforce to 10 years and to be an office you MUST have a degree. Try 90% of Canadian forces officer ranks have degrees, maybe you should put down the inquirer and get some real facts.
PS at maple leaf, william tell etc we always place first. So much for the "best in the world" US forces.
You aint to bright. Canada has one of the toughest privacey laws in the world buddy. Gett of your fat ass and to some reading before your ignorance embarrasses you in public.
hahahahh
nice, nice to bad your to stupid if you equate everything to incidents within the military and may I point out...it was YOUR idiot cowboy pilot who killed Canadians in Afgan...goof

You don't need to tell me that, I have lived in the US for 5 years I doubt the original post author can claim he has lived in Canada...

yeah, one twist of the oil and gas knob to the off side and we will soon see who really needs who more?
yeah and now we have a dispute mechanism that the yanks ignore...so what did we gain again??

Austrailia is simply Canada's camping ground. We try to shit off the path but in the end who cares...its only Austraillia

food for thought.
I think the benefit is the other way round buddy. History and reality prove that.
man, you can hear a pin drop...where'd all the yankee BS go now? Eh?
