I love Canada! It was a Canadian company gave me a job while the US ones shat on my face. 
So, do a lot of Americans think Canada is a joke?

I dont think Canada is a joke, I just think they are severely protected by being so close with the U.S. No one will touch them and they don't even have a
proper military.

Seaner, this is nothing against you but I'm kind of curious to know when your coworker thinks we have asked the U.S. military for help? In case she forgot,
we're in Afghanistan fighting a war the U.S. started. It pissed me off that those Red Eye guys were saying that we rely on their military. Since when? Bush
decided to go after Afghanistan, then left us there to hold down the fort while he started another war.

the problem is america has itself in a no win situation most of the time. nobody really likes us until they need some shit done or blown up and then our phone
rings off the hook. if we don't do anything and mind our business half the world says we're endorsing genocide/famine/whatever and the other half of
the world is calling and asking for us to blow shit up to put an end to it.
when the tsunami happened in indonesia in 2004 people were calling us out because we ONLY gave 300 million dollars, sent 30 ships, 10,000 troops, millions of pounds of food/aid/supplies. like that wasn't enough. then on the other hand other folks are getting pissed at us and not allowing our ships/planes to fly over their airspace or be in their waters to bring in the supplies. we can't really win. we've done a great deal to put ourselves in that situation though so we are definitely to blame in it, but what are we to do you know? america is like the worlds booty call.

I just don't get how Canada became underneath England. I must have missed that day of History class. I always thought they were settled by the french and
that was the end of it.

I don't think Canada is a joke! I think they just lay low, sort of live in their own bubble, but it's a good thing. I know a few people from Canada who think Canada is a joke, though.

I'm not talking about American tourists that come over our border and gas up!! I'm talking about your entire country buying these resources from us! Try doing a little simple research and find out how much of the above
3 you import from Canada, then tell you're friend I said she can keep her sugar.

I love this country. It is not perfect, and the harsh cold winters can be a pain the butt, but it is such a beautiful country with beautiful people.
Canada is a middle power, with not as much military might, but it helps out a lot in the sphere of international affairs. Infact, the world does indeed need more Canada. |

NancyOttawa - Do you not want other countries to buy your goods at all?

Irishlvr04 wrote:OMG are you serious!!! Can you please name who we need protection from? Sorry to say this but our country isn't a bullying country fighting to try and take what other people have or telling them how to run their countries . It's laughable when some American's feel they are "protecting us". And if we don't have a proper military, please tell that to the family and friends of all our military that are getting killed in Afghanistan because YOUR country asked for our help!! Oh and by the way, for your information ... our first 4 military that were killed when we went over to replace your troops in Kandahar, were killed when a U.S. fighter jet dropped a bomb on our men because the dumbass didn't follow orders!!Oh, and the U.S. called it "friendly fire". Gee... nothing friendly about that IMO! So your comment is extremely ignorant! |
