Actually if you pay attention to the wording it is hardly arrogant, Americans have been everyhwere and usually it's in large numbers.
As others have pointed out so politely Canadians don't much go to other countries (em masse) so go ahead and ask an Afghani child if they know who Canada is I doubt theyd know.

And Afghani would know, since Canadians are one of the largest (if not the largest) peace keeping forces in Afghanistan, since the US decided to pull out and concentrate on Iraq.

Actually we are still there it's just we have military presence as apposed to a "peacekeeper" contingent like Canada

Don't peacekeepers wear the UN symbols on their uniforms and not those of their homeland? hmmm I always forget that as I don't see many pictures of UN Peacekeeper contingents.

I meant huge as in the american government tends to but into alot more national affairs then canada (yes I said butt in in a bad way) that's all I meant by just about everyone knows who we are.


Anyway I'm out of this thread as I'm buisy working on my mod so have fun all

Goodness gracious!

Things certainly got heated in here.

But isn't the right to hold our own opinions, the right to publicly debate and question the policies of our elected leaders, in essence aren't these the things the Founding Fathers specifically safeguarded our right to do?

Why do any of you become angry over the opinions of the other?

It's obvious that you are all profoundly patriotic, in your separate ways. I'm sure you all support the First Amendment right to free speech. Why the anger?

I know that's what you meant about "just about everyone knowing who the USA is". I was purposely being obtuse I do that lots, and was just trying to interject a little humor into the situation. I know, it was pathetic, but I just needed to try

Anywho, I (speaking as a Canadian) did not take any offense to what Starhawk said about Canada. Small population we have. Personally, I like it that way. If you want to live in the middle of nowhere, or in the middle of a metropolitan, modern city, or anywhere in between, you can. Its great. As for the small military....its true! And I know many Canadians would like us to have a larger military presence, but many would also like us to keep it just as it is. My opinion officially doesn't matter, since I'm not yet of voting age But I should be by the time the next federal and provincial elections come along.

I think we all need to take a small step back, and not become so incensed over what other people say. Everyone has different opinions, and though those opinions may clash, it tells just how free we all are. That we can voice our opinions, even though they may be anti-government, etc. Anyways, I guess you can call this just a plea to calm down, and discuss things in a more rational and...well...calm manner.

I'm outta here for today, hope next time I pop into this thread, things are a little more reasonable....

Also, I'm sorry if my opinion has insulted anyone, that has not been my intention. I haven't been insulted by anyone elses opinions...at times I've shaken my head at the apparent ignorance of some people, but then again, maybe I'm ignorant and missing something obvious.

Hey everybody... sorry for starting this whole mess, but I'm glad it got us all thinking!
As any good psychotherapist would say, "let's let it rest for now at this stable point, we'll talk about it some more later", hmm?

I KNOW WHAT IT IS NOW!!!

It's all a Canadian Conspiracy!

That whole "we're courteous" is just a show in reality they are a facist state hidden under the niceguy look we all beleive canadians to have!
Half of Toronto's population is the ARMY!

The reason that the Canadian dollar is on the rise is because they put hypnotic materials in their pretty blue money! and the Dollar has a chemical on it that makes you happy to be holding a Canadian dollar! and the more dollars you hold the happier you are yet you must give up the "buzz" dollar for food but you must work to get more! And thus other nations have heard of the lovely canadian money and they all want to get their hands on it no matter what!

Canada wants to rule the world I say! those mounties they are really an elite special forces unit disguised as a bunch of helpful policemen! Anyone who goes to Canada and runs into a Mounty is turned into a Sleeper! a mindless drone for the Canadian cause!

This MUST BE STOPPED (sounds of canadians breaking down the door with hockey sticks) IT MUST STOP!!!! (sceram thump repeated beating noises heard)

Hey ah Yah Canada is great ay I mean they are lovely people and you didn't read any of this okay ay.

However, as punishment for this conspiracy, any Canadian working on anything of worth will mysteriously have their hard drive crash inexplicably

Damn, you've discovered our secret plot! Grr...now we have to hunt you down, and brainwash you with our Canadian money. Get you hooked on it, so you are dependant on us for your daily fix, and will therefore not dare to try to expose us in our heinous conspiracy to take over the world! Muahhahahahah!

PS: The timetable has now been moved up, due to this unmasking of our conspiracy. Prepare to be conquered!
