Or the fact that we became the leader in the war so now we are the target.

reccomend better combat training for your military then though I here candian specops guys are pretty bad ass

Update: Since Canada took over the war in Afganistan our troops are dropping like flies.

an occassional spelling mistake is one thing but when it interferes with understanding it is a problem. Cmop was really hard to comprehend.

C'mon, you can do it.

It could be called "spellaphonia annonymous" or something.

awesome.

Yeah, I know. But it's an addiction. Like every addiction I have had, I will have this one, then get bored with it.

Heh. Yes, Celtic. Try to lay off it once in a while. It gets old.

Again, why are most of the bad spellers on this site Republican? (Yes, I know I am obsessed with spelling, get used to it)

And I couldn't understand most of what you said, cmop.

Cmop,you are the type that gives america a bad name.

Learn to spell.

look man i dont cair that u think my as a amirican hates u. because i do not. 4 peopel may have died from ur side. but what about all the people that have died. not just from the same side. but on both sides. i am for the war.if u dont want to join thats fine i delt with that when it happen. i am over it truely i dont cair if u canadians want to fight or not. yes we disogree with the UN. but the UN needs to stand up to something. it needs to back what is says. or no one will respect it. so if the UN dose not want to fight fine but i will fight for what i belive in.

Dude, get a grip.

the US hasn't paid attention to the UN sence it was formed.

Be afraid...be very afraid. And not just of the spelling. Isn't the UN located in New York. They should really go to the Hague. The UN is a noble cause and they are really the ones to decide what countries are a threat to the rest of the world.

I apologize to Ipperwash. I don't intend to be so offensive. It just comes out that way.

I find that last statement a little frightening and I don't believe it. Korea was an example of the US going along with the UN. The UN was formed to maintain peace, help solve international conflict, promote respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

And as to my point, even though I get distracted often. Margaret Laurence says it best in "Where the World Began"

quote:

The same, I now see, could be said for Canada in general. Why on earth did generations of Canadians pretend to believe this country dull? We knew perfectly well it wasn't. Yet for so long we did not proclaim what we knew. If our upsurge of so called nationalism seems odd or irrelevent to outsiders, and even to some of our own people (what's all the fuss about?), they might try to understand that for so many years we valued ourselves insufficiently, living as we did under the huge shadows of those two dominating figures, Uncle Sam and Britannia.

we were not founded on being traitors to our country

hey they sent us here then taxed us and y'know what we stood up and said forget you limeys and are now one of the most powerful nations in the world

quote:

It is the job of the United Nations to decide what countries are in need of help not the states

so now the US gives a **** about the UN? Congress in the US when compared to the UN is one of the most efficent decison making bodys on earth the UN can take along walk off a short pier and we won't give a **** the US hasn't paid attention to the UN sence it was formed.

I don't really understand what you're trying to prove. You're mad because people cuss out Canada, but your not making the situation better by cussing out other countries ie:U.S.A. Maybeyou should start focusing on what is so good about Canada without comparing us to others.
Its not about being better then others, its about being proud of what it means to be Canadian.

Technically a colony.

Something to do with the fact that we were not founded on being traitors to our country. Britian decided Canada should have its own government. We have our own constitution in our country (thanks Trudeau) and we decide our national policy. We are a separate nation but we give credit to where we came from. We have a figurehead govenor general who reports to the queen but doesn't really do anything.

The government is contralled soully by the people of Ontario. Put it on them.

Maybe if the states had invade when Hussein was actually killing the Kurds the UN would back them.

Lets not forget who gave Hussein all of this weapons and funding so that he would fight Iran.

It is the job of the United Nations to decide what countries are in need of help not the states.

"It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not"

you know I just realized that canada is still technily a province/colony/whatever of the UK whats up with that?

sorry, you can disregard my first post, it was a mistake, and all my opinion is in the second post
sorry!!!!Thanks!

On the issue of Iraq, I believe that it is true that the people of Iraq needed to be freed from the grips of a dictatorship, what is questionable are the motives of the United States president. I believe most people will agree that Saddam Hussein was an awful person who should have not been running that country, but the question becomes is that why George Bush decided to go in, or was it for an alterior motive. When people compare the war in Iraq to WWII i think that there is a crucial part of the story that is being left out, America has nothing to gain in joining the fight, if you disagree please tell me.
secondly, right about now, i don't think i could find one person who is proud of Canadian government. I am perosnally a fan of the social democracy that we are living under, and i am a fan of the Liberals, but nontheless our government is riddled with scandal and controversy, something that has been hidden from us for years. I don't think that this is reason to feel superior to the U.S. personally i fear that we are growing a dangerous supioriority complex, which is very un-Canadian like.
