If you're Canadian, or any other country for that matter, SHUT THE HELL UP about the election process in the USA. Don't look down at us. Take that nose down a bit. And for Pete's sake, stop posting conspiracy theories! Or are you afraid of all us war-mongering Republicans declaring war on you guys, eh? I mean, it's not like you've got oil to plunder, so what are you worried about?!

Ye gads...I mean really.

Lousy gorram French communists.



Ladies and Gentlemen - the Ugly American.



Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all lifetime. Tip your waitress.

And now that I know Canada has both oil and diamonds, oh. It's on! First act as Emperor of America is to forcefully colonize Canada! Then Britain and Austrailia. Just to unite all lands once ruled by England. Then the Bill of Rights will extend to all said lands, THEN I won't be so mad at foreigners speaking like they live in this country. Because then they will. Because they will be under my imperialist power.

Lovingly,
The Ugly American

PS - I really think of myself as the Average-Looking Pissed-Off American Bastard, personally.

IN all seriousness, CSSStrowbridge, the main reason why people don't know as much about Canada as you guys seem to know about us, is you guys are generally quiet. I am reactionary and venomous. I really have nothing against Canada. We have this HUGE unguarded border because you guys are so cool. You gave us hockey, and you have better beer. You've got clean cities, low crime, beautiful country-sides. You're the Ned Flanders to our Homer Simpson. Long suffering and always willing to help.

Near as I can tell, the only thing you've got going against you is Quebec and guys like Ghoulman.

So yay Canada, our ever-suffering, always helpful and kind neighbor to the north. May you always be our friend, no matter how ignorant and loud we Americans can get. Just...lay off the election stuff, ok? It's kind of a sore subject right now. It feels like we've got this big gash where we fell of a motorcycle doing 90 miles an hour and this guy who doesn't even like motorcycles keeps poking at the wound, telling us how bad motorcycles are. It hurts, man. So leave it be for a while, would ya?

TheGreyJedi, it's ludicrous to say that someone shouldn't express an opinion just because they don't live in this country. Many of your recent posts have basically been to tell people not to post if they disagree with you.

There have been numerous times that I have found the tone of Ghoulman's posts to be offensive. But, I believe his heart is in the right place, and that he is mostly trying to increase awareness. You mostly just come across as a bully.

In all seriousness, and by a wide margin: YOU ARE MORE OFFENSIVE THAN GHOULMAN.

Ok, I'm trying really hard not to get involved in this, especially since tempers seemed to have cooled, but I'm really curious as to what other country Michael Moore holds citizenship.

And piratejenny, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, sure but how exactly is anything happening in the U.S. affecting Canada at the moment? If anyone can give me a good answer (because I honestly don't know) then I won't say anything else on this matter.

Oh, I don't know, maybe it's cause the U.S. Canada's biggest trading partner and Canada is the U.S.'s biggest trading partner.

That could be how the U.S. election can affect Canada.

The fact that you don't know that means maybe YOU shouldn't be talking about the U.S. election.

Haven't said a gorram thing about the election in this thread sweetie. And even if I had, I think I have just as much a right to be heard as any Canadian. I may not know who the U.S. trades with the most but I knew what the candidates stood for, I watched the debates, etc. so saying I shouldn't talk about my own election is bullsh*t.

I just grow weary of all the conspiracy theories and bashing of the U.S. by everyone. I hear it enough from the people who actually live there and now every other country is chiming in. Whatever part is true of what they say (and who's to tell? everyone's a liar these days), I just get tired of hearing about it...in this board and in every other gorram one I belong to, NONE of which are about politics in the first place. Ahh well...

Micheal Moore. US Citizen, Candian Citizen.

Disclaimer: I remember being told that he was an honorary Canadian, not a "real" Canadian. This was by someone correcting my information, as I thought he was a "real" Canadian. However, since it was given as an "honor" to Mr. Moore, I count it as dual citizenship. If this information is incorrect, please feel free to point to the correct information. However, I will still think Micheal Moore is a fat blow-hard who uses film as a political tool not for information or entertainment.

Well I'm alright with the fact that you are totally against free speech, since I do think you have to right of free speech to say that, but did you have to make fun of us Canadians saying "eh"? I mean that's one big cliche I find annoying, since it's uncreative and always used. That's really all I had a problem with.

Perhaps you should look into a place called Alberta. And we've got a tonne in our northern waters that's just now becoming viable to harvest.

You've really showed us how little you know about our country.

I think they've found a tonne in Saskatewan (or somewhere, memory... reaching... weekend... level.) recently as well (somewhere new anyway). They're just trying to figure out how to get to them.
