I thought you were Canadian. You really don't know much about American or British history.

Man, you like putting words in peoples mouths, don't you. Well, onto the reply.
Actually we did. The only reason why you don't think so is that you've probably only read "history" books written by americans.
And the reason why they are "right" when they say that it was the British that did that, is because Canada was still a British colony at the time. God forbid if Canada ever got the best of the US at any point in history, right? Might bruse that huge american ego.
As to your other comments. We've never have taken credit for things that we haven't done. In fact, we get shafted for things that we have done. Kinda sucks, but whatever. We know what we've done and can be very proud of it ie Lester B Pearson.
On the other hand, the US regularly beats its chest of things that it as been associated, but claims (or at least implies) full ownership of. All the while, quitely doing some of the most horrible things around the world ie Iraq currently. So, you really shouldn't be talking.
Also, you mention that we can't claim anything regarding space exploration. Have you heard of the Canada Arm? If not, look it up. Most of what's done up there would be impossible without it.
We also contribute disproportionally comedians, actors, scientists, and are sought after for matters of international relations.
Maybe you should actually know something about a country you seek to criticize before you start spouting off next time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Thanks I needed that!
What you're thinking of is CNN, CBS, ABC and even NBC! However, we also have FOX, and news(except for Geraldo) is the one thing they know how to do!(I'm going to take a lot of flak on this aren't I )

He's been neutered! He has no power! He's liveing in a cave somewhere! And he's not a martyr! What more could you ask for?

If that's where you're geting your information, then there's no use talking to you

Thoughtful Republicans and Democrats=GOOD
Stupid Republicans and Democrats=BAD
The crew of Serenity are (mostly) good, so it doesn't matter to me whichever way they lean, left or right.
Anyway, I'm not a Republican or Democrat, I'm a Conspiracy Theorist.

I think he is referring to the RMS, or the robotic arm on the Space shuttle. 
And I also think he’s being a little generous with what is and is not possible.

Republicans- Mal, Zoe, Jayne, and River (pro small-business, anti-big govt., pro life, Ex-military, NRA, pro-marriage, crazy...describes some or all).
Democrats- Kaylee, Simon, Inarra, Book (Book is a conservative Democrat, Simon a NE intellectual, Kaylee a union girl, and Inarra...she's a whore).
How about this?
Alliance = republicrat / autocrat(big goverment in both economic and socio-moral spheres)
Crew of Serenity = libertarian / anarchist (with the exception of maybe Inara, who still had one foot in the Alliance). They just wanted to be free, man.
