I just had to include this:

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

[Ninot]

woo! i had to take off my hat and stand up for that post.

I think as members of this club we should each include in our signature this code (with {}s replaced with []s, or course):
{b}{color=red}I AM.{/color}{color=blue}C{/color}{color=red}A{/color}{color=blue}N{/color}{color=red}A{/color}{color=blue}D{/color}{color=red}I{/color}{color=blue}A{/color}{color=red}N{/color}{/b}

the end result being, of course, I AM.CANADIAN

BTW, does it need all of those {/color}s?

[Ninot]

Woo! thanks for the sig!

[FrostyBoy]

A boot

[JSeeds]

booya, thanks for the sig switch!

[OPD]

I can spell Canada and once watched an episode of due south can I be an honourary Canadian.

[Ninot]

Were Canadians, do ya expect us to be able to say no?

[OPD]

Some one once told me that after the American civil war (not independance war) Britain paid the US an excessive amount of money to stop then conquering canada. Is this true? If so how much did Britain pay for Canada and all that maple syrup?

[Ninot]

I haven't heard that story.

In history class, I was taught that after the US civil war, Canada was in a frenzy to make itself a propper country (instead of colonies of britain) specifically to ward off the threat of a US invasion. Thats all I was ever taught on the issue.

i`m not canadian ( i`m british ) however i have a great deal of respect and in a way pity for you, living that close to america. I personally would have moved a long time ago, my thoughts are always with you, iain.

note to any irate yanks: tongue firmly in cheek

[Jon Shafer]

It is just me, or do we have as many Honorary Canadians as we do real Canadians?

[Ninot]

Everyone wants to be Canadian, what can I say?

i consider myself a civil war buff, but ive never heard this. i know that britain had an army in canada during the civil war that was ready to invade the US. england was on the confederate side for the cotton, but they never actually fired a shot.
