Ozz- Good plan. I think Alaska would fit nicely into our little Confederation. Has anyone asked them nicely so as to avoid the invasion part? You know, it is a long way to go and all, and we can't really trust BC to accomplish the task by themselves.....

We'll just annex them, by bribing them silly with what
they don't got, Women, health care and BC Gold.
(I believe it was legal there at one time)

A quick referendum and presto, a new province.

They got a lot more in common with both southern
and northern BC than the rest of the States.

This obviously proves that they are trying to upstage us on the international scene and must be stopped.

It got even better yesterday when he was talking about new money for healthcare. The provincial governments say that this "new" money is actually "old" money that was promised years ago but never delivered. This is what JC had to say about the complaint:

"They say that the money that we had promised three years ago to be new money this year is no more new money. We have not paid it yet and it's old new money versus new new monies. For me, new money is new money if paying in $5 or $10, it's the same money."

Sorry Yanks, I tried.

Sadly there are Canadians here (usually NDP'ers or hard left Libs) that take great sport in bashing the US. Sadly they fail to realize they would be waving their flags in the dark and cold if the US turned their collective backs on us. Unfortunately these types fail to recognize their own self interest.

What is even worse is the trotting out of 200 year old battles as 'proof' of some sort of superiority. How would we fare today?? Geez, let's not even think about it.

I will remain a Canadian proud of our accomplishments (we have made a rather nasty land inhabitable) and shameful of our failures (our governments), but I don't feel the need to bash the US to feel superior.

The US is a great country but we can agree to disagree. This doesn't make us foes, simply neighbours.

I'd offer you some toilet paper to wipe your nose, but you conservative types brown-nose the US so much that we've run out of paper.

lol, 'conservative type'

all right i guess. i've been called worse

How many Canadians post here now? I used to start Canadian Politics threads ages ago, before 'the incident'. Might be useful to sort out who is who...

That's a draw. We burn their capital, they burn York. Washington = York.

Shhh! Edit that, quick! Most of them wouldn't have a clue if we didn't tell them.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Where does a scorched capitol fit into those numbers?

That's a tie too. York for Washington.

[notyoueither]

Yeah, but can you find York on a map?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yes, it's where Toronto, Ontario is now .

[notyoueither]

Damn that Google!

Anyways, s'OK. From where I sit it might be good if you burned it again.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I don't need Google .

And Toronto wasn't too, too bad. At the very least I'd spare the Hockey Hall of Fame .

Nah, we win this one. The Americans only burned down a provincial capital. We burned down your national capital. We also took Detroit so that gives the Brit/Cdns a 2-1 victory.
