    We have sexy women & funny men. And when a Justin Bieber comes along, we send him to the US.
    There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

      Clearly it comes from your love of the Queen.
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

        I note that a Canadian has spelt civilised with a "z", an American spelling.

          Bad habit.

            I am prone to that when using word. The software seems to change civilised to civilized.

            It might be a conspiracy to Americanise (or should that be "ize") our spelling, subverting the Queen's English.

              The queen is a worthless waste of taxpayer money that fortunately I don't have to pay.

              What exactly does having a governor general and a bunch of useless lieutenant governors do for your country?
              If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

                Pretty much the same thing having a vice president does for yours...

                  Somebody to replace the Prime Minister if he dies?

                  I sure as hell HOPE that the Governor-General isn't second in line....

                    Splendid. I agree. However, most people here with rightist-conservative views such as yourself tend to support her (with more than just their taxes).

                      Technically the GG is first in line.

                      It's mostly a ceremonial position and diplomatic position.

                      He also handles a few key decisions, like whether to call an election during a minority government.

                        FWIW, I think our GG is more qualified to be a leader than the US VP...

                          Rightist conservative views in Britain are very different from rightist conservative views in the US.

                            FWIW, I think you're wrong. And as for being ceremonial and diplomatic--that's what I mean by worthless. It still doesn't explain Lieutenant Governors. Why do provinces need someone to rubberstamp their parliament bills?

                                If you understood how the Hakapik works and the **** that happens with the seal overpopulation (which would certainly occur without the cull), you'd actually agree it is civilized.
