Blame canada

Ahh but if my history serves me right you were not a country yet. THe battle was with France. Besides the war of 1812 was really messed up. THe biggest most memorable battle of NewOrleans wasn't fought until after the war was over.

Yes! I blame North Texas! They didn't send down enough beer. That's what's caused all the problems...

So all you leafy type Texans start shipping the good stuff our way, eh? We'll swap ya some mad cows and a winning hockey team...

Is this ALL because the Canadians [North Texans ...... LOL] refused to blindly follow in the USofA's footsteps ?

I have to admit to some favouritism here, as I have a whole heap of family now living in Canada, scattered across the length and breadth, but there all the same.

But, even allowing for that, I've found the real reasons why they didn't join in with the Iraq war :

10 reasons why Canada won’t join the war on Iraq



10. We have no way of getting there.

9. We are too busy at home with the Maple Syrup Season.

8. After 136 Years, we are still copying off France.

7. Saddam's name pronounced backwards is "Mad Ass". We'll stay away from him.

6. There is only limited potential for sales of Canadian Bacon in Iraq after the war.

5. Our Sea King Helicopter was damaged and needs repairs.

4. Celine Dionne can't sing to the troops because she has a contract in Las Vegas.

3. The rivers in Iraq are too shallow for our War Canoes.

2. Lousy hockey in Iraq at this time of year.

1. Our army is needed at home in case of another snowstorm in Toronto.

I think I've put this somewhere else, but couldn't find it, hence, no link.

Or, don't mindlessly follow what the US media says. Keep in mind that the interview was from FOX News, the media service who's reputation is currently lower than the results of a flushed toilet.

;)

I have been forced to come screaming and kicking into work at half seven this morning so I hate everyone at the moment and will hate everyone till I get my second or third cup of coffee. :p
Anyway I have never been to Canada so my only experiances with canadians are with those who travel. I can say I like the typical canadian tourist much more than most other tourists from the north americain continent.
I am going for my coffeee now. I'll be back.

Dont you know we are all pot smoking homosexuals up here ;)

Canadians...the backseat drivers of North America. :D

But they make funny movies, and they're too adorable to hate. ;)

o canada.. the largest unprotected border in the world exists between the u.s. and canada, the u.s. doesn't have to worry about a canadian invasion for shizzle, and the U.S. won't invade canada unless:

a. bush thinks they are harboring terrorists, or if osama bin laden flies to canada..

or

b. canada starts hoarding natural resources, you know, stuff bush drinks, like oil, natural gas, etc.

I've always liked Canada. Everyone I've known has been nice. But almost every Canadian that I know doesn't care for the US. Can't say I blame them... I've even considered moving up there...

The only thing that I didn't care for on my visit... the store clerks are VERY slow. They'd rather take their time talking on the phone to their loved ones than to help the only person standing in line... I didn't realize that it should take 20 minutes to buy a pack of batteries. Service was slow everywhere up there. (I was in Toronto)

If you think its slow in Toronto...you should try some of the more "rural" areas :)

As a kid I lived in the Chicago area...I have no problems with Americans.....

I do have issues with your current administration and the extreme right almost nazi-ish overtones

and religious fundementalists as a whole...be they american, canadian or what ever
