I am beginning to think that the gulf between the US and Canada mind-set is unbridgeable. Perhaps its the war . Don't you find it cuious that no fact II have produced or no opinion I have offered has ever been challenged? All I get in response is slander, name-calling and insults. Where to begin? Let's go line by line. Since Telamon doesn't post insults until insulted, your argument is very much the 5 year old screaming, "Mom!--He hit me back FIRST." I think the Telemmon insult started with his reworking of my "Are You A Kook" quiz based on a DxEcch post. Although imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it started the Telemon vendetta. I might add that I was absolutely appalled by his master race views. He ended the [post with an insult. Go look it up. Since this BS originated north of the border....if you stop, he will have nothing to pursue. If you stop, Ace will have nothing to which me might respond. (a) BS. What BS? NO ONE HAS EVER DISPUTED A FACT OR REASONED AN OPINION. Sorry to shout but this wall of uncomprehension about how to discuss topics reflects poorly on the US education system and gives rich new meaning to "dumbed down." (b) Don't worry about DxEcch. In my absence, I noted that he insulted two people just to stay in practice. I have attempted to end this stupid thread several times, but I have always been forced to return fire. I know the truth hurts and you want desperately to be blameless, but, it's simple....you're not. I don't want desperately or any other way to be blameless, but you do what you have to do: no insult unanswered. Stop your gratuitous shots at the US, and the in-kind replies will stop. There will be no unanswered insults. If you stop telling lies about Canada, I will stop telling the truth about the US. I suppose you come by it honestly. When your PM levies personal insults at our President, it kind of becomes national policy. Get your facts right. Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister, has his head so far up Bush's ass he needs assistants to hold his shoelaces. Harper, a well-known neocon, can't call an election because his ratings are too low. Please cite the occasion where Harper insulted Bush. Pretty hypocritical to live off the fat of our economy, while insulting our officials. Especially in light of the US involvement in thwarting the attack on a Canadian city. (a) What fat economy is this? An economy one trillion dollars in debt to China and millions to Canada? All Canadian exports are at world prices and the US is free to import from the best source. Despite this, the US raised holy hell when the Chinese tried to buy into the Alberta tar sands. (b) I don't recall ever insulting a US official. Please cite the ocassion. (c) I am not aware of any attack on a Canadian city. Perhaps you are thinking of the Air India bombing. Keep it up, and we'll send back Shatner. Just don't send Hillary. |

O.K., look! This is something that we should give some grown-up thought to...... Al Quada has a list of countries to be targetted. There are ten countries on the list. Among the targets is the U.S.A., and Canada. These characters are suicidal maniacs, but also they have a bit of idiotic cleverness. Don't you think it is possible that they would use every means available to sow dissension among us, their enemies? Don't you think they want us to argue and fight among ourselves? What better way to weaken your enemy then to get your various enemies to fight and hate each other? Maybe we have a couple guys on this list working for Al Quada or other Muslim extremists, trying to drive a wedge between Americans and Canadians? They do have access to the internet, just as we do.

Best Regards. http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/NAS...=1112188062620 It's lonely being pro-American in Canada -- and sometimes at a dinner party, after a good ration of wine, slightly dangerous. But why should it be so? The friendliest city I've ever walked in -- and I've visited scores on five continents -- is New York. The most pristine beach I've ever stood on is in Florida. The best food I've ever eaten -- sorry Italy, France! -- is in California's Sonoma Valley. Still, you won't hear many people admit that. No, we love to hate America -- and Americans. We sniff that our medical system is superior to theirs, then sneak down to their world-class clinics when we fall sick. We call ourselves peacemakers and Americans warmongers -- but do the math on peacekeeping assignments and the United States comes out ahead. It picks up 26 per cent of the annual $5 billion budget for UN Peacekeeping, and despite the fact it's slightly distracted by the war in Iraq, it currently has twice as many UN peacekeepers in the field as Canada. Meanwhile, we sniff our disdain for Hollywood movies, though we attend them in droves (as we should, they make some of the best) -- while completely ignoring our own. And as author, journalist and Carleton University professor Andrew Cohen points out in his intelligently argued and entertaining new book, The Unfinished Canadian (McClelland & Stewart, $29.99), which delivers both amusing and incredible insight into the Canadian psyche, we're not afraid to attack Americans -- not only when we're wrong, but when we know we're wrong. Consider former Prime Minister Paul Martin's 2005 election campaign "chiding" of the US over its commitment to the Kyoto accord. "The United States lacked 'a global conscience' for reneging on its obligations under Kyoto," he said, though America's emissions have risen 13 per cent since 1990 while ours are up 24 per cent. "Rebuking the Americans on Kyoto -- fully aware that Canada's record was even worse than America's -- was trafficking in hyperbole and hypocrisy," Cohen notes. So why do it? Anti-Americanism wins votes. And we think their politicians are pathetic? How about our snobbery that we're multiculturalists and bilingual ("Quoi?" dit le Quebec!) -- and they're not. Consider, Cohen asks, that of the 41 million Hispanics in the United States, 31 million speak Spanish at home, and that automatic tellers in major cities provide instructions in Spanish and English, as ours do in English and French. Or that "in 1973, 78 per cent of students in public schools were white, and 22 per cent were minorities while in 2004, 57 per cent were white and 43 per cent were minorities." Or how about this: A 2005 Ipsos-Reid poll reported: "When asked whether people from diverse backgrounds would be better off if they became more like the majority, 44 per cent of Canadians said yes in contrast to 38 per cent of Americans." "Is this a melting pot?" Cohen asks rhetorically. Say no more. Here's another: They're fat and we're fit! Ahem. Cohen reports half of Americans are fat, while a third of Canadians are. And, alarmingly, he says: "The rate of growth in obesity is about the same on both sides of the border." And I've interviewed Canadian obesity experts who say our adult obesity rate is already at the halfway mark, and that 37 per cent of our children are also overweight. So who's calling whom fat? While myth bashing quickly gets the point across, Cohen's chapter on the American Canadian (the others he analyzes are the Hybrid, Observed, Unconscious, Casual, Capital, Chameleon and Future Canadians) also makes a strong analytical case that suggests our values are converging with those of Americans. In the end, the American-Canadian "watches American movies and television, wears American jeans, listens to American music, reads American books and magazines. "He drinks coffee at Starbucks, eats hamburgers at McDonald's and ice cream at Ben and Jerry's," Cohen notes. "He aspires to the American Dream, whether it is represented by minivan or an SUV, and the greatest obstacle to achieving it isn't desire but money." Oh yeah, they're better at creating wealth -- which they use to feed the world, promote democracy and human rights, and defend the free world -- than we are. Now there's a difference we can be proud of. In short, Cohen points out: "If Canadians were really anti-American, we would have to denounce ourselves, or everything about our country and our place in it." So how does he define us? "We are contradictory, inconsistent and, yes, occasionally hypocritical." In short, we're not so different from Americans as we may like to believe. And those of us who value the freedoms that attract refugees and immigrants the world over think that's a good thing. Vive l'Amerique libre! Dianne Rinehart is a Toronto-based writer. |

I know the truth hurts and you want desperately to be blameless, but, it's simple....you're not. Stop your gratuitous shots at the US, and the in-kind replies will stop. I suppose you come by it honestly. When your PM levies personal insults at our President, it kind of becomes national policy. Fortunately, he's not PM anymore. Personally, I couldn't stand the bast*rd! Pretty hypocritical to live off the fat of our economy, while insulting our officials. Especially in light of the US involvement in thwarting the attack on a Canadian city. Keep it up, and we'll send back Shatner. We'll take Shatner off your hands and you get to keep Celine Dion. LOL! Now that's just plain mean. |

Yes, there are actually a lot of Canadians who do not hate the States. We have spent a good part of our lives in the States, either living part of the year there, or travelling, or visiting American relatives. We know something about the States and American people that America hating Canadians don't. Maybe we have some sort of an understanding of the States, we have studied their history, we spend time with American citizens, and get to know them. And we also know something of Canada and Canada's history, and how the two countries compare in reality, and how they have gotten along together over the years. I don't know all the reasons. But I do know that I love both the United States, and Canada. I have loved them both since I was a child, and I am now fifty-five. So that love will never change for this Canadian. It is just a few ignorant jerks in each country that try to drive a wedge between us, and try to create hate. I am not sure what we can do about them. Cato |

THE WIT AND WISDOM OF THE USA VS CANADA REC RAD POSTS
I have selected comments from this thread. Can you identify the author? The list of usual suspects. M II, Telemon, RHF, Maus, Cuhulin, DxAce, Cato, Beerbar, Tootles, VE3, miki. (1) I don't spend my time meddling in the affairs of another country....I'm 47 and will be returning for my third trip (tour of duty) soon. (2) The rest of the world should damn well fear us Americans (3) If you really understood economics you'd shut your pie hole. (4) It's a mean world out there-and-the big boys play the game of hardball with the heads of the meek. (5) If you are expecting any kind of factual rebuttal from the name- callers, please don't hold your breath. (6) My only hope is that most Americans do not forget the principles on which their country was founded. (7) DxAce is a prime example. A real stupid idiotic jerk and he keeps proving it every time he opens his mouth. (8) Youre a real stupid idiotic Canuck. (9) Stop whining, pay attention, run along, and get a cb radio. (10) Other than a pile of empty bottles, you have absolutely nothing going for you yet you are extremely impolite. (11) Would you please stop the USA vs Canada crap posts. (12) I am not a redneck. (13) HOOHOOHOOHAWHAW....erk...koff...koff The answers will be posted in a day or two. In reviewing the thread, I was impressed by the effort many had put into composing something useful. May their tribe increase. |

But I think you are a peacemaker so I would never do it. Best Regards. http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/NAS...r?pagename=ham... It's lonely being pro-American in Canada -- and sometimes at a dinner party, after a good ration of wine, slightly dangerous. But why should it be so? The friendliest city I've ever walked in -- and I've visited scores on five continents -- is New York. The most pristine beach I've ever stood on is in Florida. The best food I've ever eaten -- sorry Italy, France! -- is in California's Sonoma Valley. Still, you won't hear many people admit that. No, we love to hate America -- and Americans. We sniff that our medical system is superior to theirs, then sneak down to their world-class clinics when we fall sick. We call ourselves peacemakers and Americans warmongers -- but do the math on peacekeeping assignments and the United States comes out ahead. It picks up 26 per cent of the annual $5 billion budget for UN Peacekeeping, and despite the fact it's slightly distracted by the war in Iraq, it currently has twice as many UN peacekeepers in the field as Canada. Meanwhile, we sniff our disdain for Hollywood movies, though we attend them in droves (as we should, they make some of the best) -- while completely ignoring our own. And as author, journalist and Carleton University professor Andrew Cohen points out in his intelligently argued and entertaining new book, The Unfinished Canadian (McClelland & Stewart, $29.99), which delivers both amusing and incredible insight into the Canadian psyche, we're not afraid to attack Americans -- not only when we're wrong, but when we know we're wrong. Consider former Prime Minister Paul Martin's 2005 election campaign "chiding" of the US over its commitment to the Kyoto accord. "The United States lacked 'a global conscience' for reneging on its obligations under Kyoto," he said, though America's emissions have risen 13 per cent since 1990 while ours are up 24 per cent. "Rebuking the Americans on Kyoto -- fully aware that Canada's record was even worse than America's -- was trafficking in hyperbole and hypocrisy," Cohen notes. So why do it? Anti-Americanism wins votes. And we think their politicians are pathetic? How about our snobbery that we're multiculturalists and bilingual ("Quoi?" dit le Quebec!) -- and they're not. Consider, Cohen asks, that of the 41 million Hispanics in the United States, 31 million speak Spanish at home, and that automatic tellers in major cities provide instructions in Spanish and English, as ours do in English and French. Or that "in 1973, 78 per cent of students in public schools were white, and 22 per cent were minorities while in 2004, 57 per cent were white and 43 per cent were minorities." Or how about this: A 2005 Ipsos-Reid poll reported: "When asked whether people from diverse backgrounds would be better off if they became more like the majority, 44 per cent of Canadians said yes in contrast to 38 per cent of Americans." "Is this a melting pot?" Cohen asks rhetorically. Say no more. Here's another: They're fat and we're fit! Ahem. Cohen reports half of Americans are fat, while a third of Canadians are. And, alarmingly, he says: "The rate of growth in obesity is about the same on both sides of the border." And I've interviewed Canadian obesity experts who say our adult obesity rate is already at the halfway mark, and that 37 per cent of our children are also overweight. So who's calling whom fat? While myth bashing quickly gets the point across, Cohen's chapter on the American Canadian (the others he analyzes are the Hybrid, Observed, Unconscious, Casual, Capital, Chameleon and Future Canadians) also makes a strong analytical case that suggests our values are converging with those of Americans. In the end, the American-Canadian "watches American movies and television, wears American jeans, listens to American music, reads American books and magazines. "He drinks coffee at Starbucks, eats hamburgers at McDonald's and ice cream at Ben and Jerry's," Cohen notes. "He aspires to the American Dream, whether it is represented by minivan or an SUV, and the greatest obstacle to achieving it isn't desire but money." Oh yeah, they're better at creating wealth -- which they use to feed the world, promote democracy and human rights, and defend the free world -- than we are. Now there's a difference we can be proud of. In short, Cohen points out: "If Canadians were really anti-American, we would have to denounce ourselves, or everything about our country and our place in it." So how does he define us? "We are contradictory, inconsistent and, yes, occasionally hypocritical." In short, we're not so different from Americans as we may like to believe. And those of us who value the freedoms that attract refugees and immigrants the world over think that's a good thing. Vive l'Amerique libre! Dianne Rinehart is a Toronto-based writer. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""" This sounds to me like a paid propaganda piece for the North American Union crowd. They have stated that they are going to achieve their goal of Mexico-USA-Canada union by stealth as the populations are against the idea. If we start seeing articles on how swell it is to visit Mexico, look for media whores. |
