We here in the U.S. are sorry you freeze your nuts off in July.
And we are sorry you're still under *snicker* British rule.
Don't worry, we're used to countries mocking us until they need help. Then they come begging. We'll try to be nice if it ever comes to that.

I too am sorry. Hopefully with the construction of the new Peter Mans Bridge, we can come to a better relationship. God Bless America!

Cerikpete - FYI - Look at the temp on the weather channel and you'll see that July for most of canada is actually quite nice - no different than many northern states.
We also have not been under British rule for more than 2 decades - we are good enough to honour our ancestry and note: we became independent without blood shed. And, if you intelligent enough to open your eyes for a while you would see how interlinked Britain and the US are - like mother & daughter.
The only reason counties that mock you need help is because you put sanctions on or invade them - its a vicious circle.
Hope this clears your pretty myopic view of the world outside of your house.

Many of the countries that put us down are the same ones we rebuilt with the Marshall Plan.
And we didn't invade them. Or sanction them.

By the way, thanks for that Marshall Plan thing. It really helped us out up here in Canada.

Just to be clear, I didn't claim it was. Just responding to goodcanuck's statement that we only help people we invade or sanction.

You know what could have helped a lot more then the Marshall Plan? If the US had stepped up in 1939 and helped to end the war sooner. Although you are right. France, Germany and Turkey were the main benificiaries from the Marshall plan and they are not really repaying the US for that...

Hmm...hackles are up on either side of the great invisible line.
first off, the first post is pretty funny. I laughed.
I think that neither side is entirely in the right of things. (HAHA, I'm fencesitting again). In the US we are taught, in our schools, to have an elitist view of ourselves, and that england was an evil tyrant, and we have been all powerful from the get go, and that canada is our misguided sister country...its bred in. And I can't say our media really helps get rid of that view.
However, I also don't think that England can be considered the "mother" of the US. They are very similar at the moment...which has more to do with convergent governmental evolution than anything else. I think anyways, feel free to disagree, I'm not an authority.
At any rate, canada and the united states are stuck with each other until either bush manages to get us nuked to oblivion, or some weird new continental drift happens, so why must both sides throw rocks, when there are always more than enough rocks getting thrown around?

It is always nice to be criticized by Canadians, our third world neighbors to the immediate North.
They are an easily confused people and rightly so.
1) They cram themselves as close to the U.S. border as sanitation will permit, and then act as though they don't want to be like us.
2) They have never gotten over their collective inferiority complex resulting from our revolutionary war. You Canadians really shouldn't feel bad about this--you made the right decision. Canada was probably not worth fighting for.
3) They think their opinion matters in world events for some bizzare reason.
Fewer people than California, with an economy far smaller than that of California. funny little country.

And also happens to be the largest trading partner of the US with the highest standard of living in the world. Sounds pretty third world to me. And we did have a revolution, it just didn't go anywhere because the French didn't come and save our asses with their navy.

hehehe...I'm sorry, it just seems a little amusing that quebec is so into being french when the french didn't help you out. and also kinda funny that america doesn't give the french any credit for the help, and then wonders why the french have issues with us.
Its kind of like a paradox...kind of, I can't think of a good word for it.
weird.

The reason the French didn't help out Canada was that our revolutions were over in about 2 or 3 days. The Upper Canada rebellion of 1837 literally took place in a pub. That's Canada for you.

And it isn't a crappy watered down beer either! :lol: Actually, the thing that ended our rebellion... The British brought a cannon up Younge Street from Fort York and I guess the Rebels hadn't counted on a cannon so they surrendered. The Lower Canada rebellion was more substantive though.

Oh, I can hear all of the Canadians sharpening their skates and waiting for the Great Lakes to freeze over, then they are going to invade the USA, starting with Michigan..........that is really their plan, I just know it!!!!! LOL!!!
Canada and the US, can't live with them, can't live without them! As my econ prof used to say, buy some Canadian beer and hockey pucks, their GDP needs our help. :lol:
Seriously, I don't know what I would have done without Canada. My school was on the US side of the St. Clair River! I spent a lot of my time in grade and high school looking across the river and daydreaming while looking at Canada. (That's where the joke about skate sharpening started.)

I also liked the comment in the original article about the Canadian hockey team beating us. That was really amusing. It is your only sport, bout time you actually won. :)

Way to go! I though all of you were asleep down there! Home of the free my butt. Home of the free as long as George Bush says you are free. I guess you are always free to have an automatic weapon though.
