Canadians have no cause to be smug

Canadians have no cause to be smug
Democratic spirit bubbles up south of border while Canada slips backward.


by Ish Theilheimer

A summer trip to the USA proved a good antidote for the smugness Canadians often feel as we regard our neighbours. While Canada learns to live with its first-ever military quagmire, America appears to be looking forward. While Canada is led by a George W Bush clone in Stephen Harper, Americans appear ready to talk with hope and passion about the future, for the first time in years.

Just thought I'd share. Although I do disagree with the premise. I was at the anti-SPP protest in Ottawa the day before the agents provocateur were exposed.

1. I Think That The Coalition Crap Was To Ensure That Deserters

2. Those evil Canadians...
I've noticed that they're too smart to immigrate to this country in large numbers.

It's ridiculous that I live in NH, for chrissake, and I've never been to Canada. I'm going to plan a spring trip to Montreal.

6. Buy a canadian lottery ticket when you go there
Winniings are hundred percent yours. None of this taxed United States Crap where you only get about half of the winnings.
Canadian dollar is almost at parr with the US now.
