Congratulations Brianna, you are my first iggy.

I refuse to have a discourse with crude people who have a flimsy enough ego to attempt to put others down to compensate for their own inadequacies. I bet you drive a boat of a car and have a gun collection that you are very proud of. I will know when you grow up and may acknowledge you then, maybe.

Canada is a net exporter to the U.S. largely due to its hydro resources with exports originating mainly from Quebec, Manitoba and British Columbia.

Since Brianna's an iggy, I will have to answer to this: I miss my pickup. I bought it when I was selling guns, and it had a padded bed for the oak and glass display cases. Had to get rid of it for something more fuel-stingy. I think it would've fallen into the category you describe, though.

I'm not overly proud of my gun collection, but there are a couple of nice ones.

As for the trade deficit, how about we just send you all the worthless Canadian coinage that's rattling around in our tills? Not a week goes by that I don't find some dime with a woman's face on it in my change jar. All told, it must add up to several thousand dollars (CAN). Maybe a buck fitty in scrap metal otherwise.

You guys have some fabulous fishing and hunting, though. I would love the opportunity to donate to your wildlife management program in exchange for some moose burger and salmon steaks.

Wheeeeeeew Howdy! What's an iggy? Is that some sort of Frenchie Shame-On-You award?

Boat of a car? Guns?
dov doesn't know me very well, eh?

What was it? The creton crack? Sorry, sore spot for you?

You're totally French and you know it.

I liked Montreal because it's a city of restaurants, and I like food. Walking downtown to find a sidewalk cafe was particularly memorable. It's clean and cultured and only a little bit rude. I envy you for having that city as home.

A trade imbalance is not a debt; it merely means Canada is buying more from the US than the US is buying from Canada. It's not necessarily a bad thing. I have a terrible trade imbalance with my local grocery store, as they buy nothing from me, but I am going to continue the relationship anyway.

Guerilla warfare happens with local militias. Gorilla warfare happens in zoos.

You really ought to have answered the quiz, there's no shame in it.

I do not do quizzes. It is one of my quirks. They remind me of authority. I hate authority.

I, for one, like dov. He's not afraid to put up his dukes and mix it up a bit. and seems to be well read and maybe latently sarcastic (gorilla warfare hee hee).

When I lived in squirrelington, vt we'd cross over to montrebec all de time. The us border guards were far more dickish to me than any canuck or queeb was.

Plus, the montreal chicks are hot and fit. I never saw even a leetle bit chubby girl there. Or guys for that matter. Not that I was looking beyond seeing what the competition was. (reason # 733 why I am still a US citizen)

HA and well you should be, considering our not inelegant track record of personal and corporate bankruptcy and outright pillaging of our own population! Do you think we'd have any sympathy for people with british/french hybrid accents?

Hell, most americans have no idea what maple syrup is or should taste like. THEY USE PANCAKE SYRUP!!!

Gotta go.

Very true. If the Russkies weren't scared shitless of us, they would have nuked Canada back in the 50s.

01-25-2006, 02:45 PM

Yup, I like it here. You pass. I will hang around a while.

If we weren’t next door to you we would not have to worry about being nuked, now would we?

Being your neighbour comes with a high price, plus a bonus for you, you get to drink our beer, not the piss water you are used to.

I like Canada. but lately it seems i've come upon a lot of Canadians with really bad superiority issues. like what country you reside in defines you as a person. I can;t decide if it's because they feel like they're better or worse than we are, but it does seem to be on their minds quite a bit. always comparing themselves to us. what's the difference between us? aren't we basically the same? shut up with all the propaganda already. you didnt invent Canada in your image or anything.

If your were to backpack it around Europe and the world, would you put a stars and stripes or a maple leaf on your backpack? (Including the Mid East.)

Propaganda is lies. Show me where I have lied.

Its nice actually, you have given us a new and proud National Identity.

We are not American.

So, just out of idle curiosity, why did you come to an American board to bitch about the outcome of a Canadian election? Let's get real here. Its not as if Americans even KNEW you guys were having an election, never mind feeling too concerned about the results.
