No problem.

Sorry, I just get inundated with people (including some in my own family) who keep talking as if the CPC are a bunch of fascists out to bring about a fourth Reich.

You know what the saddest statement about our federal government is?

In this thread, we have a lot of people leaning to the left, and a lot leaning to the right. We have some seperatists, and some federalists. All in all, a shitload of opposing opinions on various aspects of how things should be run.

The one thing we agree on?

Our government is doing a piss-poor job at running things, and needs a change. How about that? The liberals DID unite Canada!

Because America is the super power and everyone hates the super power.

everyone hated England when they were.

Now that is something I can agree with 100%

It's all about tribal convcitions (nod to Voi-Vod). At heart humans are still ruled by tribal allegiances and act them out, especially in mob like situations (mob rules..nod to Sabbath). Who knows who started booing who first, does it really matter? Both sides have been guilty of it. I remember Americans routinely booing the Canadian anthem, very loudly in fact, in 2001. Apparently it had something to do with 911 though I'm not sure what exactly the Canadians were guilty of. Like I said, tribal convtictions. All nations do it, not just Americans and Canadians.

As far as healthcare and education funding go, did you ever stop to think that if government actuslly did their job of spending our tax dollars in the most efficient manner possible instead of wasting/stealing them (ala the Liberals) that there's currently more than enough money in the system to pay for such things??? Take for example the local hospital in the town next to mine... A small operation that serves a region (multiple communities) of less than 30,000 people. That hospital has an administrative staff of 60+!!! I don't care what anyone says, it doesn't take that many people to dole out responsibilities to employees.

I went in there one time with an invoice (my father's shop had repaired a hospital-owned vehicle) and I had to speak to three people before I found out that the guy responsible for my type of inquiry had gone to Tim Horton's for his coffee break. Typical response I received; "That's not my department... Go see so-and-so down the hall..." Yeah, sorry I interrupted your brutally labour-intensive photcopying task.

There's plenty of money for healthcare and education... The goverment (Liberals in particular) just like to create unneccessary positions in these areas for their friends/relatives of friends, meaning more red-tape, beauracracy, and wasted tax dollars. Clean up government spending, and yes, tax cuts would be in order.

This is why I boo America:

As quoted from MSNBC host Tucker Carlson-

"Canada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he's nice but you don't take him seriously. That's Canada."

He is by far not the only American I have met or heard say something like this about Canada. I know a good many, far too many, Americans feel this way (excluding some of you on here whom I know to be good people who don't harbour negative feelings towards my country).
I have been to the states, I drove from Calgary, Alberta, down to North Dakota and then down to Florida. I've heard the insults. The majority of Americans I have met think of Canada as nothing more than an unclaimed state, the retarded cousin who has yet to be diciplined.


You want my opinion Mr. Tucker Carlson? I think America is a growing cancer on the world that has long ago started infecting those around it.

oops double post

Cutting taxes increases the likely hood that an individual with either spend it or invest it. Either way it’s good for the economy.

The government currently collects more than it needs to run the core services people expect, hence the 8 or 9 years of surpluses (which is really over taxation since a government is not in business to run a profit).

I trust an individual to spend his/her money more wisely than the government. Therefore more money should be left in the hands of the individual.

Agreed 100%
I just think that before we start cutting the tax, we should sort our shit out. Fix the health care system, fix education. Make sure everything is in place, and that our money is being spent properly.
There is no doubt the government is pissing away money, and that they have the money management skills of an inbred, half-retarded primate. But because of that, I'd like to see them make sure that the money is being spent properly. Once the surplus is established and the systems work the way they have the ability to be working, then worry about a tax cut. Or better yet, throw that extra tax money elsewhere. Our national debt, daycares, law enforcement, etc.

Ahhhhhhh fuck it! Let's just overthrow the government. The few of us who have been debating back and forth will form a cabinet, and run shit ourselves. Our opinions are diverse enough that we can do our best to come to agreements that please all sides without serving one side more than another, and best of all, those asshats who have been running our political parties will be out of power. What do you say? Violent revolution, anybody?

That just sounds funny-- driving through rural North Dakota-- "HEY YOU-- THE CANADIAN!"

lol, dude, we met some guy there in North Dakota (which is right there on the fucking border) and we told him we were form Canada, and ehs all "Oh ya? Right on, where's that, up north somewhere?"

Just taking an oppertunity to say that Tucker Carlson needs to have a rather large cock shoved down his throat to finally shut him up. He's an idiot who doesn't represent the majority of Americans. Every society has a few idiots, unfortunately that one was somehow given a mic and a soap box. I love most Americans, but I really want to rape Tucker Carlson. I don't even swing that way, I just want to make him scream for awhile.

my answer to this question is the same as to pretty much any other question... Because they have small peepees!

Ok, i dont know, but i figured with all this political talk there needed to be something stupid said.

I don't doubt it. Many folks in the rural US that don't travel outside of their own state or even county sometimes have a hard time conceptualizing travel, geography, and what not. I lived for many years in North Dakota and Seattle, and now a small place in the Southeast US-- thousands of miles from Seattle and NoDak. Whenever I return to visit either I can't believe the number of people that ask 1) for clarification of where either is and 2) if I intend to drive back (for my 5 or 6 day vacation)

But back on topic.....

Hey dude- I used the word "problem" for a reason!

And bless you for doing so!

Indeed a Kinder, Gentler, Satan...

I gotta be me!

HEY!!!!!!!!!
They dont call me 'the human tripod' for nuttin!


I cant believe I started this thread.

I'm just talking out of my ass.

The only American whos peepee I ever saw was my first ex and his peepee was the size of my forearm. So.. I really can't judge about the rest of the population...

Comedy gold!
