I love how someone pointed out that Canadians are "peace keepers." Yeah, I bet you wouldn't be such peace keepers if you didn't have the U.S. willing to, if ever needed, fight wars to protect you. I may miss my family in Ontario, but I definitely don't miss you arrogant, American-bashing Canadians.

As opposed to arrogant, Canadian-bashing Americans

Can't say I've met too many Canadian-bashing Americans.

Oh give me a break. We've got courageous men and women fighting side by side with American and other international troops in Afghanistan as we speak, and dying for the cause too. So hush your mouth about our troops, many of whom have served overseas in peacekeeping missions for 50+ years now.

I hear the Canadian "army" is up to, what, 37 troops now?

Not even remotely humourous.

My point is - the number of anti-Americans I met while living in Canada was shocking. All I heard about was how evil GWB and war is, yet Canada wouldn't have a prayer if someone attacked it and the US didn't defend it.

Here's a hint - much of the rest of the world thinks alike. Its like looking into a fishbowl at the 35,000,000 people who voted for 'that' guy (vs the 30,000,000 who didn't and the other 140,000,000 who couldn't vote or don't care) who think they have the moral monopoly on everything. You don't, and you're grossly outnumbered by those who think otherwise.

Count yourself as number 1 and look back through the archive. There's quite a few.

50+?

Canadians already participated in the great butchery of WW 1...

;-)

And your point? There were many involved in "The Great War".

make it 50 then:

From Wikipedia:

Returning its attention to the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors, the United Nations responded to Suez Crisis of 1956, a war between the alliance of the United Kingdom, France, and Israel, and Egypt, which was supported by other Arab nations. When a ceasefire was declared in 1957, Canadian diplomat (and future Prime Minister) Lester Bowles Pearson suggested that the United Nations station a peacekeeping force in the Suez in order to ensure that the ceasefire was honored by both sides. Pearson had initially suggested that the force consist of mainly Canadian soldiers, but the Egyptians were suspicious of having a Commonwealth nation defend them against Great Britain and her allies. In the end, a wide variety of national forces were drawn upon to ensure national diversity. Pearson would win the Nobel Peace Prize for this work, and he is today considered a father of modern peacekeeping.

"My point is - the number of anti-Americans I met while living in Canada was shocking. All I heard about was how evil GWB and war is, yet Canada wouldn't have a prayer if someone attacked it and the US didn't defend it."

Just a correction here . . . it is not Americans that many Canadians dislike and distrust - it is President Bush. Canada does not support the war or GWB but that is a totally different state of affairs than not supporting and liking the American people. We have learned to differentiate - we know that Americans are individuals, and not all GWB clones - in spite of CNN and FOX news casts. Interestingly enough - virtually all Americans I know personally share my sentiments - they have no use for President Bush or the war either, and that includes my American 22-year Armed Forces veteran husband.

Then you obviously don't know the hundreds of people I met when I lived in Ontario.

Look, let's just all agree to disagree. There are millions of American Canadian-bashers and millions upon millions of Canadian American-bashers. Great, we all hate each other. Wonderful.

When, oh when, did I ever say they didn't? I am not so naive to think they didn't, I have members of my family who fought in both World Wars. Give me a break!

WW1, in 1914-1918. My point being you could have write 90+...

But ok, I see, you were talking about "peacekeeping". I meant to say that Canadians have been fighting wars for more than 50 years.

And when you bashed Clinton while he was President, did that make you anti-American??? Give me a friggen break! What hypocracy! Oye!

LOL I liked Clinton when he was in office. I was a democrat at the time. Thank goodness I smartened up.

Nice try though, big daddy!

[Heracles 417]

Whatever you do, don't ever let someone silence your opinion...that's not what this country is about and if she doesn't understand that, perhaps she should live somewhere else more authoritarian.

Neo-conservative chopf##ks!

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black..

You seriously crack me up..

too funny. I bet you republicans may have bashed clinton but they never would have tried to ###### the country over just to get him out of office. This is the difference between neo democrats and 'neo' republicans. Most democrats look after their own ### and don't give a ###### about America. Well apart from the right of being able to say and do as they please.

sounds like this woman you spoke to at work would make a lot of friends on some of these off topic threads on VJl!!

some are full of narrow-minded racists!!

I second that!!!

[Welshcookie 17]

Oh I tell my husband to piss off back to America at least twice a week.....He usually has a weekly trantrum about how terrible my country is...too liberal blah blah....weather sucks blah blah....taxes blah blah....no guns blah blah...parking spaces are too small whaaaaaaaa blah.....

Luckily he takes it in good humour and usually just says...'you'll come with me right?'

To the OP....take no notice of people like that....
