It's about time, but why do we institute tough new "made in Canada" rules while at the same time protesting the US doing the same thing? Isn't that a bit hypocritical?
You can't have it both ways. |

| I love football and watch both. Try switching back and forth between them when they have games on at the same time. The difference in the size, speed, power, and athleticism between NFL and CFL players is obvious. The NFL is on a whole different level. I guess thats why they make the big money. |

| Prior to Bush, every US president made Canada thier first offical visit. Bush went to Mexico first. I think Obama will choose either the UK or China for his first offical visit. |

What with the recently belligerent Russians nosing around our arctic and our most powerful ally (your buddys the Americans) distancing themselves from us at every opportunity I can see why we would have no need to defend ours... |

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada: I agree with Arcy,  Send Canadians to Mars. We'd be able to stand the mission much better then Americans ever would be, lol!
Good idea, except the only to get there is to bum a ride off your American "friends". They are the only ones that seem to be able to land on Mars in one piece. |
