| first let me start by saying, this thread = big lol They continue to imbue their kids with hatred, much like the Irish did or the Euros in the Balkans. But really why? When have the French ever liked the English? Er, never. But we need to acknowledge that. Once we can deal with the ancient hatred we... |

| The idea that someone in the article suggested of sending Canadian soldiers up their with them is probably the best idea, for now at least. The government really needs to get things in gear and actually start all the projects it has planned instead of just talking about them. |

A friend at the video store I used to work at told me about this show, and I was all "pssshh vampires, probably more of that Anne Rice/twilight crap."
But lo and behold I've now watched every episode. I'm so ashamed. |

And nobody wants to talk about what is really happening here.” I'm not so sure how racist the right in Canada is anymore but I don't think truer... |

| It's not history programs, it's collective ignorance. It's a product of society where intellectual relativism prevails and everyone's opinion matters, whether its correct or not. Knowledge-based questions can't survive as it requires a correct answer, not subjective prattle, so it's no wonder basic... |

| You're lucky if you got that much. All I can remember is a brief overview of WW1 that didn't even focus on Canada, a session of learning how evil Canada was for the Japanese internments, and a whack of nonsense about the Bushmen of the Kalahari. From what I can tell, in the Calgary area anyway, you... |

| No one has mentioned the option of having an elected president doing the job of the governor general. Just a suggestion but maybe something to consider. Also for the monarchists who say the republican side hasn't put forth an idea for a republican system, it's because they're are too many to choose ... |
