| Iran went life and death for 8 years with a much smaller nation that's known for military mediocrity {Iraq} that the U.S. rolled over with ease despite a poorly implemented military campaign and working under lots of self imposed limitations. Iran is just lucky that the U.S. doesn't have a lot of ga... |

| My take? I think the U.S. simply offers a bigger better lifestyle for those with a lot of money, and makes it easier to amass that wealth in the first place. I know a lot of proud Canadians living in the U.S. who would love to come back to Canada but haven't because they have it too good right now w... |

| In many parts of Canada I've actually experienced more open racism by far than I have in places like Texas. It's definately getting worse here too as the stigma against those being openly racist seems to be fading away making it more and more socially acceptable. I wasn't all that surprised when I h... |

| You mean when Trudeau was in charge, before the anti-Canadian Conservatives took over? Trudeau set the stage for most of the problems we have today, even if he is remembered for presiding over Canada's "salad days", in fact there were cracks beggining to appear well before the end of his reign. Suc... |

| I think there's lot of quiet pride in Canada by the Canadian people but in no way does that match {big hockey wins excepting :lol: } the kind of nationalistic uproar you'll see in a country like Austrialia let alone the U.S. I think decades of relative stagnation has a lot to do with that, Canadians... |

In a way I'm kind of glad because it will get me out of working graveyard shift in rural B.C. but at the same time I kind of have mixed feelings about Toronto {aka New York Lite} after h... |

If you weren't prepared to do what ground combat services are known for you shouldn't have signed up. That said I wish you luck and hope you're able to make a decision that doesn't ... |

| If you support it then call it what it is, Rosco. The Alberta separtist movement. Don't try to hide behind blaming it on the east, and don't include the rest of the west...that would be like Quebec saying that the P.Q. has support from eastern Ontario to the Atlantic. Better yet, call it what it re... |

However between all the heavy editting, twisted facts and quotes taken out of context it seems Michael Moore has a real problem with telling other than his own version of the truth. For one example I had several of my African American... |
