YankGreat -

Let's leave the child point as it's like smashing my head against a brick wall trying to engage in comprehension with you on this.

I would expect the US to care about Canada. Why?

1) It's your neighbour to the north
2) You share history, language, culture
3) You enjoy the world's longest undefended border
4) $1bn a day in trade
5) Shared defence responsibilities re NORAD


The world pays attention to the United States because you are the sole superpower - we'd be rather foolish, even childish, to try to ignore you

I suppose you are right, but don't take my words as an insult, but it's just that, for America, caring about the Western European countries, China and the United Kingdom is more important than caring about Canada.

Am I wrong?

Yes. You are wrong. Without America, Canada would be in trouble, without Canada America would be in some trouble, maybe not as much as the vice versa. It's a symbiotic (sp?) relationship.

uh..no no, I was just trying to say, that I just don't see a point of paying much attention to Canada. If Canada is in trouble, then oh yes, America really needs to help her. Guys, I am not trying to be an idiot here...

Am I wrong??

Again yes, if you ignore your biggest ally, your biggest trading partner, and a lifelong friend. You are gonna be looked down upon.....more so then you already are. People are going to look at Canada, which most of the world likes, being misteated by America, who not a lot of people like. How do you think that will affect you?

b...biggest ally? Canada?

......... ........

and well, I don't think it's some type of "like". It's more like "not caring"


am I wrong? And I don't know if Canada and the US are THAT friendly as you mention...

Tricks is right - you would be in trouble. Think about the US without Canada. Think about how far you've both travelled together, as friendly (and unfriendly) neighbours. All that cross border trade you'd lose. What if an actively hostile country was to your north? One that you had to defend against? That's an awfully long border to fortify.
And to top all of that - who but William Shatner could have skippered the Enterprise with such aplomb?

True, but that's not my point!!!! I was saying that, Canada should just be more friendly to the United States.

And well, but you know...if Canada didn't exist, then I think Canada would be the U.S. territory by now..am I wrong?

You could equally say if the US didn't exist then North America would be Canadian.

Am I wrong?

I think we should be more friendly too.....but the sword has two edges buddy. You know you be nice to us, we nice to you. Hell we nice to you, you asshat to us....

$1:

Methinks he doesn't know how much energy Canada has and how badly the US needs it...nope, nothing to pay attention to Canada for....sweet jesus, would you pay attention if half your country is left in the dark? Would that get your attention?

Maybe he should remember that black out a couple years ago....

And well, but you know...if Canada didn't exist, then I think Canada would be the U.S. territory by now..am I wrong?

Ummmm yeah probably, You tried to take it over before Canada was....Canada. You Remember that, you lost.

b...biggest ally? Canada?

Um yeah, take a look at what we have done for you in the just the last 6 years

$1:

am I wrong? And I don't know if Canada and the US are THAT friendly as you mention...

As I said, works both ways. See I find Canadians are nice to americans. Non asshole americans. Have you ever wondered that no Canadians are nice to you because you are an asshole and anti Canada? Gee a monkey could figure that one out. I am nice to every american on this board who respects Canada. You....Do not.

[YankGreat]

All I am trying to mention, is just that the Canadian government should stop promoting Anti-Americanism in Canada (And hopefully we will be able to expect that from Harper), and I just want the Canadians to show some more respect for the Americans. America defended Canada during the Cold war, and what the US gets is Paul Martin's whine? That's horrible!!!!

but oh well, it's all ok now. Because Harper is on, and I believe he will do great. For both countries, Canada and the United States.

PROTECT US FROM WHAT!?!?!? You were the one at war with russia! Fuck russia wouldn't attack us during the cold war, we were more worried about you then ourselves! So some respect? Why the fuck don't you try it? Promoting Anti-Americanism? Listen, I am not a fan of Martin, but I don't think he did that. Stop making up shit.

I think the whole of NATO, especially the European nations, do owe a lot to the United States. You did shoulder the major burden of the Cold War; you bailed us out (talking about Europe here) after WW2. Am sure that I'd be starting at a portait of Lenin right now if it hadn't been for the Americans. So for that, many many thanks.

BUT don't dismiss and don't forget that Canada played its part in defending democracy, as did Britain and the continental Europeans etc.

The whole tone of your contribution here, YankGreat, has demonstrated ably why some Canadians don't like your country. I also hope that Canadian/US relations improve - two great neighbours should get on well - but I fear it's an uphill struggle with attitudes like yours.
