no ones bashing but we have separate identities and separate histories. no one is better than the other but im very proud that canada won its freedom without bloodshed that alone may not seem significant but everything holds some significance JMO

Ters, Where did you get that info? Russia and Germany was bombing the crap out of Europe, then we stepped in. Tell what you just wrote to the 60's where you have a Thread about Canada.
To Canada, We are proud to have you as our neighbors. We have got along so well, don't let a few try to spoil it. Let me know if you find that Thread. Thanks

 Teddy Ters Pedro................Oh Teddy, from what I have seen Ters write in the threads, he does support the military people of all of North America..............I think sometimes that tongue-in-cheek conversation is misconstrued.
History is a great teacher if people would listen to the mistakes and the triumphs shared between the pages of time.
We taught our children, to question and then to act, in a sensible matter regarding peace in this world. Unfortunately, at the moment, most of you are too young to take the reins of government. Once you are there, then the answer is simple: just keep the peace.
This applies to dealing with those who are the "bad apples" anywhere in this world. Best to just recognize them for what they are and ignore them. If the majority does this, then peace will resume.
........as for building foundations..........the entire world needs to get off the oil addiction, then maybe we don't have to invade other countries to cover the dependance.
Cheers to my Canadian neighbors and hope you all enjoyed your Victoria Day holiday.

I'm with you on this one, Jwp. I have been all over the US and always was treated kindly--in fact better than kindly by everyone I met. However, I have heard derogatory remarks made, usually by younger US citizens. But, for sure I have heard many Canadians sound off about their feelings for our more powerful neighbours.  The majority of both our citizens realize how important our peaceful and friendly border is. Many of us have relatives on both sides of that border and I personally also have many friends that are American. I guess like neighbours everywhere we find things we like about each other and still there are things on which we don't think alike.

moreover we still have those primal fight or flight urges that cloud our judgement. This certainly makes peace a difficult thing to achieve. That said, however, it is also very human to try and rise above such animosity, to become more than we are or ever thought we could be. The world can become paradise or hell on earth and we will be the heralds of such fate. So much power for change i hope it will be for the good
I certainly intend to work for peace

Pedro, it's good to hear from someone so young. Your generation is going to be our next heads of state. Sometimes, old-timers like myself, have trouble seeing how high our youth aim, and how patriotic they are. Thanks for re-newing my faith and hope for the future.

I wouldn't what to discourage "anyone" from visiting Colorado (it's well worth the trip) but, Jwp, the price of gas in the US is not much cheaper than here in Canada.

 If you are not blowing thier horn then don't matter to them. They don't know to much about us , land our ways or language , look at so of the programs when they are asked about Canada,  . When I went to school I learned about the states and remeber a fair amount still, they are south of us. , and the states and the capital in Washington, ask them the same question

Please don't take what those ignorant people say seriously. We are ALL not like them.
They are a disgrace to our country, I LOVE the Canadian culture,
I only wish I could have been lucky enough to have been born and raised in Ontario.
My last female partner was from Perth, and she the best girlfriend a guy could ask for, her family and Canadian friends were the best, and I think she is the best woman I have ever been with. Canadians are the BEST ! And if any of you ever come to the USA, get any grief, or hear any grief from any Americans PLEASE do not pay any attention to them. It is pretty obvious those people are so ignorant they have no idea what Timn Horton's is, what Harvey's is, what a Canadian Tattoo is, don't know what the Beer Store is, don' t know what a two four is, no idea who Red Green is, and probably can not skate or curl.
