Exactly, but that was 2 weeks, imagine that but never ending, I'd get tired of that shit real fast. It's one thing to be patriotic, but most Americans don't know fuck all except that America is #1, canadians live in igloos (serioulsy, ask anyone down south), and that their dollar is worth 100 times more than the monopoly money we have here.

Ironic. Your view on Americans is the exact same as the one you believe they have of us.

Exaggeration perhaps Lomac. I don't believe they all think that but I do believe most of them don't know, and don't care about anything outside of their own country. Posted via RS Mobile
It's funny because there are just as many redneck Canadians that think exactly like the Americans from the south. They are just as bigoted, just as patriotic and even believe we should be just as gun happy.
So why are we viewed as friendly and they are viewed as dumb stupid rednecks, because they have like 200 million more of them, and were so small no one gives a rats ass? Posted via RS Mobile

Stereotypes. There will always be a core group who personifies it but, for the rest of the country, it's nothing more than a stigma given to them by other people.
As a whole, I believe there's the same percentage of Canadians who are uber-polite and say "I'm sorry" all the damn time as there is Americans who believe it's their "Gawd-givin' rite!" to bear arms, salute the flag every morning, and hop into their pickup truck with the intention of "huntin' down some 'dem nigga's!"
Yeah? And so did Harper. People often vote for the party, not the person who heads it. Or, often they vote for a party because they don't want the other one getting in. It's not necessarily indicative of them all being gun-toting idiots.
Stereotypes are started for a reason, and it's usually because the majority holds some truth. Sure lots of people are viewed incorrectly because of a stereotype, but then there's two more people behind them reinforcing it. Posted via RS Mobile

The key part is that he won twice imo.

Listening to half of you FOB's saying "I'll go back to China/Korea" really shows me how much you take this country for granted. IMO if you're NOT prepared to fight for your country you should GTFO and let the door hit your ass on the way out.
Anyone who tries to leave to country at a time of war on our land should be rounded up and used as human shields or bait. Especially those running into YVR with suitcases of cash demanding a flight back to...
If you wanted to fight the guns would be there. Basically what I am asking is would you die for Canada? Stop worrying about logistics. ALSO, who says you need guns? IED's? Find a enemy all alone with his assault rifle, knife him, pick up his gun.
5 years into the future USA has managed to piss off the entire global community. Everyone has ceased importing because there currency is worthless. Now they are desperate for water, minerals and oil. They look north. They fake mutiple terrorist attacks and blame them on Canada. With the nation supporting them, they attack Canada.
Would you fight for Canada, or would you let them take over?
*** I know my scenario is vague and very very very unlikely, but this is just a what if. ****
By the time US is desperate for water, mineral, and oil, they'll write a letter to Canadian Government then their "friendly neighbor" would just hand everything over.
Yeah, I don't believe in that religion mumbo jumbo. Actions are louder than words and prayers. I somehow have major doubts that the Surrey population would stick around and fight.
lol @ belkas false nationalism. what are you fighting for exactly? have you ever heard of globalization?
canada is a subculture of the US... ppl like you just buy into the govt's concious effort to broadcast "canadian" material to give u sense of belonging and patriotism.
canada is the size of california with a very diverse and ethnic division of its population. what does it exactly mean to be canadian nowadays?
ps. my canadian roots trace deeper than the majority of you guys posting so fuck off if u flame me
but not in intelligence... I know it was near 200 years ago, but it means that it can be done. David and Goliath type shit.

come on people remember 300? we as Canadians are like that

im from richmond i would fight
if a random war started though...i doubt that we would all get uniforms, have proper weapons, ect. therefore it would be hard to fight as i would hate to kill any fellow Canadians
between satellite pictures, and body heat sensors, we stand no chance in modern warfare... I'll let them take over
What we need is a Canadian version of Jack Bauer to save us. I'll fight for my country, but I'll probably be dead before I have a chance to fight back... fuck.
id fight, we produce better soldiers, its been proven time and again that a determined smaller force can resist a far superior force for as long as they really need too
Canada like the US doesnt have ANY troops anymore that arent veterens of multiple campaigns over seas
but for all the smack talk we get, the Canadian Forces have an extremely decorated military history, something we can all be very proud of
and keep this scenario in the back of your brain next time some queer from the NDP starts talking about cuts to the defense budget, there was a time when Canada had one of the top 10 standing armies in the world we arent even in the top 50 anymore

who was that comedian who jokes about the americans "become an army of one" ad campaign and talks about taking all of Canada's defense budget and building one "Iron Man" type guy.
