Wow! Once again I’m amazed (not really)at the bullshit that some and I mean some Americans think and speak. I’m dam proud to be a Canadian, because it is the greatest country on earth, and we Canadians don’t have too run around telling ourselves that out loud in public ad nausea like Americans do, to every person who will listen or be forced to hear their rant because they have to say it loud enough over and over just like one of those hypnosis tapes. The reason we Canadians don’t have to do this is because we no it in our hearts. I live in a border town and just so you’ll know I’m not anti-American, actually I’m quite fond of our friends to the south. But when you start talking about my country and its faults, like the U.S. is a perfect country, that pisses me off! Manny you want to go live in the U.S. go ahead move, but as soon as you cross the border you better buy a gun so as to protect yourself from your new gun toting countrymen. Robert I am getting tired of hearing about our porous border propaganda that is totally bullshit, a porous border it what you have between the U.S. and Mexico. Americans talk about free speech like they have it, well I guess they do as long as they wait in a (long,long,long)line at their capital behind tons of huge wealthy lobby groups with millions to spend(hope they brought their check book with them). To be honest I feel sorry for or friends to the south as greed is taking over more and more of their country. Home of the hostile takeover, so a few can make a couple more dollars on their stocks, and to hell with the people who have worked their whole life at a company for 20 to 30 yrs and made it the successful company(s) it is, so what lay them off or fire them(so much for loyalty and honour). And what about this great nations healthcare, millions of people who can’t afford to pay for insurance and live with the threat of an illness or an accident could financially wipe-out their whole life savings in a instant, or worse the children, woman and men who die because they don’t have enough money or their insurance runs out and their kicked to the curb. Amazing with all this wealth in the states and people especially children are left to suffer. Healthcare may be slow in Canada sometimes but at least every man, woman and child has a free and legal right to it. “Freedom isn’t very free if you can’t afford it”. Now to those who talk about freedom of speech in the U.S. I can remember not to long ago when Bush was starting another war and some Americans wouldn’t believe his propaganda, their lives were threatened if they spoke out against the president or didn’t agree with him publicly. That brings to mind another truth and that is that American politicians along with the aid of the CIA are the best in the world at propaganda yes its true, it might have been mother Russia years ago and I mean many many years ago, but the American politicians learned very fast and in my opinion were better at it then anyone else by the cold wars end. I know our Canadian constitution may be different than the United States but is no less important. Are there laws that need changed here? Definitely. Have the human rights commissions gotten off track? Yes I do believe they have, and for some time now, but I don’t that was always the case. Should we do away with the Hrcs completely? I think we should. I believe the worst thing to happen to Canada was and always will be multiculturalism. Instead of forcing immigrants to fan out and populate the small towns and cities across the country and embrace their new freedoms and start over with a fresh life in Canada, like the original immigrants did years ago. Instead we started letting them all move into the big cities, grouping together and espousing their politics from their homeland instead of quietly assimilating into the Canadian culture and making this their homeland. I think it is sad that our government went after Ernst Zundell with a passion, even deporting him for spreading hate literature but these imams can spread far more hate and even talk about killing fellow Canadians but the government won’t do anything about it. Enough is enough it is time for the government to grow some balls and throw these people out of our country. I apologize if I have offended my friends from the U.S. but all of what I have mentioned was told to me by my American friends, which I have many. Thank you for taking the time to read this and may tomorrow bring us a better day!
