Good to see that English teachers are still embroiled in petty conflicts regarding each other's nationalities. And why aren't there more American jokes? Oh, never mind.

sounds like we got a typical canadian...won't own up to the fact that there's more than natural resources, beer, and hockey to stand by on in life...well, they just got too comfortable with those things and won't move onto something new.
at the end of the argument, we will all realize that americans and canadians are similar multi-ethnic/racial mutts with business tycoons, philosophers, hicks..., but that the americans are protecting what's got the canadians so comfortable with. we wouldn't be here without each other.
i'm ok with that. we can work together, you know? eh?

Did you see the news? Now we have to have freakin' passports to go up to what should be ours anyway. Manifest Destiny, baby.
Protect you from the Mexicans? Well, they are certainly a force to be reckoned with... but what about how well you guys protect us from terrorists? "Come on in guys, first 100 get free flying lessons!"

Ahem...the passport issue originated south of the border.
Search 'mayer arar' to see how well screening for terrorists works on both sides of the border...but at least one side is willing to admit when its wrong.

the french, english, and spanish??...we were both fighting against them...sometimes working with them to get what we want...freedom. so, yes, in essence, they were an active part in what we have today.
protection? all you got is icicles, broken beer bottles, and hockey sticks. of course, you need help. but, you do have that cool protective hockey gear.

We never fought the British...the queen is still our head of state....althought its hard to define who 'we' are when our countries were founded by european rejects.
The way I feel about American is essentially this; we both depend on each other greatly, as protectors, trading partners, hockey rivals and beer consumers. While I am very glad to have the almighty USA (until your republic crumbles, as they all do) as a neighbor, I am also very glad not to be part of the republic. Canadians don't feel the need to lie about our nationality when traveling, we aren't manipulated by our government and our media into a constant state of fear (today's terrorists alert level is orange...wtf??), and we certainly aren't disrespected (as much) internationally for our politics.
The Canadian military is working on a secret weapon that immobilizes the victim with maple syrup and then politely-explains-the-rules-of-hockey-to-them to death.

We also wouldn't be here without the French, English and Spanish. Common HISTORY, iddinit?
Careful when you hug a canuck...they scratch and bite when handled without proper use of Molson and hockey gloves.
