ROFLMAO
Canadian conservatives, and especially the Conservative party, "were, up to 1960, largely pro-British and not at all pro-American; if anything, they were largely anti-American in orientation. This goes back to John A. Macdonald and a determination not be American, rooted in the decision of people like my ancestors who fled America in 1784 because they didn't like the American Revolution."
This attitude still prevails today with many canadians
BTW isn't macdonald on one of the $$bills? Which one?
Yep
I'll be in Canada in June..anything philosophy needs spreadin'..e-mail me!! I'm a master at winnin' folks over. (Might just be the twinkle in the Irish eye that does it with foreigners *L*)
I don't know anything about Stockwell Day (actually, when I first came across the name I thought it was a holiday, like Independence Day or MLK day in the US). You HAVE to pardon my ignorance, I TRY to keep up with international politics...but I'm sure you don't know who Mary Harney is either (who is the leader of the PD's in Ireland).
BUT if JLA thinks Stockwell Day is a good guy. I believe him. (He's NEVER put me astray) :-)
Nobody
ROFL!
Bon Soir Encore Mde. Blanche,
Ca va, bien, j'espere.
Most US conservatives agreed that W. was extraordinarily electable and all D's feared him the most. Think about the foreign policy he has presented. It's extraordinarily aggressive and most of our allies hate it, but W will have everyone on board before any other action because he has great political skills. Those that know him understand that fact.
P.S. Great game on Sunday. We really need to do it more often. I wish we had a North America Cup once a year between Teams Canada and USA.
He's on the Canadian $10.
You live north of Toronto?
Just kidding.
I've always supported an unofficial alliance of the English countries with the US in charge.
That's me. A vous language with a tu personality.
Bon soiree ['n I ain't doin' one of them there fancy accent things over the e.]
