Yes, after 150 years, loony libs are only able to define Canada as ‘not America’. Of course FWIW, the DOMINION of Canada was founded as a means to prevent the British North American colonies from being taken over by the most modern, well equipped and experienced army, let alone one of, it not the largest armies in the world (blue and grey combined). So, in a way, the libs are correct, excepting that after 150 years, they SHOULD be able to have come up with something different than ‘not being America’s, poutine, and ‘eh’ versus ‘huh’.
Since so few understand the history of this country, they are unable to explain the differences. Of course, with the biggest, loudest, most jingoistic (in a certain way) culture machine broadcasting 24/7, and Canadian radio and TV buying as much US broadcast ‘entertainment’ as it can, we are becoming more ‘American’ than ever! Given it is culture of ‘MTV’, (c)rap music, CNN, etc., it is the WORST of your culture that we are importing, NOT the benign things like Fox News.
As I am partaking of a BBQ, I have neither the time, nor the patience to examine the many subtle and not so subtle differences. I will enjoy my DOMINION Day (NOT Canada Day), since I am aware enough to know that the country I reside in is CANADA and I don’t need to be reminded of that fact on the 150th anniversary of the DOMINION of Canada!
Early good wishes to you and yours for a happy 4th of July!
yes indeed... one of the worst things for Canada has been Amwerican television
(in visiting Toronto in about 1970 or so, I was graciously ushered into my hosts’ home...only to discover the rest of his family glued to their boobtoob........with (as I recall) the announcement, ‘This is “Love American Style” from WGY-Buffalo!!!!”
pure inanity, 24/7. rotted millions of Americans’ minds...has same effect on all who watch it, including even Canadians
I figured Canada was sunk, just maybe with an extra ten years (over USA) to pull out of the dive. From what I can see of Canadian politics today, they didn’t recover.
Happy Dominion Day to you!
