A strong oil price and the faltering U.S. economy have enabled the Canadian dollar to surpass the greenback in value for the first time in nearly 31 years.

The Canadian dollar rose as high as US$1.0001 just before 11 a.m. on Thursday -- something that hasn't happened since Nov. 25, 1976. Canadian dollar's surge in recent days follows a decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve to slash a key interest rate in a bid to calm mounting concerns over the depth of a crisis in the U.S. mortgage market. Meanwhile, prices for commodities such as oil, gold and base metals -- items found in healthy abundance in Canada -- remain near record levels. The Canadian dollar has risen US5¢ this month alone, a move that caps a surge of more than 60% since the loonie hit a rock bottom value of less than US62 cents in early 2002.

WTF is the 3 for?? -->          Topic: CANADA >3 USA

Or were you trying to say       Topic: CANADA <3 USA

nice comeback... grammer buttmonkey.

[Blackberry]

exactly why are you happy the canadian dollar is stronger than the american?

Is this so that when you come to america you get more money for your dollar and you can afford a better hotel?

Or are you simply happy that now canadian merchendise will cost more in the USA making your products less competetive here?  Did you know that having a weak currency is strong for the economy by making that countries products more competetive (i.e. cheaper) in forigen markets?  

If you're just happy that you can get more US$ for your CA$ now, then be happy.  If, on the other hand, you think this matters for some other reason then I'd love to know what it is because i could use a good chuckle.

If you know anything about economics and investing, and the sub-prime lending market that completely crashed and how the housing market for the lower class citizens of America will not be able to get loans because of lack of equity and assets, they will look to Canada for equity loans, and since our interests rates will increase due to the Canadian dollar increasing (which sucks) the money that will be made from your market crash will in the end benefit our economy and GDP will continue to grow at an excellent rate including our natural resources (our oil which is our biggest commodity) bringing it up to about 3.5-4.5% in growth a year, should the markets hover around like this for a while.

america outnumbered canada/britian and still lost the war i think america has been our bitch for a long time. I can see why most Americans have an inferiority complex

[justin]

Lost the war? :<

-The war was fought from 1812 to 1815 and involved both land and naval engagements. Britain was at war with France and, to impede American trade with France, imposed a series of restrictions that the U.S. contested as illegal under international law. The Americans declared war on Britain on June 18, 1812 for a combination of reasons: outrage at the impressment (seizure) of thousands of American sailors into the British navy, frustration at British restraints on neutral trade, and anger at British military support for American Indians defending their tribal lands from encroaching American settlers.

-The Americans destroyed the power of the native people of the Northwest and Southeast, thus securing a major war goal. The trade restrictions and impressment by the British had ended, removing another root cause of the war. Both nations eventually agreed to a peace that left the prewar boundaries intact.

-The war had the effects of both uniting Canadians and also uniting Americans far more closely than either population had been prior to the war. Canadians remember the war as a victory by avoiding conquest, while Americans celebrated victory in a "second war for independence" personified in the hero of New Orleans, Andrew Jackson.

Why does it seem like Canadians are always trying to prove they're better?

[CaKe]

i think america has been our bitch for a long time.

thats a pretty comical statement.

[amarris]

thats all fine and dandy, if you read the first few paragraphs only. Continue on reading and you will see america planned to attack Canada because they thought it would be easy territory while, the canadians, indians repelled americans preventing being taken over.

[justin]

I'm not really sure what your point is.  Americans tried to take over parts of Canada that were controlled by British colonies.  It was defended by the Indians, Canada, and the British.  You seem to forget the British were also trying to take over parts of America, which were stopped by the Americans.  Had the Canadian army not bought off Indians and had British help, America easily could have just marched in and taken the land.  All this considering America had been independent for what, 20 years?  The British were able to finance the war with no problems.  You go on to say that America had more people, but you fail to mention that the British actually have a MUCH larger army.  The majority of the Americans fighting were merely militia, because they were fighting for their freedom.

[amarris]

Are we talking about the same war here? America was supplying France, who was in a war with Britain at the time, as well Britain was fighting in the Spanish war at this point as well. America then took it upon themselves to try and take over Canada as it was a British Colony that ran on its own but still followed the monarchy because they were not happy with Britain cock blocking them. Very few British militants were involed in the war of 1812, most of the fighters were indians and already settled french and british ie: canadian citizens. Upon the American forces invading, they were fended off at which point counterattacks were planned against the Americans who had many more numbers in the first place when attacking Canada. ie: you attacked our parliaments buildings, we burned down the whitehouse. Your pointis moot about American militants, wtf u think most of Canada was? Guns a blazing Brits? I really dont think so.

Point, America tried and failed against a smaller more organized army, and even to this day, that is how Americans are recognized in war, not for their battle prowess but their numbers and technology. Now dont get me wrong, Americans do have a decent army, they just arent the best fighters in the world given their status as a super power in the world. Many historians believe Canadians to be a stronger force due to their ability to fight and not because of their numbers and technology (ww1 and ww2). Same reason why your special force units like the green berets, delta force etc. are ranked below the Canadian JTF2 in world affairs, not to mention troops from the american army are sent to Canada for training with the JTF2 elite force. Canadians are just better at it.

[amarris]

The Burning of Washington is the name given to the burning of Washington, D.C., by British/Canadian forces in 1814, during the War of 1812

Also, what does it matter that 1$US=1$CA?  They are arbitrary currencies and amounts like the yen that move against each other.  1:1 is no 'magic' number here.  You have not surmounted some major obstacle here.

You want to let our lower middle class borrow money from you?  Isn't this the exact problem?  And why do you think we don't want your GDP to grow at 3.5-4.5% a year?  did you just completely own me and the whole USA by doing that?  Grow all you want, we don't care.

Please tie together your obviously researched reply with your original OWNED statement so that I may understand your truly remarkable economical ingenuity.

And I look like a dumbass?  Make more posts on how awesome Canada is to a population that doesn't care. I thought this was a friendly little cock swing and you posted that to get replies like mine, but you really care??  Wow, that's sad.  I'm not the one that's getting all mad about this so while I may be the 'dumbass' you're fucking pathetic.

All in all, I "love" Americans. they are my favourite.

You're country is a facade. It reminds me of the problems in Iran, that is; make believe to the media to generate fears in the militia and opposing countries. It's all one big movie.

no really, I did.  I also majored in chemistry.  It's been a while with the econ though so i'm a bit rusty. 

they are an economics major, you must of been sleeping through class...

maybe i was. . . .

and what the fuck you talking about the yen for?

It's to draw a paralell line of reasoning so one may more easily see my point, i think they call it a metaphor, or in smaller words for you:  It's talking about one thing that's kinda like the other thing, but not exactly.

my post had absolutely nothing to do with the yen in any sort of comparative way, nor free trade with international parties.

and mine did.  see metaphor.  Also, other countries are worried that their empoyment rate will skyrocket since the $US is dropping so low, meanwhile we have no such concern here.  OWNED what?

Dear America,

Stop fucking up, because at this rate, Alberta cannot keep up with the boom. It]s already hard enough to find someone to work in a department store/fast food restaurant.  Just stop it already and let us fill these job titles. The freaking oil companies have projected to keep us busy in Alberta for the next 5-10 years, that's roughly drilling 500 wells a year in Northern Alberta alone, we do not need to create more work here as there is enough already.

Thanks kindly,


Canada

Just to be clear, you're saying the oil boom in canada is because america is 'fucking up', right?

I read an article a couple of years ago about the huge supplies of oil in canada.  The problem with the oil there is that it's literally filthy, there's a lot of sand or dirt or something in it that saudi oil didn't have, saudi oil was considered 'sweet crude' or something along those lines.  Because of the dirt, the oil would have to be cleaned before refining which would drive up the cost enough to make it too expensive to do at the then current price of a barrel of crude.  Since then, the cost of oil has more than or almost doubled (?), it's at 90 something a barrel i think making it economical to clean canadian oil which would in turn lead to a boom in alberta.  It's also true that american reliance on oil is helping the boom in alberta as it's helping the price of oil go up, but I wouldn't call this america 'fucking up'.  Let's hope for canada's sake that opec doesn't decide to increase supply once all your oil wells are up and running though!

Also, the $CA going up against the dollar only hurts your oil revenue since you're now getting less money for your exports to USA.  I'm sure the high oil prices are compensating nicely though.  Sorry about your fast food restaurants and department stores not having any workers, that sucks big time.

Well you are part right Blackberry, about Canadian crude not being as sweet. Difference between Sweet and Sour is the H2S content. Anything with more then 1% H2S (hydrogen sulfide) is considered sour oil. The process in which its pulled from the ground is no different then Saudi sweet oil because regardless of its sourness oil still needs to be somewhat refined for shipping (less then 1% H2S content in order for it to be deemed safe for transportation anywhere in the world)

This is done by pushing crude through seperators to remove the sulphur and water based content, sulphur is kept and sold seperately for use in every day products while the water is shipped off to waste management facilities and the chemicals such as inhibitor etc are removed and water is then put back into the ground/lakes/rivers etc.

For the last 5 years Canadas oil wells have been running non stop, with more and more wells being drilled every year because of the high demand (90% of our exports are to the USA, always has been) This is for 2 reasons, 1 .its cheaper for Canada to refine it into sweet crude then it is to buy oil from the saudis and have it shipped to american refineries 2. most of the oil companies that have their fingers in the oil up here are American owned. Hell, 2 of the largest production companies up here are owned by George Bush's company(Apache and Kereco)

And now with Oil Sand projects going on in the Fort McMurray area, oil is even cheaper to remove from the ground using only steam to seperate it with the oil being just as sweet as saudi oil. Furthermore the oil supply in Canada is probably the largest in the World. Every day they are finding more and more big supplies of it in the ground. They are starting to find more resivoirs in BC. and now some in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and now even as far as Newfoundland.

Regardless of what happens anywhere in the world, we are Americans supply for crude oil, so there will always be work, just not to the point of how its so damn crazy right now.

First you say you like the responses, now you tell me to shut up because you didn't know about something I said.  wow you're insecure.  I know all oil needs to be refined, I was under the impression that canadian oil required an extra step because it had more impurities or dirt or something.  You have offered no facts yourself on this so isn't it ironic that you tell me to shut up about it.  Like I said, it's been a few years on the article and it was in a magazine, not sure which magazine.  Hey, maybe i'm wrong, maybe the oil i'm talking about is somewhere else in canada and not in Alberta.  There must be a pretty good reason that oil in Alberta is being drilled so much now.  Any thoughts ksoul?  Why is there a sudden explosion of oil drilling there?  Give specifics, not blanket statements like 'the sub-prime lending crisis' or 'the $CA being worth more than $US.  If you have no idea, just tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and to go away, seems to be you're only answer to anything.

Why you get your panties in a twist from my prior posts is beyond me.  My only gripe with you is your handling of what I said, If you can't handle a counterpoint then don't post in the first place.  If you find Americans moronic because they can provide dialogue that counters your claims, then that just speaks volums of your insecurity.

P.S.  Ok, so i wrote that before amarris's response.  It's not sand or dirt, it's hydrogen sulfide.

P.P.S.  Ksoul, sorry about the big words, but I can't help what they named the lightest element.

[ksoul]

for someone who talks a big game, I don't think they would confuse a simple particle such as "sand" to hydrogen sulfide.

And what about the subprime lending market? is it backup info you want?

Over the last few months sub-prime mortgages have affected US financial markets. Sub-prime
mortgages are loans granted to homebuyers with little income or assets. To finance such loans,
issuers often bundle them together into short-term Asset-Backed Commercial Paper or
longer term Mortgage Backed Securities and sell them to investors in tranches of different
credit-quality ratings. High-quality mortgages can also be bundled. Structured
Investment Vehicles is a general term for debt obligations structured into tranches. structures are purchased primarily by investors who elect to renew or roll-over as they mature, every 30 to 90 days. An extendible loan can be prolonged beyond the stated maturity date by the issuer, notably when too few investors agree to renew or rollover..

Several issuers of sub-prime mortgages in the US have gone bankrupt as a result of rising default
rates caused by poor loan practices and rising interest rates. This situation has impacted some
large financial institutions who underwrote sub-prime deals or bought sub-prime tranches. In
addition, investors’ sentiment that conditions of cheap and easy credit may be coming to an end
has had a negative impact on global markets.

Recent studies show that the Canadian money market mutual funds sector may have invested in sub-prime assets but those who have not will find profits in corporate investing due to an increase in interest rates. Thus, Continuing to reinvest in national and global banks will continue growth keeping canada's interest rates at an all time low and going forward, steady GDP growth in our exports even though the canadian dollar is at par with the US.

[ksoul]

thus highlighting amarris's post on how america fucked up. Sub prime lending market. Don't get me wrong i love the states, but im just proving my point. on how the canadian dollar compared to the american dollar will actually do alot more for our economy thatn you think.

the next rhetorical question is; intrest rates increasing in the U.S, creating a domino affect trickling down into your goods and services (GDP). It looks as if your prices will soon be increasing, probably similar to ours.

"Up to 100,000 Canadian autoworkers and parts makers could be out of work by the end of this week due to the UAW strike against General Motors in the U.S., Buzz Hargrove predicted Monday.

That's how many Canadians are employed supplying GM plants in the U.S. with transmissions, engines, pistons, and myriad other automotive parts.

"It is not inconceivable that by the end of this week, we could have anywhere between 80,000 and 100,000 people unemployed, mostly in Ontario, but some in Quebec," said Hargrove, president of the CAW, the Canadian auto workers union."

[DK]

Shawn, when are we going to A-Tan....I'm craving some General Tso.

[Blackberry]

thus highlighting amarris's post on how america fucked up.

he stated there was a boom in alberta, largly attributed to oil.  he said nothing about the sub-prime lending markets and my previous post showed that the boom there had more to do with oil prices than anything else.

Sub prime lending market.

re-read your post:

Recent studies show that the Canadian money market mutual funds sector may have invested in sub-prime assets

seems canada dun fucked up too.  DOH!

Don't get me wrong i love the states, but im just proving my point. on how the canadian dollar compared to the american dollar will actually do alot more for our economy thatn you think.

since most of that was just showing how mortgage bundling works, I assume you mean the last paragraph, where it says:

but those who have not will find profits in corporate investing due to an increase in interest rates. Thus, Continuing to reinvest in national and global banks will continue growth keeping canada's interest rates at an all time low and going forward, steady GDP growth in our exports even though the canadian dollar is at par with the US.

so what did you mean by 'find profis in corporate investing due to an increase in interest rates' when at the end you state that 'keeping canada's interest rates at an all time low'?  I'm going out on a limb here because like I said, i'm a bit rusty, but it sounds like investing in canadian banks is good because while they can borrow their money for a very low interest rate, they can lend it to americans at a higher interest rate, yielding a very nice little profit.  I agree, this is a source of money, but who are you going to lend to?  Sub-Prime borrowers?  If you increase the rates on them to cover your ass, will they borrow from you?  I need you to guide me through that part please.

On a side note, let's do some number crunching:  A canadian bank lends $CA 1,000 to a US citizen (which is converted to $US 1000 at the even 1:1 exchange rate) at a 10% interest rate for 1 year.  The canadian bank needs to pay this back to the canadian fed at a low interest rate, say 2%.  Over the course of the year, the canadian dollar strengthens, it now costs 1$US to buy 0.9 $CA, go canada!!!

The US citizen pays back $US 1100 which we can now convert to canadian currency.  $US 1100*($CA 0.9/$US 1) = $CA 990  The canadian bank needs to pay back the canadian fed $CA 1020.  Oops, they just lost money.

still happy the canadian dollar is so strong?

the next rhetorical question is; intrest rates increasing in the U.S, creating a domino affect trickling down into your goods and services (GDP). It looks as if your prices will soon be increasing, probably similar to ours.

ksoul, please break it down for us! (or at least show the link where you copy/pasted this stuff so that I may read it)  I talk a big game because i'm interested in it and I know something about it.  And about the hydrogen sulfied, I said there was something in it, i thought it was sand, dirt, or some impurity.  Don't be all sore because it turns out I was essentially right.  Canadian oil requires more refinement than saudi, yet to my comments you stated:

I'd like to see this article, post the link. Refining oil is part of the process, and the fact that you say it has more "sand" in it than that of the middle east, is a folk tale. Stop acting like you know what youre talking about because you obviously have no idea.

which was a direct response to my saying:

The problem with the oil there is that it's literally filthy, there's a lot of sand or dirt or something in it that saudi oil didn't have, saudi oil was considered 'sweet crude' or something along those lines.

seems I was talking about something that I had a good idea about whereas you were jsut talking out of your ass.

By the way, I totally agree that the sub-prime lending market is putting our economy into the shitter, yet I don't think this means Canada >3 USA, much less Canada > 1 USA.

Shawn, when are we going to A-Tan....I'm craving some General Tso.

I'm not too sure man, but soon I think.  Sorry about the delay man, I'll try to give you a call soon sir!

[ksoul]

blackberry I'm not going to even bother arguing with you. I proved my point. all said and done. I'm not talking about oil. I'm talking about interest rates, investing, and U.S corporations looking to invest because of our lower interest rates compared to the US's which will soon increase.

And it's not a copy and paste it's from my mouth. anything else?

We could debate investing, markets, whatever the fuck else turns you on. But this is my job. and what I do for a living and I am extremely good at it or I would have been fired long ago for giving wrongful direction as to where corp.'s and investors should put there money for tax efficient, low interest rate investing.

so for now shh, your posts are extremely annoying now and condescending to something you seem to know nothing about.

Debating/arguing (especially politics) over the interenet is like winning the special Olympics. no matter if you win, you're still fucking retarded.

Slightly along the lines of this topic -

I have been watching that PBS movie called 'The War', not to mention it is an amazing account of WWII, but did show how US and Canadian Troops worked together on some fronts.  I didn't realize how involved the two were at times, during that war. 

I think is it pretty cool to see this history between our two nations and the bond between the two.  All this 'we are better than you' talk, seems kinda self defeating.  I see it on many forums shared between the two countries.

MONTREAL - Government investigators in Canada said Tuesday they've learned how hackers broke into the computer systems of Framingham-based retailer TJX to engineer a massive data breach.

Canada's privacy commissioner said a hacker or hackers intercepted wireless transfers of customer information at two Marshalls stores in the Miami area owned by TJX.

The investigation led by Canadian Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart faults TJX for failing to upgrade its data encryption system.

Stoddart also said TJX retained years-old customer data that should have been purged.

In January, TJX disclosed a breach that exposed at least 45 million credit and debit cards to potential fraud.

A TJX spokeswoman said the company hasn't drawn any conclusions in its investigation, but suspects a wireless system exploitation.

TJX is the parent company of T.J. Maxx, Marshall's and other stores.

An interesting CBS news story claims that a man by the unfortunate name of Joseph Thomas Colon broke into FBI computer systems and stole the passwords of 38,000 employees. Colon, apparently, gained access to files on the Witness Protection Program and counterintelligence. Granted, Colon was a consultant hired by the FBI to do legitimate work on bureau system. Although, it is not stated the extent of guy's pre-existing access as a consultant, it is, however, specified that he used freely available hacking tools, which he downloaded from the internet.

The article goes on state that the transgression was a curiosity hack and was most likely not an attempt to compromise national security. Further, it is noted, Colon pleaded guilty to charges resulting from the incident and faces up to 18 months in jail. I, however, can't help but wonder... how many bureau hacking incidents are never reported, or worse, are successfully perpetrated without being noticed?

I didn't know popularity was considered in how good a school was? The only reason any of those schools mentioned in the states are known is thanks to TV and Movies, atleast to the rest of the world. I can name pretty much all the famous/good universities in Canada, sorry they aren't on TV all the time to get world renown.

McGill University, U of Toronto, U of Ottawa, U of Alberta, U of Waterloo, McMaster University, U of Montreal, Trent University and there is about 10 more or so spread out across Canada that are good/higher end schools. I would say thats a pretty decent amount of Universities given the population difference between Canada and America. 

[Blackberry]

You know I'm just kidding.  I'm sure your school system is better than ours in a lot of ways.

How does the University of Allberta rank among them?  Just curious since there's a professor there doing similar research to mine.

[WORM]

What research is that? On which beer is horse piss and which is donkey piss, Molson or Labatts? 

[amarris]

Its a pretty decent school along with U of BC and Calgary, every school really has their own specialization so hard to say where it ranks vs. others.

[amarris]

TBH, no one cares about pot, its like cigarettes now, everyone has and does smoke it.

Anyways it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Canada > States (maybe just a Canadian :/ ) I think there is more then enough proof across these forums already, from videos being posted to some americans opening their mouthes and spouting non-sense to world economics. Hell even history has proven America to be Canadas bitch and we like it that way. So I will continue to stay here in Canada and enjoy my free health care, clean air, stronger and better beer, good schooling and growing prosperity, while watching as America drives itself further into debt.

I think the best thing about all these threads  - Americans are the highest on the immigration list of Canada.


Canada - http://immigration.about.com/od/livingincanada/a/USLibstoCanada_2.htm

1)...is a peaceful nation with no enemies, good international relationships (including with Cuba), and is at minuscule risk for a terror attack.

2)...has no abortion laws whatsoever, abortion is legal, without restriction. But the rate of abortions in the country is relatively low.

3)...in many provinces, recognizes and fully accepts gay marriage as a legal institution, even for immigration purposes.

4)...has socialized medicine that Canadians report satisfaction with. No Canadian goes without health care.

5)...has no death penalty.

6)... has tough gun control laws, and, it just so happens, a murder rate about three times lower than that in U.S.

7)...has a general maternity leave of one year off for mothers, at 80 percent of their salary.

... has a more balanced education system, where schools in poor areas deliver the same quality of education as those in wealthy locales. 

As if that weren't enough to warrant serious thoughts of relocation by Kerry supporters, Canada is also: Culturally rich, diverse and multilingual; The per capita rate of college-educated residents is about 30 percent higher than the U.S. rate; The economy and standard of living are good; And, perhaps the clincher is that, overall, even the most conservative citizens disapprove of George W. Bush.

Peaceful?  Tough gun control laws? no death penalty? recognizes gay marriages?  All this proves is that Canadians are pussies.

Oh, and about maternity leave..even your women are pussies... Ours still work when impregnanted...didn't you watch the Wheel of Fortune?

[amarris]

Peaceful?

rather not have to worry about terrorist attacks, but if thats what you like, all the more power to ya.

  Tough gun control laws? no death penalty? recognizes gay marriages?  All this proves is that Canadians are pussies.

Yeah, because shooting someone in the back with a gun, instead of fighting him man to man, makes ya tough, buncha fucking cowards if you cant fight man to man. Who cares about no death penalty, when they get out of jail, they get beat up /killed anyways, so we save money by doing it ourselves instead of paying the government to do it. As for gay marriages, what other people do is not our business, as that apparently is not America's stance, they like to stick their nose where it doesn't belong and get themselves involved.

Oh, and about maternity leave..even your women are pussies... Ours still work when impregnanted...didn't you watch the Wheel of Fortune?

Where does is say they dont work while impregnated? Maternity leave is for when the baby is born, woman can take a year off to take care of the child and actually do some parenting. Sorry that your wives/gf's must continue to work even after the child is born, but here in Canada a man will take care of his family because we're not pussies and dont need her to work to make ends meet.

whats the difference between me posting and the rest of you posting? Im pretty sure almost no one here has lived in Canada, yet continue to talk shit about it? So are we playing double standard here, or we going by who actually lived here and there? Anyways, ive lived in 3 different provinces across Canada, Ontario, Quebec and Alberta. And ive also been to a few states for periods at a time (2-4 weeks). Cali, Texas, NY, Florida and Alabama. Ive also driven through Illiniois, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

well then, why the hell didn't you say so to begin with?  I have lived in many places, and there are assholes everywhere, some have more than others, but my point is, dude, let it go already, some of us are tired of reading the same rearranged words typed by you.

Its not a debate whether theres assholes/stupid people are everywhere, its the matter of them being a  larger concentration of them in America. Through my travels in America, I've met more pompous assholes and retards in NYC alone in 3 weeks then ive met my whole life in Canada.

we all get it, we all know that you are so proud of canada that you could burst a bladder already.  I am happy for you, now shush already, hahaha.  find something else to type about, like the weather perhaps?

Its not about me being proud, but rather putting Americans back in their place, you are no better then Canada, yet so many claim to be, so get off your high horse and accept the fact, more people would rather live in Canada due to nicer things and people. And this isn't me being proud , its a cold hard fact that the rest of the world thinks America is full of doushe bags.

Soon as i got my new computer setup/hooked up to internet, id be more then happy to. Im sure ksoul and naveed would have no problem stomping a hole in some Americans either

[Legend]

If it was up to Canada, Cuba would have Russian nuke missiles planted all over their island! Canada has friends sure, because they have no friggin backbone to stand up for what is right in the world. Of course they are gonna throw the whole middle east thing in our face, which is acceptable, I don't agree we should be there, everything that has been done there is a lie. One good thing to come out of it, is that Saddam has been killed, and their people won't be tortured like they use to be.

Now people living in these 3rd world countries, who live in horrific conditions everyday and fear for their lives. What do they say?
I want to live in America, never do you hear Canada! America is the biggest melting pot in the world. Yes we have our issues just like any other country. But we have been labled the land of the free and home of the brave for a reason. Whats Canada's saying?
Oh I think's it free medical care eHHHH.... and that's aboot it.

Larger concentrations of stupid people in The U.S.?  Is that all you were trying to prove.  No fucking duh, there's a larger concentration of people in The U.S.

In case you guys are starting to think all Canadians hate us, this is an editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator..

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.

Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.

The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars! into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans.

I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?

Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.

You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -! not once, but several times - and safely home again.

You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke.

I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."

Stand proud, America!

After Hurricane Katrina, Cuba volunteered doctors to go to new orleans to help.

So one neighbor country has offered help to us when we had a national disaster, Cuba.

Does this make Cuba > Canada?  How about Cuba > 3 Canada?  Discuss.

amarris - you asked if there is a double standard.  I would say no, due to the topic at hand 'Canada >3 USA'.  Refering to a whole nation as stupid and fat, pissing people off seemed to be your intent.  Kinda odd that you would assume that people would react any differently.

I have many Canadian friends, in the real world, they all get annoyed with the typical Canadian jokes by American's.  Maybe that is why your so pissed off regarding this topic.  Keep in mind, we American's get just as pissed towards the jokes and comments made towards us.

I hope you realize, like you stated before, our two nations are like drunk friends.  We talk shit, but in the end, we have each others backs.

Yeah, because we all know Americans were the first ones to hop into WWI and WWII. You sat back and watched 3 of your closest allies fight , being Canada, Britain and France.

Of course they are gonna throw the whole middle east thing in our face, which is acceptable, I don't agree we should be there, everything that has been done there is a lie. One good thing to come out of it, is that Saddam has been killed, and their people won't be tortured like they use to be.

I do believe Canada is in the middle east, we're still currently fighting in Afghanistan even after being fired upon twice by Americans. And i agree as well, no one should be there, but the good, Saddam is gone.

Now people living in these 3rd world countries, who live in horrific conditions everyday and fear for their lives. What do they say?
I want to live in America, never do you hear Canada! America is the biggest melting pot in the world. Yes we have our issues just like any other country. But we have been labled the land of the free and home of the brave for a reason. Whats Canada's saying?
Oh I think's it free medical care eHHHH.... and that's aboot it.

To be honest, id like to where you got this info from Legend, i dunno about you but i dont know any people that live in a 3rd world country, let alone talk to any. Hell ive met someone who came to Canada and not once did i ever hear him say "i wish i was in america" Anyways, living in a cardboard box is an upgrade for some of these people, they will live where they can, whether it be America, Canada, Britain or wherever. You will also notice that many of these people that come from 3rd world countries end up working lower class jobs because their schooling is considered no good on American terms. Hell the 3 doctors in my town of 2,000 came here instead because they were told their medical qualifications were not good enough even they had passed the american qualification exam. Now 2 of them are regarded as two of the best doctors in northern alberta. They were born and raised in South Africa btw if you were curious.

As for the Canadian reporter, he does make some good points, but also overlooks so much information its appalling and runs borderline ignorance. Some of his points i dont even see the correlation between his main point, WTF does other countries space programs have to do with anything? Because a nation doesnt invest into a space program or make it their mission to land on the moon, they are now anti american? Priorities are different in each country.

And the natural disasters occuring in the states...... no one helps..... you expect a nation that cant even provide for their own people to somehow magically bring supplies? There is enough help within America itself, hell even from Canada and Mexico to take care of the problems that arise. I could understand if these 3rd world countries that are being helped had millions if not billions of dollars to spend, but after all, they are 3rd world.

Sadly, as much fun as it is to rag on Americans, we (Canada) stand on a united front and help regardless of the situation, from War, to anti terrorism, to development in technology, to homeland security. Hence the talk behind a merger of soverignty in N.A

At this point, i would like to just drop it. What it all comes down to, is that no matter what, regardless if it happens in America or Canada, its hands across North America and i think 9/11 was a testament to that.

amarris - you asked if there is a double standard.  I would say no, due to the topic at hand 'Canada >3 USA'.  Refering to a whole nation as stupid and fat, pissing people off seemed to be your intent.  Kinda odd that you would assume that people would react any differently.

I hope you realize, like you stated before, our two nations are like drunk friends.  We talk shit, but in the end, we have each others backs.

I agree, my intent was to piss people off (usually is) and I would say its true, when you attack someone based on their nationality, regardless of in humour or not, people will take offense and it just gets escalated. But im done with it now, i think its be proven now, that no one likes their homeland to be bashed in such a degrading way and only creates more tension and dislike for others.

Regardless, my apologies to all the Americans on here, I have no ill feelings toward anyone and hope that this can all be put to rest now.

Ok, Amarris seems to feel the need to insist that the U.S. has done nothing but fuck everything up, and that the U.S. needs to be put in their place!

OK Mr. Perfect because your shit doesn’t stink!

Let’s take the way back machine back about 100 years or so.  Let’s look at some hard cold facts, shall we?

Please look at this small page http://www.ncmustangs.com/wws I have on my site, which I will add to.  I have compiled a few pages of why I take offense to your slanderous words.  Not because I think I am better than you, I’m not better than anyone else!  I am my own person and I don’t pretend to be something I am not.

But, the people that have died over the years trying to protect the freedoms that so many people all over the world enjoy today should not be disgraced by you!  That offends me greatly!  The MIA’s, POW’s, and the people that made it home living with what they had to do to ensure the future that we share in today deserve better than that!

How many family members have you had suffer a life time of memories of the beaches at Normandy on D-Day, walking over parts of dead friends and then having to kill others to ensure what we all enjoy today?  Hearing about all the horror and carnage from a loved one that was there is disturbing to say the least.

I look at all the memorials, remember all that suffered thru all that, and what they were fighting for, not just for the U.S., but for all mankind! 

Yeah,  the U.S. fucks up, but who’s perfect on this planet anyways?  The way you have turned this thread into your personal attack on the U.S. and why Canada is so much better makes me sick!

I am shocked that you can sit there and not think of the sacrifices that so many others have made!  Not from just one country, but from all over the world!  Get your facts straight before you start slinging that shit around!

lol canada sent red cross people as well as doctors down to assist, and atleast 3 naval ships to help the coast guard with search and rescue



edit: dirt , calm.... down, read my previous post before this one, anyways since you seem to be interested, yes i had 3 family members fight in WWII. My grandpa and his one brother and his cousin. His cousin ended up losing his voice (shot in the throat , rupturing his voicebox). Anyways, ive never insulted the people who have/do fight in war, even if i do not agree with why they are there, i appreciate everything they have done and do. These rants/pics/videos/facts were solely based on Americans as a whole, not to single out people.

Like i said, crack jokes at Canada's expense, prepare to take the flak back, its a two way street. You know how i am, i will cross lines and incite anger, you know this, worm knows this, almost everyone knows this by now. Do not take it personally. I have already apologized and stated i have no ill feelings toward anyone, whether you choose to accept that, thats upto you. Neways, im done with this now, damage has been done.

To quote you "Have a great weekend"

[ksoul]

Peaceful?

rather not have to worry about terrorist attacks, but if thats what you like, all the more power to ya.

  Tough gun control laws? no death penalty? recognizes gay marriages?  All this proves is that Canadians are pussies.

Yeah, because shooting someone in the back with a gun, instead of fighting him man to man, makes ya tough, buncha fucking cowards if you cant fight man to man. Who cares about no death penalty, when they get out of jail, they get beat up /killed anyways, so we save money by doing it ourselves instead of paying the government to do it. As for gay marriages, what other people do is not our business, as that apparently is not America's stance, they like to stick their nose where it doesn't belong and get themselves involved.

Oh, and about maternity leave..even your women are pussies... Ours still work when impregnanted...didn't you watch the Wheel of Fortune?

Where does is say they dont work while impregnated? Maternity leave is for when the baby is born, woman can take a year off to take care of the child and actually do some parenting. Sorry that your wives/gf's must continue to work even after the child is born, but here in Canada a man will take care of his family because we're not pussies and dont need her to work to make ends meet.

amen again. I don't even have to make any remarks for once... amarris is tearing ya'll new assholes.

Seriously, I love a good debate, but this isn't one of them.  It's gotten petty and asanine.  TBH, I don't give a fuck who's better.  We don't walk in your shoes and you all don't walk in ours.  I've seen some pretty good points on both sides, but I doubt you're gonna get anywhere with this.  That's why it's not a good debate.  It's like telling a Canadian hockey fan that hockey sucks or telling an American football fan that football sucks.  Either way, why don't you all just circle rub each others fishing poles, and then go run into a wall as fast as you can.   That way everyone's fishing pole should be about the same length.

Hey now, we were talking about Canada, not dirt's penis.

[Blackberry]

We could, however, start a post about Dirt's penis.  I think such a thread would be both informative and fascinating while consisting of an abundance of new and provocative information, a proverbial harvest of new facts and ideas that we can all rally towards and support while providing no small amount of controversy.  In short, it would be a post far superior to this one.

I think you mean "I couldn't care less" there, Einstein.  

Also, next time you want to convince a population that you don't care, quit posting about it.  This "i don't care but i simply must post" mentality doesn't work nearly as much as you think it does.

[anonymity]

perverts, hehehehe

To be perfectly honest with everyone, I had no intentions of taking this as far as it went.  I didn't even post in this thread until page 3 or 4!  And then, I posted out of good old fashion fun, like all the others were.  I never said anyone was better than the other!  And I believe it was a Canadian that started this thread amarris.  Sorry, I didn't start anything.

I never said that Canada needed slapped down for ANY reason what so ever.  And, I never said anything about Canada in or about any War, until something unwarranted was said by another.  The people that fight and die and suffer deserve better than that, and I would rather not drag them into anything as stupid as this thread has grown to.

I am not the kind of person that would disrespect those that give so much of themselves.  I see all people with the same eyes, and I don't look down at anyone. 

In short, all I posted was playful banter, until someone went over the line of mutually respect for those who earned it.

If, you do decide to start a thread about my penis, DK, KSoul, and a few others have some great pics.  I am sure they would not mind sharing them with whomever wants them.   hahaha, you perverts.  hahahahaha

P.s. Lets bring this to the playing field (aka. ACME MATCH) it's all fun and games on the forum, I don't take any of this seriously. Except for the comment about Dirt's penis that "aroused" my attention.

I know you could care less.  The question is, could you care more?

I think you mean "I couldn't care less" there, Einstein.  

Also, next time you want to convince a population that you don't care, quit posting about it.  This "i don't care but i simply must post" mentality doesn't work nearly as much as you think it does.

hmm you would seem to think so, but you keep replying to it. so you must care alot more than you actually say you do. Did I hurt your wittle feewings?

[Blackberry]

I never said I didn't care.

You did.

Come on man, do I have to point out the obvious?

blackberry I think you need to work on your vocabulary...

[Blackberry]

I'd just like to quote this for irony's sake.  Take note of sentence structure.

blackberry I'm not going to even bother arguing with you. I proved my point. all said and done. I'm not talking about oil. I'm talking about interest rates, investing, and U.S corporations looking to invest because of our lower interest rates compared to the US's which will soon increase.

And it's not a copy and paste it's from my mouth. anything else?

We could debate investing, markets, whatever the fuck else turns you on. But this is my job. and what I do for a living and I am extremely good at it or I would have been fired long ago for giving wrongful direction as to where corp.'s and investors should put there money for tax efficient, low interest rate investing.

Here's more for you.

(especially all those "smart" big "words" you through in their to make it look like you knew what you were talking about. now that's pathetic).

Captain Obvious strikes again!!!

[Blackberry]

Yeah, but Americans kick the shit out of Canadians hands down, at everything.

i agree Freak and i've made a list a top 3 list for you too

1. Obesity
2. Being Dumb
3. Not being liked

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7057951.stm

Basically states obesity is spreading.  while it only estimates american obessity at two thirds of americans as overweight and one third of those as obease (so 66% overweight, 1/3 of those is 22% obease) it puts canadians that go to the doctor at 75% overweight and 36% obease for men and 65% overweight for women with 29% obease.  The american statistic is an estimate.  This study shows that the rest of the world is catching up. 

On a side note, the rest of the world laughed their cute little asses off at us when we were fat, but I'm wondering if they're still laughing as they scarf down that big mac.

I'd also like to point out that there is an intrinsic flaw in this study because they used BMI which is a terrible way to measure overweightness and obesity.  With the current BMI system, I have several friends that do tri-athalons that would be considered at least overweight despite having 8% body fat or so.  Muscle mass hurts as much as fat for a BMI index.  Maybe Canadians aren't 'fatter' just 'bigger'

(but they could still be fat, hahahahahaha)

TBH those numbers would be so inaccurate it would make accountants cringe. Estimation of population thats obese/overweight vs. estimation of people overweight/obsese that "have" seen a doctor. Given that doctors dont weight people unless for specific reasons. that would be of a pool of 1000 people......

I'm weighed every single time i go to the doctors.

[alka]

Same here.. everytime I go to the doctor I get weighed, blood pressure, etc..

And every fn time it's, "you need to lose a little weight and quit smoking"

Then, I go to another doctor for a 2nd opinion and I hear the same thing.. over and over, one doctor after another.

When I eventually find a doctor who loves me for who I am on the inside.. I will stick with 'em.

only time ive been weighed was when i was a baby, and blood pressure taken when i broke my collar bone. Majority of the time, not weighed and no blood pressure taken. Ive seen 3 different doctors in my life as well. all the same when i go see them etc.

Well now, that kind of explains why you have free medical in Canada, doesn't seem like they really do much of anything, huh?!

Wonder if your mechanics run on the same premise?  If it starts and runs after 5 years of use, let it go, no need to check the oil, trans fluid, or coolant levels, EVER??  That squeaking and rattling noise isn't anything to worry about....   See my point?


Thank you.

[ksoul]

that is true our hospitals fucking suck.

I sat in the waiting room the other night when I needed stiches on my elbow for 7 hours, (no lie) only for them to tell me that I didnt need stiches because they said I waited to long and they were afraid infection might set in (go figure). then they told me I needed to wait another hour for the x-ray tech to come in becuase they thought there may be broken bone fragments. So of course at that point I decided to drop as many F bombs as possible in one sentance screaming in the hospital while a fat ass donut eating security guard tried to throw me on the ground... tossed him a side hopped in my jeep, fuck paying for parking...drove over the curb over the hill across the side walk down the ditch and onto the road...what a night!!!

You're talking maintenance vs. visiting a doctor. I dont go for yearly check ups or physicals, i goto a doctor when i know something is wrong, aside from that, eating well, exercise etc is more then enough, same with my truck, take care of it and maintain it yourself, you really dont need a mechanic unless soemething is seriously wrong.

Maintenance is maintenance, the only difference is who is doing the maintaining and on what... 

I could have suggested the way one maintains a computer vs yearly checkups, but you would have bitched about that too.

The analogy I used, “Which is what one uses to describe things, ya know!”  was sound and accurate, and proves the point even further of your lack of understanding, or fetish for bitching.

It's one thing to listen for engine problems.  It's another to listen or feel yourself developing cancer/disease.  Most people end up developing diabetes because they don't get checkups and faint/convulse one day.  Then they go to the doctor only to have the doctor tell them that they've developed diabetes.  As you get older, it's crucial to get checked out, especially after 30.  The preliminary stages of any cancer or disease will probably start around this time.  I knew of a 34 yr old woman who never knew she had cervical cancer until she start feeling dizzy.  By that time, the cancer had already spread to most of her lower part of the body.  She died a couple of months later.  My co-worker has a fiance who's daughter is 13.  Very healthy looking girl, but she was complaining about head-aches just recently.  The fiance and the ex-wife lived in different states, and she gets pretty belligerent when it comes to who should make decisions for the children.  The fiance is a RN who now works on the non-ancillary side of healthcare, so he knows what he's talking about.  He told his ex-wife to take their daughter to get an MRI.  She told him she didn't need a MRI and that she can take care of her daughter just fine.  Now....from an outsider point of view, one would ponder why a 13 year old would need a MRI.  Well.......3 days later, the daughter had a stroke.  The doctors didn't know what was wrong with her and incorrectly treated her almost killing her.  The brain sustained a significant amount of brain damage, and she was finally diagnosed with moya moya disease.  Google it if you want more info.  Basically, she was not receiving enough oxygen to the brain causing her headaches, and finally causing her to have a stroke.  My grandmother went to the hospital in a classier part of the greater Memphis metro area, Methodist Germantown.  She was feeling extremely fatigued and felt ill from time to time.  She had no insurance, but we owned restaurants in town, so paying was not a problem.  Well, the doctor diagnosed her with the flu, and sent her home with antibiotics for it.  My grandmother decided that after 5 months of having the flu, she was going to get a second opinion from a Taiwanese doctor.  The doctor in Taiwan discovered that she had kidney cancer in it's final stages.  She died shortly after that.  Seeing that the patient had no insurance, the doctor who treated her didn't give a shit whether she got well or not.

yes i see your point dirt, but you're talking about what you consider maintenance. you take things in to get maintained/checked, myself, if its something i can fix myself, i will. ie: if i get sick, ill rest/take cough syrup , if im not better in a few days then ill go to a doctor. the only my doctor takes my weight/blood pressure is usually if its something that i dont know is going on, or im going for a physical, which i dont normally do.  maybe im stupid for not doing things your guys way, but its how i work, if i can fix it, ill fix it, if i cant then i goto the doctor/mechanic to get what needs to be fixed
