    As a very patriotic Canadian let me say this, I don't give a sweet (*)(*)(*)(*) if they don't know our capitol it doesn't really matter. If they want to be uninformed let them it doesn't affect us in the slightest...

    This month, after the election, Harpar made a speech where he said that everyone in Canada had to come together, even the people who didn't vote for him.

    It's the same stuff you'd hear in the USA, pleadings for concilliation.

    What does being so hatefull of Americans have anything about being canadian- sorry about my spelling: I'm a product of the old "bob Ray" coriculum. ask yr mommy and daddy who that ontario NDP premier was. he promoted everyone to go on welfare as soon as you turn 16 and move out of your parents home- no american would know that little piece of info so there you go. you must think that Pure Idiot Trudeau was the best prime minister of canada ever, eh?

    Remember John Candy in Canadian Bacon?

    Boomer: The capital Toronto.
    RCMP Officer at Headquarters: No, the capital of Canada is Ottawa.
    Boomer: Yeah, right. Do we look that stupid? Ottawa!
    Roy Boy: Nice try, Dudley. ​

    And Candy was born in Canada.

    We have the same in the USA....have a baby and get your own welfare case and social workers find you an apartment and all the benefits to keep you alive and well. Not great digs, but something somewhere.

    he's got the majority. he dont gotta play nice anymore. he is offering a hand anyway. no i dont like it because i'd spit on the hand of the former Marxist Leninist party of Canada member, E. Jack U. Layton. i'd tell jack to go (*)(*)(*)(*) himself but harper is gonna be nice to him even though he doesn't need his support

    I guess I'm on the other end of things.

    In most respects, it seems like Canada does a better job of handling things than us. Granted, I'm going by statistics and the experiences of others. I don't have any personal experience with Canada, so I suppose that might help in getting an accurate view.

    Anyway, maybe we can trade places someday. ;)

    I notice all these types of criticisms are always directed towards Americans. I wonder how many Russians know what the capital of Canada is?

    Hey... it's public education that was created to grow public sector unions and Democratic Party money and influence. Of course the education system is crap.

    But, since it is a Democratic Party power base it seems all the lockstep liberals will never look to truly change it significantly for the betterment of the actual children, teachers, or parents.

    remember how harper warned if NDP won that the gas prices would skyrocket?

    well after a harper victory gas prices have skyrocketed

    btw i think the long gun registry is stupid too

    but that isn't enough to vote for the cons

    after 4 yrs of conservatives you can bet they won't govern for another 10-15 years..like what happened after the disastourous mulrooney government

    whats the difference? they are both total non issues. admit it: the only reason why we, canadians know so much about the u.s.- can name every state, a handfull of their presidenst, and so on, is the U.S.A is the best country in the world. why? They believe in independents which creats strength for the people to not get held back by government- although lately, their government has been growing which is why they are struggling hard lately.
