    Lol an aloof person doesn't respond to the same post twice.


    If someone asked me to name the capital of Canada I'd say "why?" With genuine disinterest.

    i'm sure youd say the same thing if someone asked you who your largest trading partner and foreign oil supplier was too.

    Just more evidence of the failed public school system in the United States.

    No wonder we have so many Obama voters out of work and on welfare.

    Q) What do Hamilton and Toronto Ontario have in common?
    A) Both would like a professional hockey team.

    Why are Canadians only concerned about Americans? Does the average Japanese know the capital know this? How about Australians? Does the average person think knowing the capital of Canada is a strong indicator of intelligence? How about does the average person outside Canada actually care where its capital is? That would be an interesting survey.

    Odd, we have unionized public schools and a Dept. of Education. Perhaps, the progressive establishment has failed?

    Sure, and where is he living now?? Did he move to Canada? That's right he poked the wrong fish, , didn't he???

    But you are pretty smart so just keep poking at us from way down there in the safety of your basement.

    Most of you girls are interesting and we welcome you to Texas but you might better go to California if you ever get a chance to come to the top of the world.

    Well there is an obvious difference. The U.S. and Canada, while each independent nations, are joined at the hip. Both have a (mostly) common language, and similar histories and cultures. As I pointed out earlier in the thread, the unparalleled prosperity and tranquility of each country is the result of the deep peace between the countries and their peoples.

    Ask Israel how a variance in that situation feels.

    Dear Canada...

    On the subject of education, you did not exist in 1812. Thanks...
