As much as I don't like some Canadians, I do respect their government. The more Canadians I meet, the more I like them. I just hate the ones that steal money from me :)

Boogie 2005-06-23 07:11 AM

Canada is like... one big Wisconson or something. White bread anyone? :D

mrMagoo 2005-06-23 07:48 AM

I would like to see our media say something like
"The adult industry contends the changes are part of a larger campaign by the religious right and the Bush administration to wipe out the porn business through regulations after failed attempts using obscenity law."

White bread? Maybe in rural areas but our cities are as diverse as any in the US. The biggest Pride parade in North America will take place in Toronto this weekend. Over 1,000,000 people will come to watch it. The cultural and ethinic diversity here is simply awesome which leads to some the hottest woman on the planet, I might add!

P.S. Politcally it is like living in the state of Vermont or the city of Berkley which has its pros and cons I'll tell ya!

Paul Kent-Snowsell represents Sweet Entertainment Group. While I am not a fan of their product, I admire their willingness to fight for all Canadian's legal rights. Their recent success fighting obscenity charges benefitted every one of us up here |thumb

I have been there a few times and loved it. Its like going to another state but lots of people speach french with out the shitty french tude. I have sat on top of 10k high mountains in the middle of December for two weeks durring snow storms but I have never in my life felt bone chilling cold the way you guys have it there. Well lets all hope for the best. I'm off to the bank to grab all the papers and money to hit the road if needed lol.

Robbo 2005-06-23 01:34 PM

I`ve lived close enough to Ontario to throw rocks at it so long I feel just as home on the other side of the bridge. And looking from the US side we look WAY more whitebread than they do!

Actually they're pretty good at it, just don't always run around doing it because the US does.

I am Canadian and passing through and seeing that post...If someone has taken money from ya, try not to put a stamp on everyone (including from your own country)...

I suppose I should be glad though I wouldn't steal any $ from ya....otherwise I probably wouldn't be in this board....lol |thumb

Their healthcare is not "free". Canadians just pay for their healthcare through their taxes indirectly instead of directly though their checkbooks. Saying Canada has free healthcare is like saying the US has free roads but then not noticing how much gasoline tax you pay at the pump to pay for the roads.

That being said, if Canada had Mexico's weather I would be moving in a fuckin' heartbeat.

They actually have more strict laws against CP than the US, but without the nonsense of 2257. They seem to get along without shooting each other, they don't send you to prison for having the smell of pot on your breath, and they haven't let the Jesus Christ Fan Club take over their government. If only they could turn up the heat......

I have to agree with you here. I did some work about 3 years back with JTF2 and they are some top notch soldiers. Canadas history of combat is well founded in just about every conflict the US has had. Im glad you guys are our neighbors.

That's right.....no way in hell our health care is free, you should see how much the gov't takes off our pay checks. |satan|

Taxes are porportional to income, and are everywhere; they are higher in many places.
I feel very fortunate to live in a country where everyone is entitled to the same level of a basic human right, and where one's income does not dictate whether or not they live or die.
We have a wonderful social safety net to catch the unfortunate. Yes, it gets abused sometimes, but blame the abusers, not the system itself. I'm glad that it's there, regardless.
Peace of mind is priceless.
