I hope all the Canadian IM'ers take a second out of their day to remember all the great men and women that served our country so well in the past.

Vimy Ridge
Quote:
At the battle of Vimy Ridge, the Canadian Corps had the autonomy to strategize, plan and fight together under Canadian command. Its mission -- to topple the Germans from a key defensive position -- had been tried and failed in previous attempts by the British and by the French. At Vimy Ridge, Canadians had a chance to show the world what they were made of.
Lest we forget.

You have your priorities; we have ours.

I do find your post kinda disrespectful and in bad taste, it is 'Remembrance Day' in Canada and it is a day to remember the 117 000 Canadians killed in war.

Your lucky you don't have oil, if you did that number could climb. C'mon, I had to.

I do, pay my respects to anyone who died in war or what have you.


If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Think of it as your Veteran's Day. We honour (yes with an "our") our troops who fought in all the major conflicts and gave their lives. Like my grandfather. He was a medic in WW2.


Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

Canadians have a very distinguished record of serving both as peacekeepers and in military conflicts. They entered World War II some 27 months before Pearl Harbor generated enough reason for the U.S. to come into WWII - I believe the same was the case in WWI.

They have put both their nation and resources on the line many times for freedom, including assisting the United States in establishing early warning bomber and missile defense radar by allowing them use of Canadian territory for installations.

As Americans honor some of their own veterans, it's a neighborly gesture to salute the contributions of our closest North American friend.

Now if you Canucks would only buy some Caribbean island and annex it. . . you need a warm weather province.

Funny you mention that. There is actually talks of Canada Purchasing Turks & Cacos in the Caribbean


Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Just to bust your ass. Canada has the second largest Oil Reserves in the world to Saudi Arabia

Yes, you used to be. Now however your favorite topic is all things American and 99% of the time its to bitch about us. If anything this last election was an American statement on how we dont much give a damn what anyone else in the world thinks. We have a right to protect ourselves and we will do so, and it aint gonna be up to a UN vote neither.

Canada is currently militarily irrelevant anyway. Sure it would be nice to have you on board but we dont really need a few old rusty Canadian Navy frigates bounceing around looking for Taliban or Iraqi submarines.

Im glad you have a day set aside to honor the days when you actually had fighting men worthy of the name. Your right! In those days Canadian bravery,resolve,and quality were second to none. And Canada paid dearly for her freedom with the lives of her son's.

Now however.......you aint worth a shit!........... .......................Rich

That is real smart, go onto an American message board and say you have a ton of oil. Why don't you just go to the bronx, stand out in the middle of the street, and say you have one million dollars cash in your pocket. Be sure to tell them it is American, I don't know if it would work with Canadian money.


Rich, I have ben to Canada prolly a hundred times and they could give a fuck what we do, just so long as we go over there and spend our money they couldn't care less about us.

Being the inquisitive person I am, I went ahead and did a search for the Canadian Mint and came upon a picture. What I found may shock you...



Just as I suspected, Menthos. I thought those commercials were, gay, I never knew they were Canadian. Well, toemato to-mato, I guess.
