One last thing, I don't want to hear any more crap about a couple of inbred mutant "royals" visiting Canadakastan, do you? Sure, come here have a vacation be like everybody else, they aren't important, they haven't done anything to make them important. This famous for the sake of being famous is getting old and tired fast.
Laurentian University Prof. Gary Kinsman, a sociologist and historian who has written extensively on RCMP surveillance, says "anti-capitalist perspectives, anarchist perspectives, socialist perspectives, almost get criminalized."
"This is part of a long history of Canadian security police [involved in] major forms of surveillance including infiltration of various different social movements, including the union movement, the gay movement at times, " Kinsman says.

Canada will always be a unique fascinating nation, we were one day from migrating to the Rockies, but it didn't happen ,so I have always looked on Canada as a place I may have lived in another parallel life.
They say it has the most oil reserves in the world?
I think its natural they may be under the thumb of the USA ,but there are worse nations to have looking over your shoulder.
Hey Neil Young was born there, and he "rocks the free world".

Any regular Canadian, like myself, knows that the majority of people are peaceful and just want their peace and quiet, it's the LEADERS who make the decisions. So when you say Canada isn't friendly I kind of take that as an offence, it's the puppet leaders, not the country or it's civilians.

Did canadians really vote them in? I would venture a guess that canadians are also being duped to believe this is so, like americans. Maybe canada is really different, and isn't sucked into the same voting machines. I have no idea, I haven't voted here yet.

I agree that we are for the most part very peaceful people.. but WE voted these leaders in did we not? So regardless, and I hate to say it cause I know where you are coming from (I love Canada too!), the reputation that you and I know we deserve is being tarnished and by OUR representatives, who WE, the Canadian citizens, voted to be in power. we allow them to continue the war in Libya, we allow Harper and parliament to take orders from the U.N. without consulting us. And honestly, it's not a partisan issue for me, I think if the NDP got in or by some miracle Ignatieff and the libs got in, we'd be doing the same exact thing.

A Colony Your right actually. But I think the US should annex Canada and make it into states. Imagine how powerful a Nation the combination would be. All those untapped resources, jobs created etc... Alberta already applied once and so did Nova Scotia... they did that the last time those silly Frenchmen started a fuss.
Give Quebec to France except the 80% of the land owned by Natives... they can come over. But the Lower Quebec... let the French have em
Yeah I am biased so sue me... they made me learn French and then insulted me when I dared speak it in Montreal, even though I do speak it well as a third language
But seriously a US/Canadian merger would really boost the failing economy of both countries

Naww, just give them Saskatchewan, that way it would like like a fist and a finger, you know "the finger" LOL.
If the second amendment was included in the deal on said annexing, I might agree with that since I CC'd for 4 years in South Africa and and at times I prefer the idea of frontier justice, mainly for politicians, bankers and lawyers (since their crimes against humanity are so apparent), everyone else deserves a fair trial.
Cheers
