vicshere Speaking as an American I agree with you. When in a battle we Americans want the Canadians and the British with us. They may not agree with us some/much of the time but they will not run and abandon you in a fight.

The politicians have abandoned the Canadian military.

Experience with Canadians My limnited experience with Canadians was in sports competion. I found them to be sore losers and cheaters. What is a victory if it's not honest? All my medals and trophies were won honestly. 1 world champ, 3 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze. When I look at myself when I shave in the morning, I'm proud what I see.

Canadians have a friendly reputation. But Colombians are friendlier than Canadians, and so are quite a few other countries.

I've worked with many Canadians. They have a great time, drive fast, recklessly and say or do almost anything. I prefer to associate with Canadians vrs. "those below" Canada.

Unfortunately there is a WEST Canada and an EAST Canada. I've never met an EAST Canadian. The WEST Canadians say I'm lucky because the EAST Canadians are a bunch of Perrier drinking, TOFU eaters and they'd like to see the country split.

I'd hate to be soft,, when it comes to TOFU, Makes me want a Hummer.

Hey Poco.... I was just near Canada and actually considered slipping over that way. I went to the Vancouver home page and when I saw that one of their main points of interest was being a gay and lesbian friendly atmosphere, I lost interest! Why?...Not because I am opposed to gays or lesbians but, because I am opposed to anyone who is willing to cater to one more than another. They never once mentioned a "traditional" family atmosphere. West Canada(the Vancouver area, anyway), as far as I am concerned, is just the further north part of Washington. It's a bunch of tree-hugging liberals with no sense of direction; a modern -age hippy, if you will. Tough?...I don't see it. Aggresive?...Not that either! If the east Canadians are candy-asses(perrier drinking, TOFU eaters) then, I am speechless as to what the hell west Canadians are considered!

Fierce fighters? Sorry. Maybe I am wrong but, I don't see it in modern times. As far as "vrs(BTW is vs.) those below", you should really consider Bellingham, Wa. There is the same rhetoric there that you will find in the VC area...You know, old women standing on the corner with huge signs saying, "impeach now, enough is enough." I saw this stupid shit first hand and my only real thought was, "What a bunch of dumbasses!" It was too damn cold to be protesting anything, especially if you're in your 60s!

Keep in mind, I am no fan of Bush but you won't catch me bitchin too loud about him and you DAMN sure won't see me standing on the corner like those in northwest! Yep, from the little, lack of exposure to W. Canada, I saw all that I needed to see! Let me tell you, I was certainly intimidated by them! LOL

You should know why The western part has oil / coal. Eastern Canada is where they "manage" these assets.

Beavers in Eastern Canada are largely ignored. They still chase Beaver in Western Canada.



Vancouver Island was good 20 years ago. Now ? The City of Vancouver wasn't a trip anyone I knew talked about. I worked in a poverty stricken area of Washington State called Anacortes. A ferry ran from there to the San Juan Islands (60 miles South of Vancouver). I doubt it is still poverty stricken, except for the "original" inhabitants. They were probably forced to flee to Bellingham. Damn displacement is just horrible isn't it.

I know one person who purchased a retirement home on one of the islands. Maybe he is tired of chasing Beaver or they run too fast? Maybe he'd consider a vacation in Colombia where the Beavers chase you?

He probably should consider a ... retirement home in Colombia! LOL I just wasn't very impressed with w Washington(northwest). There was some beautiful scenery...when you could see it through the rain and drizzle but that was about it(for me). I certainly couldn't see retiring up there but some people are into those cool, wet climates.

Everyone is entitled to do as they please even if it means wanting hang out in W Canada. ? HAHA I was joking.

ok, i think i should point out that dividing 'east' canadians and 'west' canadians is simply hilarious. I don't think you can make such a division, at least not a sensical one where any degree of generalization can be made.

It's as easy as east coast and west coast in the US... There are obvious differences in the people that live in those two areas. It is just the same in the midwest...And the South? Oh boy! When I moved to south Louisiana...What a shock! LOL! They sure know how to have a good party down here though!

I saw a shirt here once that read, "Baton Rouge...A drinking town with a football problem." LOL There is a lot of truth in that slogan. Football is as big as religion here and the other thing they do is drink.

Not much rain The upper northern coast of Washington State is unusual.

Take a one hour drive directly north of Seattle towards Canada and turn off at the Mount Vernon exit. Without fail rain would STOP. I could count on it. Something about the mountains. Plus it rarely if ever snowed and in two years the job was shutdown ONE day because of ice.

Damp it was. Moss would grow on your roof if it was shaded. I thought the area deserved a top spot on places to retire but 20 + years ago. That was before Silicon Valley or Microsoft. The world had just glimpsed the IBM XT with PC-DOS and the Microsoft MS-DOS Version.

This was the first machine I used.. Think I waited until 1981 to see if computers would be useful. Darned if they weren't, 40 character screen but it "scrolled" and disk drives were DOUBLE DENSITY !!!! 182K !!! and you could get TWO OF THEM (optional). An 300 BAUD (optional) modem. Who would believe such raw power was available to the public.

The system wasn't that bad except for the 40 character screen. Who needs more than 40 characters on a line anyway?

No Problem dividing 'east' canadians and 'west' canadians is simply hilarious. I don't think you can make such a division, at least not a sensical one where any degree of generalization can be made.

The split could easily be made on existing territory divisions. During negotiations the Northwest territories could become a native managed polar bear refuge.



As a bonus Western Canada could declare all divorced men to be exempt from extradition.

Hydrocarbons!! That is hilarious!... Pretty accurate statement though. That's why I was there. I stayed for two days in Mt. Vernon when I first got there but was too far of a drive for work. It was raining there too. The week before we arrived, they got a lot of snow. Our safety director lives there and said that it had been very unusual weather for them though. He said that the snow they got in two days was more than the last 4 years collectively!

I'm sure that 20 years ago it was a beautiful place when it was all farmland. I was told that the place has really boomed in the last 10 years or so. The farms are turning into shopping malls and subdivisions. Very sad.

The possibility of global warming exists The week before we arrived, they got a lot of snow. Our safety director lives there and said that it had been very unusual weather for them though.

Either that or Al Gore has been using private jets dumping the equalivent amount of CO2 as 1357 Hummers sitting in traffic with the air conditioning running.

I wish Colombia had more Hummers. I think plants love CO2 ? Maybe not, although on second thought it seems a little C02 would be better than Dursban. Has anyone died from eating CO2 ?

I look at 'east' vs, 'west' divisions for canadians in the same light that I look at 'east' vs 'west' colombians, or 'north' vs. south' colombians. It just isn't a very apt way to classify/divide them. Potentially better put:

Urban vs. rural canadians,
French Canadians vs. English canadians.
Maritimes vs prairies vs. cowboy albertans vs pacific vs central
everything else vs. aboriginal...

but i just don't see any congruencies with 'east' vs 'west', or at least very very very minimal ones at best.

Canada is a nation of queers and commies. Any other country could take the place over in a week but nobody really wants it.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.
