Maybe if the US didn't keep pressuring us to adopt their kind of drug laws, or violate NAFTA rulings we'd get along better.
Would missile defense even work, or is it just an unfeasible pipe dream to waste money and protect you from an imaginary enemy.
We don't want to have to waste our money on your goofy weird missile defense projects.
The US government is the bigger problem here, imho.
Would you agree that when you decide to start a trade program, that when there's a dispute and a panel of judges in that program make a ruling, you should follow that ruling, even if its not in your favor? Well, the US doesn't think so. I'm sure if the ruling was in their favor, they'd say that it was fairly decided. Of course, the ruling wasn't in their favor, so they ignored it. How fucking arrogant is that?

God forbid someone be in favor of same sex marriage! If that happens the entire world would collapse! Everyone would turn gay and there would be no more babies!
There are some liberals who aren't in favor of same sex marriage, but for the most part they are.
But in Canada, it's not as big a deal in the US, because we've actually done quite a good job of separating the church and state. According to our charter of rights and freedoms, you can't discriminate against gays, but Americans like to legislate the sex lives of other people. That's why they've still got laws against sodomy in some states. Canada is more of a free country.

In my opinion, Stephen Harper is a goon. I will not be voting for him. I especially dont agree with his Health Care plan.

IMO, Canada is doing the right thing by not accepting a missile-defense system. Not only does it seem foolish to me to waste billions (or even trillions) or dollars on a system that may work. Not only that, but who wants to nuke Canada anyways?

?There will be no private, parallel system,? Mr. Harper said. ?We can, and will, achieve better results for patients and maintain the essentials of our system of public health insurance while maintaining our universal public health care system.?

so does everyone have the same Health care now? (Universal heath care) or do the elitist/liberals like Paul Martin have private doctors?
who are you going to vote for? (greens) i had forgotten about them.

I'm not a big fan of the Green Party in Canada.
They're kind of a libertarian thing up here, so they're all about cutting a lot of social programs and stuff.
I'm not in Toronto on the 6th, but I wouldn't mind hearing him speak, out of interest.

There is still universal health care.
Just out of curiosity, what prompts you to call Paul Martin an elitist?

for example a lot of the liberals who want gun control in America have body guards with guns. i consider that an elitist.
Paul Martin is Pro Universal Health Care, but i read somewhere that he goes to a private doctor in a private clinic.

I thought they were pretty close to the NDP in their policies, other than a major tax one?

Ummm, not usually they don't man...
It's not like that here, really I swear. You're used to seeing your presidents and senators with the secret service all around them and stuff, but it's really not like that here...
I can drive to Ottawa right now and sit on the steps of the Parliament building and wait for martin to get off work if I want to.
Last time I was there, there was a cop at the door, who I talked to for awhile about my drive down, and how boring his job was and stuff
We chatted for a bit, he even offered to take my girlfriend in so that she could use the bathroom, but we just went down the street instead...
Things here really are different then where you live...
And if Martin is getting health care and paying for it, then he is doing it in the states, or doing it under the table, because it is not legal here to pay for special care or anything...

a better example of the canadian liberals losing it is their campaign to tighten cannibus laws as a result of that whackjob ambushing those RCMP guys when they came to check on his truck debt....just because he also happened to have a grow op.
one shady credit company sends the cops out to clean up their mess and the entire canadian cannabis culture is supposed to go down the drain.
