It's great to be proud of your heritage and Canada has always stood by us (since 1812 anyway). But tell me about your somewhat restrictive gun laws? Seriously, what can you buy? Pistols, semi rifles, mag capacity. I've been meaning to ask what the laws in Canada actually are.

The war of 1812 was a response to the the goddamn British boarding our ships and impressing (basically kidnapping into their service) our mariners. They couldn't find anyone from Great Britain willing to man their ships. No one in their right mind would voluntarily serve on one of His Majesty's Ships due to the brutal discipline and low pay.
So yeah, we started it to assert our sovereignty to the British-SOMETHING CANADA HAS NEVER DONE IN ITS HISTORY!!!! It was the British who invaded sovereign United States and burned the White House, not the Canadians (Canada didn't even exist until the Brits let it exist). Don't make me laugh. |

Quoted: So, what do Canadians have to be proud of? 1. Smarties 2. Crispy Crunch & Coffee Crisp 3. The size of our footballs fields and one less down 4. Baseball is Canadian 5. Lacrosse is Canadian 6. Hockey is Canadian 7. Basketball is Canadian 8. Apple pie is Canadian 9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass 10. Tim Hortons kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass 11. In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it... and most of Washington, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was insane and hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away, so we came home and partied ... Go figure... 12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany. 13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. 14. Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour. 15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing...but showed up just in time to get caught. 16. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on. 17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company 18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes. 19. We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo. 20. We don't marry our kin-folk. 21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save countless lives each year 22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it. 23. MOST IMPORTANT! ....the handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on. OOOOoohhhhh Canada!! Oh yeah... and our elections only take one day. Although many are questionable, it's nice that you were able to fit them all on a list of 23. I don't think I could do the same for the U.S. Happy shooting. . . wait, can you still do that over there? |

Canada RULES {only} because:
{1}DirecTV does not have the legal right to broadcast their signal to Canada. and {2}Yet their signal blankets most of North America which includes Canada. therefore {3}Canadians have been very helpful to North Americans who want to learn how to decrypt that signal. {Not that I do this, of course . . . .} |

Man Stormbringer..you did better then me. I posted this quite a while ago and got flamed to a crispy critter.
seb127..yes we can own handguns,AR's,sks's,etc. Our mag capacity sucks though. 10 round handgun,5 round rifle. After hang'n here for the better part of 21/2 years..I've come to the conclusion that although across the board our gun laws are worse then yours, some states (Calif)are twice as bad as us. Some sections of bill C-68 are being rewritten for the better as we speak. Our minister of justice has her hand out asking for more money to keep the firearms center going. I can't believe that Canadians for the most part won't take their rose colored glasses off and realize that the millions of dollars being wasted on the Canadian Firearms Center would have been better spent in health care,education,tax cuts,etc,etc. I guess we haven't been pushed far enough yet. |

Quoted: 17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company I thought Beretta was the world's oldest company, or the East India Tea company perhaps? I doubt the Hudson's Bay Co is older than the mid 1600's. |

The best aspect of Canada is when I check out of the ski resort, Gray Rocks, Quebec each year they hand me a bill for $6,000.00 and I hand them $3,000.00 and there is always snow in Quebec. I like the French they keep the Labats Blue flowing. Got to run it's hunting season here in New York, I think I will take a hand gun, my AR-15 and shoot some deer.

I doubt the Hudson's Bay Co is older than the mid 1600's. The Hudson's Bay Company, one of the oldest, still active companies in the world, was almost 200 years old when Canada was created in 1867. Since its inception in 1670, the Company controlled fully one-third of present-day Canadian territory. That area, designated Rupert's Land, encompassed most of Northern Ontario and Northern Québec, all of Manitoba, most of Saskatchewan, the southern half of Alberta and a large part of the Northwest Territories. Damn I love the internet.[:)] |

So the statement in the list is incorrect, should be changed to say 'one of the oldest' [:D] Beretta has been around since the 1500's, and the East India Company was created in 1600. |

Canada invented Rush, which promptly ran away from home.
Canada invented John Garand, who also ran away from home. Canada still has world class hunting and fishing. We sort of sit around in California's rural barber-shops reading about the fishing and hunting to be done in Canada. I would consider it the trip of a lifetime. My criteria for boasting is: Individual Canadians aren't qualified to boast unless they can actually build an igloo, without someone kibitzing. Send more beer and smoked salmon. |

But... Subtract Bill C-42, the text of which is available at [URL]http://www.parl.gc.ca/37/1/parlbus/chambus/house/bills/government/C-42/C-42_1/C-42TOCE.html[/URL] Scroll down to section 5 - 'the explosives act' - even if you don't have explosives. Some highlights: -Inspectors may freely rampage through your home, business, automobile etc on suspicion that there might be so much as a single 'inexplosive ammunition component'. For those unfamiliar with newspeak, that means any bullet, cartridge casing or hull whether centerfire or rimfire, whether unfired or spent, or anything else that might possibly be discharged from the barrel of any firearm including a muzzleloading cannon. Loosely translated, that means the government has practically abolished the need for search warrants, especially for firearm owners. -Ordering brass, bullets and the like from the US? Not without government permission, comrade. Half million dollar fine, five years in prison. -Getting brass, bullets and the like from your buddy who got them from across the line or from the foreign factory which is the world's only remaining source for 7.65x55mm Bolshevik Express brass? Not unless your buddy got government permission, comrade. Same penalty. -Using your existing brass and casting your own bullets? Not unless you have government permission, comrade. Same penalty. And so on. Did I mention that each day you make or possess 'illicitly trafficked inexplosive ammunition components' (ordinary reloading components that have not been blessed by the powers that be) it's to be a separate indictable criminal offence? Read C-42 - it's in the same spirit as C-68 and perhaps even more dangerous. And order your bulk components today. |

Our Smarties are closer to Sweet Tarts, Canada is pretty cool and laid back, reminds me of America in the early 60's. The things I hate are the draconian gun laws and the high taxes.
Plus it took you over 300 years to shed British rule. |
