so you would want to stick with america then?

[Gonzo]

Sweeden all the way. Do I have to say why.

[Rev_Blair]

Sweden or New Zealand.

[electricbuford]

New Zealand,because then I wouldn't be trying so hard to move to Canada! Kiwi-land is quite possibly the most beautiful country in the world.Really,it would be the best of both worlds.Oh well,maybe in another dimension someday.

[xerxes]

for me, England. Why? Good soccer and great beer.

New Zealand also has a quite progressive government. They get compared to Canada (and vice versa) quite a bit. Some say it's because their relationship to Australia is much like our relation with the US.

There's a country north of the US? When did that happen?

Thank you! A little humor never hurts now and again

Maybe Scotland would be good...their system of proportional representation might put some pressure on Martin to go to a similar system.

I just recently stumbled on this site and thought it would be interesting. Sad to say I'm very disappointed. You see I am a very proud Canadian who happens to be a serving member of our armed forces who had the pleasure of serving in Afghanistan alongside the American 101st Airborne and 10th Mountain divisions in the war on terror.What bothers me the most about what passes on this site for Canadian pride is in fact anti-americanism.
It seems that most of the thoughts on this site are simply asinine. Apparently the people on this site think that the Iraqi people were better off with Saddam Insane in charge. I say grow up and quit acting like a spoiled brat who is jealous of their bigger brother. Sure the Americans aren't perfect and have done some things that we don't like, but name me one country that hasn't!
That being said I fully expect the childish name calling about me kissing the US's ass. As for Rev Blair you strike me as one who stands for free speech but only if we say what you wish to hear! You also seem to like to belittle anyone you disagree with. You strike me as a very shallow individual who loves to hide in the shadows terrified that someday someone that you have hammered on this site might actually confront you face to face!
Remember if you treat someone like crap all the time it will come back to haunt you. Ask our loggers and cattle farmers how their doing, and keep in mind our governments actions towards our southern neighbours.
Anyways have a nice day and remember "If you can speak thank a teacher, if you can speak freely without looking over your shoulder thank a veteran!"

[Rev_Blair]

I do have our farmers and loggers in mind, 2Cdo. I talk to farmers (wheat, cattle, and hog) all of the time. They are fed up with the proctectionist and dishonest practices of the Bush administration and are calling for us to use our energy as a way of forcing the Bush administration to follow the agreements and listen to the science.

It would also serve you well to remember that nobody here backs Saddam. Saying so is completely dishonest. We also realise that what George Bush has done to Iraq was and is illegal and has not improved the situation of the Iraqi people. In fact we were saying this before the illegal invasion.

Just like we said there were WMD, just like we said that there was no connection between Saddam and 9-11 or al Qaeda.

I'm not afraid at all and your attempt to suggest that I am shows that you have a very thin grasp of the situation around here. If, as I suspect, this is yet another attempt to intimidate me then it just goes to prove my point about the inability of the right to reason. Instead they prefer intimidation and violence.

By the way, you never answered the question. What country would you prefer to Canada's south besides the USA?
