Fiannan Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 - Very little is known of the Canadian country since it is rarely visited by anyone but the Queen and illiterate sport fishermen. P. J. O'Rourke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, there was some commentary during America's last presidential election, that some of our liberal Democrats were considering moving to Canada if Bush won. In fact, I believe there was a short-lived spike in inquiries about immigration, following the election.For conservative "Red Staters," then, Canada is something akin to France-nice. The French are proud of the fervent secularism, bedrock anti-Americanism, and their relatively socialistic economic system. Canada leans the same direction, but is tamer and more polite about it.Personally, I've only seen Vancouver BC and Niagra Falls, but was always impressed with the natural beauty, and the general politeness that seems to pervade the society. On the other hand, my politics lean a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sugarbay Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Call me a Pollyanna but I think it is really disheartening that peoples of different countries, all of Father's children, can't think of anything else to do but insult each other. Certainly not the way Enoch's city of Zion was established, an aspiration to which we should be striving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
