Just like the US has the Left Coast and NE Urbania verus "flyover country" (only our flyovers are more heavily populated).Geodkythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328915597574377444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475829827879308509.post-21169329834748372932010-01-22T10:50:02.534-05:002010-01-22T10:50:02.534-05:00KurtP: Your comment about draft dodgers is such a...KurtP: Your comment about draft dodgers is such a load of crap. Show some sort of evidence, be it statistical or anecdotal.<br /><br />In my 18 years in Ontario, I met more Canadians that served in Viet-Nam in the US Army or Marines than I did draft dodgers. In fact, I never met a draft dodger or deserter. I worked with several ex-pats that came to Canada after their service and honorable discharge.<br /><br />Canada accepted draft-dodgers because they had no draft. As a percentage of Canadian citizens they are minimal, not "a good percentage," and their influence is microscopic.<br />BRBbrbiswritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238551308132973791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475829827879308509.post-393635022141919742010-01-22T09:41:35.943-05:002010-01-22T09:41:35.943-05:00Something to remember (heh) aboot Canadians is tha...Something to remember (heh) aboot Canadians is that a good percentage of them are either '60s draft dodgers or their offspring.<br />These proto-Libs have pretty much infused themselves in all layers of Canadian society.KurtPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12205267944616413162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475829827879308509.post-67447916118608278642010-01-21T17:12:08.006-05:002010-01-21T17:12:08.006-05:00Very, very well said.Very, very well said.Carteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468700184940877315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475829827879308509.post-68530212987937733692010-01-21T15:30:43.523-05:002010-01-21T15:30:43.523-05:00Rational and well-reasoned argument will seldom ca...Rational and well-reasoned argument will seldom carry the day against a firmly committed liberal. The simplest solution I've ever found for explaining the Second to my students is to point out that there is no mention of hunting, collecting, target-shooting or self-defense. It is purely to provide the citizens, from whose consent the power to govern comes, the capability to withdraw that consent when necessary. It has been done in many nations over many years even with little more than infantry-equivalent weaponry. <br /><br />Canadians of some stripe seem willing to give that up, forgetting that they've flourished under our defensive umbrella for a century. It's not true of all Canucks, however.Ed Rasimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667325554289268659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475829827879308509.post-49255988753236943102010-01-21T13:59:31.730-05:002010-01-21T13:59:31.730-05:00He is a flipping liberal,and even when his researc...He is a flipping liberal,and even when his research is faulty he will stand by it, and jeer at those that try to reason with him.The Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373439094429321148noreply@blogger.com
