Fun random fact from the NYT: America currently has 45 million immigrants, 14% of the population.  Not sure if that includes illegals or not.

Canada has only 3 war. Korea, WWI & WWII.

Boer War, and 1812.

[Razgovory]

Never. Lost. a. War.

Well neither have I, and I'm a year older then an Independent Canada.

I wish UFC and boxing fights weren't so fucking late.

Don't worry, not everybody tuned in to Douglas/Tyson either.

1812 is non grata.

I forgot the Boer War. That's a victory tho, right?

Question for the French speakers; is "Deep thought" (pensée profonde most likely) idiomatic for "Condolences"?  We got an e-mail from corporate today about the attacks in Paris, and our leadership expressed their "Deep thought for the victims."

[Duque de Bragança]

Nope. Sincères condoléances is commonly used.

I think Deep Thought is only appropriate as a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference.

1812 was a Canadian victory anyway.

There was no Canada in 1812 so that doesn't count.  But he did miss Afghanistan.  For some reason people forget Canada had boots on the ground there in the very early days of that conflict.

Yes there was. Two of them in fact.

War in Afghanistan is not over. Not sure what a win or a loss would look like there but then I never really understood our war aims besides 'not too fucked up so we can leave without looking too foolish'.
