Canada to firmly re-assess its status as a British colony

[Barrister]

after a bit more research, obviously, I'm wrong....

besides, there is only one winnipeg hockey team worth mentioning

That gold medal belongs to US!

What the hell are you talking about?

And clearly there is only one Winnipeg hockey team worth talking about - the multiple AVCO Cup winning Winnipeg Jets.

The 1920 Winnipeg Falcons



Firstname Firstnamesson's the bulk of them...

Haven't I been telling you that Manitoba has the largest Icelandic population outside of Iceland for a long time?

Falcons was a popular contender for the new name of the team (though nowhere near as popular as Jets).

But if you want to go that far back, then you might as well talk about the only Winnipeg team to win the Stanley Cup - the Winnipeg Victorias.  Champions in 1896, 1901, and 1902.

Typical of most complaints that come out of Quebec anymore ...

And a typical torrent of clichés and prejudices from the neighboring country, whenever the people of this one don't pull in the same direction.

What's Canada?  A cart being pulled by 2 horses going in opposite direction.

The horses are going in the same direction, but there's a tiny (but very loud) fly trying the aggetate the french speaking horse

Psst - don't tell Grallon, Viper & co. about the Royal Canadian Mint.

So long as they do not commit the ultimate insult and start putting the Queen's face on the currency I am ok with it.

[Grallon]

Valmy, the neighboring country I was referring to isn't the US - it's Canada.

Ah gotcha.  You were responding to dps so I was confused.

The War of 1812 is apparently, for English Canada, the foundation of their national feelings, the first time they realized they were not Americans.

For all the times I was told I didnt understand Quebec (probably correctly) pot meet kettle.

Until then we felt left out for not being invited the revolutionary fun a few decades before

Your Grammar is usually quite good but in the case you have to be in a Country in order to have a neighboring country and the only country neighboring where you live is the US.

You can go on pretending it is not so.  I suppose that is harmless.

I'm quite willing to be insulted - repeatedly - by recieving $20 bills from the good folks of Quebec.

I remember a conversation with a Canadian Professor of Education at a cocktail party where I tried to convince her that Canada was a Monarchy, she seemed to think it was a Republic since Canada got it's Constitution. It wasn't until I asked her what face was on her money and walked her through the Canadian constitutional system that she relented and admitted that Canada was a Monarchy, just like Norway.

Well not exactly like Norway, since we have the Governor General as intermediary...

Obviously failing to receive an education I am glad this Canadian decided to study why.
