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

[Neil]

... and what that means is that modern liberal principles are wrong, because the Empire sure as hell wasn't.

[Ideologue]

You can keep India out for being fucking poor.

Instead, have the United States.

Or both.  I believe ethnic Anglos outnumber any ethnicity on the subcontinent.  We're one of the most populous peoples in the world, short of the Han.  Even if you only count biological Anglos, it's like 300 million, and if you count cultural Anglos, it's more than 400 million.

Yes, obviously, I'm counting the Scots and Irish, who are just Anglos with obnoxious accents, like myself, and would do well to stop pretending they aren't.

I didn't realize India was a Dominion for a short time before getting independence. However, Indian culture, language and political history are obviously radically different from the other dominions. South Africa's culture and political history are likewise distinct. I was speaking of the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

I would not be opposed to an Anglo-American Confederation, depending on how the governmental system would be hashed out.

The crown of the UK (and therefor Canada) has descended from The Conquest by blood.

From an even more ancient conquest.  The Crown of the UK (and probably most of the population of the UK by now...) is descended from Cerdic the Saxon from Henry I's wife Matilda I believe.

Doesn't the House of Windsor claim to be directly descended from Odin?

[OttoVonBismarck]

No.

We signed treaties (which the natives are still very keen on us following, BTW) where they agreed to move into reserations that were already on their traditional land.  The whole forced migration of entire tribes is a very American phenomenon.

In America we see subhuman, mongoloidal pieces of refuse wearing animal feces smeared on their face and living in tents and scalping people for a good time and we say "yeah, we're white and have guns we aren't going to have this bullshit around here" and we take care of the fucking problems.

Canadians prove they are cut from a different cloth (perhaps silk or velvet) and embrace them and 200 years later suck the cock of every alcoholic dumbfuck native that lives on a reservation on a pile of welfare money with QE2's face on it.

Damn! You fall of the wagon or something?

Fuck you Otto.

I know, and am friends with, quite a few First Nations (or Indian if you will) people.  The fact you would call them "subhuman, mongoloidal pieces of refuse" speaks poorly of you, not them.

I call Slargos on his racist shit, and I'll call you on it.

[jimmy olsen]

Unlike Slargos, Otto is clearly trolling and/or belligerently drunk.

Tell me - what possible justification do you have for classifying the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada together, other than on "racial" lines?

Ours.

There, done!

I already mentioned them. Language, Culture and Political History. Isn't New Zealand half aborigine?

They are predominately English speaking countries, whose political, religious/philosophical and popular culture are virtually identical.

Indians don't speak English as a native language, and less then 10% speak it at all. The culture (religious, political, and popular) is vastly different from the aforementioned countries, being based on a completely different historical foundation.

If we're designing a new democratic government from scratch I think we can do a little better than what we or the British have right now.

They get along with each other.  India is not so friendly.

Disagree.  The Westminster system is the ultimate democratic system devised to date.
