That sounds an awful lot like an excuse for laziness to me.

They’re just jealous of our plaid shirts and vast oceans of maple syrup.

I too miss Chretien, but mostly because he was frickin hilareous.

To quote every mobster ever, “Nothing personal. It’s just business.”

I’m with you. Drake has very little talent to back up his fame.

Take away their main source of income, and watch their power falter.

I’ve heard stories about middle east military effectiveness, or lack thereof, but it would be interesting to hear your reasoning on this.

I wouldn’t be so sure. Canada has a pretty decent air lift capacity. Even then, Canada most definitely wouldn’t go it alone. Should we be openly attacked, many nations would come to our aid and fight at our side.

and chicken in that country knew how to fight

Toronto is not the capital of Canada

Agreed. History has shown that most middle east militaries are absolutely pathetic when it comes to combat effectiveness. It’s not the quantity of troops that matters but the quality.

When was the last time you saw someone actually get flogged in the US?

Personally, I’d rather Twitter flame wars than actual wars.

Who’d he marry? I haven’t heard anything about this.

That’s a very scary, and very real, possibility. I know for certain that insurance companies would have no qualms about doing that, even if it meant millions of people suffering and dying.

It’s not about what people desire. It’s about what they can afford.

Walmart is so anti-union it’s not even funny anymore. A store in Quebec, Canada managed to unionize back in the 90's. Walmart promptly closed the store citing “lack of profitability.” I have no doubt that if a company wide unionization effort started gaining traction that the leaders of the movement would be found…

It’s soul crushing.

I truly believe that corporations want slaves, not employees, and they are trying to erode our rights and laws to the point where they can just purchase workers.

WTF? How does some ass hat in corporate seriously think he can argue the number of walls available with the person looking at the damn things?
