LWPJMB " All socialist doctrine should be printed and used as toilet paper. "
Isn't this getting a little dangerous. I'm no socialist (more like a British one nation conservative), but I think all book should be published, freely available and treated with some respect. What you advocating is a couple of steps on the path to what the Nazis ended up doing, that is burning books.
Canada isn't really socialist by European standards and I think a good case could be made for saying that their are now no real socialist govts on the continents.
I don't know about the Canadian health system, so I can't comment; I always find its good not to bang on about something I don't know about.
The insult you refer to was more directed at G.W.Bush rather than the institution, if it had that would be more outrageous. Personaly I don't think Bush is an idoit, its about time people stopped underestimating me and gave more thought to seriously challenging some of his policies.
How is Canada "Lame", can't stand on its own two legs. Looking at their record in WW2 (appropriate for HOI), they suffered slightly higher causalties (as as % of their population) than the USA, as did Australia and New Zealand's proportion was twice that.
I think you miss the point of US-Canadian relations, shouldn't it be about being good neighbours. I'm sure Canada get lots of benefits from being next door to the USA, but the US also get access to a well developed market for its goods, gets a large range of raw materials at good prices. Ofcourse the trouble over Canadian timber exports is one of the things I criticise Bush most for, those sort of trade tarrifs help no one in the long run.
As for HOCKEY, I can't comment just to say it is only a game, just like HOI.
Being british we've learnt to live with inventing games and having others completely trash us at it. ie what the Aussies are doing to us in Cricket at this moment. By the way crickets a game played by many more countries world wide than American Football or baseball
