Quote: Well, if Canada tried to pull the same thing to protect our industries then you can bet the United States would probably just punish us by completely sealing off the border all together. Meh, American "punishments" aren't that bad. They tried initiating all sorts of trade sanctions and cancelling mutual assistance deals with New Zealand when we refused their nuclear ships entry to ur ports, and it never ammounted to anything. We just found new trading partners.

Red Green was quite popular with Americans while it was on the air. I believe alot of the stereotypical views of Canada arose from a series of skits on Saturday Night Live: "The Mackenzie Brothers". They were the ones who talked like "Hey hosehead, lets go get some beer and bacon eh?" It seems only the funny, stereotypical Canadian stuff reaches Americans, but hey, it makes me laugh. And Bamccaig, having spoken to over a thousand random Americans (as well as a dozen or so family members in San Diego), this hour has 22 minutes does not exaggerate much. ================================================= |

Mike Myers is good too. Americans seem to like his movies (Austin Powers and Wayne's World to name a couple). I know I do ================================================= |

Samuel Henderson said: Red Green was quite popular with Americans while it was on the air. That was a moderately funny show, but also low budget and I doubt it would appeal to many Americans south of the border states. I definitely can't see a major city resident enjoying it...

Yeah, that's pretty cool, however, hosted in Quebec. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Alot of people in Tennessee enjoyed it according to someone from Tennessee, but that was probably just his opinion. Quebec has it's uses. Maple Syrup, Laughs, and Montreal sum up the best of them I think. Edit: And now Bamccaig, as well as everyone at Allegro.cc and people on the intarwebs in general have a small view at my heritage. edit2: Quote: I thought it was the low legal age of consent( 14), that's why I would go... There is talk of raising that to 16... last I heard anyways. ================================================= |

It doesn't really matter because that age of consent law doesn't apply to you. It only allows a 14 year old to consent to another 14 - 17 year old. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Canadian Library of Parliment said: The Criminal Code does not now criminalize consensual sexual activity with or between persons 14 or over, unless it takes place in a relationship of trust or dependency, in which case sexual activity with persons over 14 but under 18 can constitute an offence, notwithstanding their consent. Even consensual activity with those under 14 but over 12 may not be an offence if the accused is under 16 and less than two years older than the complainant. The exception, of course, is anal intercourse, to which unmarried persons under 18 cannot legally consent, although both the Ontario Court of Appeal(3) and the Quebec Court of Appeal(4) have struck down the relevant section of the Criminal Code.

Here's a list that I skimmed out of Wikipedia... I'm only guessing that they were successful in the United States, but lets face it, if you're successful in entertainment you didn't do it in Canada.
Canadians are definitely more successful in the United States then they are in Canada. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

CSI is produced in partnership with Alliance Atlantis, so that would make it partially Canadian. I heard it was a pretty big series..... _________________________________________________ |

Alliance Atlantis is into all sorts of stuff. Nortel was pretty big during the DotCom boom. They aren't gone yet, so hopefully they stick around. Too bad really, they make some nice networking hardware. -- |

Dustin Dettmer said: Wait.. I don't get the joke.. In case there is no joke, yes there are trees in the United States whose trees change color in the fall I've seen the leaves change color 20 times (minus 1-3 for conscious thought)... It's nothing new. When I go into the States I don't notice if it happens there too. I'd have to assume it does (and I think I said that earlier), but for all I know they don't. I was defending that they do in response to Sam... Samuel Henderson said: Can your friend go and see the leaves on a maple tree changing colour in the fall like you can up here? I somewhat doubt it. In short, yes, my friend can see the leaves change color.

Nope. Around here if we spot a tree's leaves changing colors, we cut it down and ship it to Canada. |

The US needs Canada more than Canada needs the US. The US imports more oil from Canada than it does from Saudi Arabia. |

My tree argument is pretty weak when you apply it to all of USA. I intended it specifically for bamccaig's friend in California. It is to my understanding that they leaves are no where near as vibrant as ours are in the fall. And yes, I know that she could go to other states and see the same thing, my point was that there are other vacationy things aside from skiing and beaches. ================================================= |

I just saw on the news something about American protests where the protesters were throwing rocks at peace keeping police so the police fought back to contain them. Then the protesters were showing their minor wounds to news cameras like the government is abusing them... It's stupid people like them that make the others look bad. If I was the cop I'd just fucking shoot you. The police don't even directly represent the President... Why lash out at them!? Any anti-Bush people should be put on the spot to solve the problems the President is faced with. And when the "..." happens smack them for their ignorance. (I don't know where this happened and don't know all of the facts. This is my interpretation) -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?
