Does anyone have a Princess Auto near them? I do, and I feel like a kid in a candy store when I walk into it :shocked :chili: . I get a flier mailed to me every month telling me about the new sales coming up. I'll sit down circle a few items that usually end up adding up to between 20 and 70 bucks. But every time I step into the store with these few items in mind, I end up leaving having spent at least double and a shopping kart full of stuff. This time I have 7 items circled, costing about 70 bucks and I guaranty I spend no less than a hun.:duh
Is it just me or does anyone else have this problem

I hear ya. I used to drive to the one in Langley, but then the Coquitlam one opened up, and it's 5 minutes from my house! :clap

I've gotten over the "kid in a candy store" stage, as they never have anything new, but I still like to wander around the store every month or two.

I spend about an hour there every couple weeks

Monty Python said it best;

Why is making love in a canoe similar to American beer ?

(Eric Idle's English accent) "It's F#@%ing close to water".

Jokes aside I loved American beer and always enjoy living next door to the best neighbours a country could ask for.

Don't believe 40 years of Liberal disinformation and french Prime Ministers, we as English speaking Canadians have a Hell of a lot in common with our American cousins, and I for one am damned proud to live beside them and call them my neighbours !

As far as Princess Autos go I'm addicted too ! An hour is about the same time I spend there too.

:histerica Ya right. So what are you saying, you can only drink 12 beers before you're done for the night? Whatever turns your crank I guess.

I can think of a few more claims to fame, and a little more important than just better beer.
1) Pennacylin...discoverred by a Canadian
2) Baseball......invented by a Canadian
3)The portable shortwave radio so widely used by the U.S. military in WWII......invented by a Canadian
4)basketball...invented by a Canadian

I'm just a little bit tired of, and embarrassed by, bleeding heart Liberals and french prime Ministers slagging our one and only neighbour (who BTW has much more in common with us than the freaks who run our country).

Nobody could accuse us of being puppets, but by the flip side of the coin, why do people openly slag the best freakin' neighbours a nation could ask for ? Try to think of another group of people, as a nation, you'd rather have as a neighbour.

As much as I like Britian, I doubt even they'd be as generous as Americans have been to this country. Do you understand 1 in 2 domestic vehicles built in North America is built in Canada ???? How's that for a fair free trade trade off ?

If we have a world class medical system it could be argued the Americans paid for it indirectly. We have let our military and world peace keeping committments slip so badly, by spending ridiculous amounts of money on medicare, knowing full well our American neighbour will protect us by default.

You don't feel a little bit ashamed, or at least grateful for that ? I do.

I don't watch the news 24/7, but when I do, I don't see any slagging going on, at least not from the polititions...lately. I do hear some people in the logging industry do some slagging, and rightfully so. I'm not big on airing my political views on an open forum, but your remarks don't sit well with me.
You say 1 in 2 domestic vehicles are built in Canada. So what, should I pucker up now!? If the car companies weren't making money up here they simply wouldn't be here. They would pick up and move to Mexico, which by the way, if I'm not mistaken, has happenned already in the past.

While I'm on the subject of the bottom line, the U.S. government cares only for it's own interests. When something doesn't suite them, what do they do? post a tarrif and then tie it up in the courts for as long as they can knowing full well that they are in the wrong, just raking in the cash in the mean time.Take a look at the soft wood dispute, an arbotration panel sided with us on that, but the polititions are refusing to accept it. This B.S. has cost B.C. billions of dollars.

Free Trade has been a joke from day one. Back when all this free trade started, me and two other union members travelled to Ottowa to protest, along with tens of thousands of others. It was a very impressive demonstration. Do you think anyone else in the country knew about it? I called my family and told them to watch the news and they said there was no footadge of all the people and hardly any mention of it. Even when I watched the news right in Ottowa, there was hardly anything said about it. This has more to do with our government and is when I started to get this bad taste in my mouth about free trade.

The farming coelition down south want to ban any and all imports of beaf. If that ever happenned the American public would end up paying a lot more than they are now for their hamburgers. You say "How's that for a fair free trade trade off ?" How can you use the word fair when describing the free trade between our countries. Tell me one thing fair for us. The American polititions claim we subsidies our lumber industries, that's not true.

You want to hear something totally retarded? I'm a steel fabricator, and for the last 3 years, because our dollar has been so low, alot of our work has come from the states. But some of these costumers are so freaken anal, on a couple of jobs we did, there was a note on every print that told us to grind any referance to Canada. In case you don't know all beams and angle and tubing etc... have NYC or CANADA or KOREA on it in raised letterring (except for the tubing which is painted on).

You bring up some good points, especially about not airing our Canadian political laundry in a vastly American forum (who have graciously provided a Canadian section for us).

That said it's hard to stand up against people slagging our neighbour without bringing our own leftist politics and french politicians into it. For the last 40 years, since the pearson era, they've done their level best to disassociated and tear down the working trade system that was commonwealth.

Next they've been unsupportive of or American neighbour (who 84% of our trade and commerce is with) and attempted to build up and seed false resentment amonst the public toward Americans.

Their true colours showed through when that bitch french cabinet minister called our neighbour's president and @$$hole( or was it worse?) in parliment and wasn't even initially censured for it. That's not being a good neighbour in my books, but it sure shows the level of professionalism amongst french politicians.

Why is our government trying to build false resentment amongst us towards Americans ? Is it so we don't notice that in spite of record economic gains this year in Canada we still can't post better than an 86 cent dollar ?

That's not the American's fault. The reasons are so deeply entrenched into the budget (the real cost of bilingulism, economically sucking Quebec's @$$ trying to keep them here(sponsorship), a medical system whose costs grow at 7-8% a year) that even the auditors can't find and identify them.

Add to that, not only Quebec politicians making all the decisions,but a 55% french public service that works 6 hours a day and whose only aim is to get that cousin from Chicoutamie in through the back door to take that Englisher's job.

Our problems begin and end here at home, with our political and government leadership or lack thereof. They have entirely different agendas than the average Canadian wants or agrees with. You as a Westerner must know this.

During that drought the West had 6 years ago the PM sent 150,000 bucks to "the West" to help out. Whoopdee do da ! Many single farms could have used more relief. Instead he sent Manitoba 50,000, Saskatcewan 50,000 and Alberta 50,000.

The local Ottawa valley farmers sent more relief on their own. Meanwhile that pocket-lining Liberal ba$turd set up an 8 million dollar international museum in his riding, which is 9 hours (by car) above the tourist routes.

What numbskull government couldn't see that we have a golden opportunity to spool up the tar sands and supply the biggest oil users in the world (America), before the tar sands become worthless with new technology invents a replacement.

Not only that, if the Americans are buying from us no money flows into the hands of people who want to supply terrorists. My Hydrogeologist Brother informs me we have 300 years WORLD supply in the tar sands. We could supplant the middle east and supply any country we choose. What's that oil gonna be worth in 20 years when find an alternative supply ? Nothing !

As far as Free trade, I'm a convert. I initially opposed it in the 80s but I cannot deny the positive effects now vastly outweigh the negative aspects. We can now buy stuff, today, for less than the exact same item cost 25 years ago.

What's more, protectionism does not work. Progress and change come whether we like it or not. People who want to bury our Canadian heads in the sand would only get our Canadian @$$es reemed by foriegn competition evenually, be it American, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.

Nobody is keen on tariffs, but I heard an American analyst stating the other day, that the Canadian softwood industry is now the most efficient, cost effective (read competitive) one in the world. Even with the tariffs in place, they buy more wood from us than they produce in the U.S.

If and when the tariffs are eventually eliminated our softwood industry will be topdog in the world thanks to their own efforts to modernize and streamline production.

Enough from me, I'm stepping down off the soapbox. Just know that I'm 20 miles South of these porkbarreling, American hating, french nepotists and it makes me sick to think they want us to hate our neighbour, so we don't see how these french ba$turds are strip mining to our own country's future.

I haven't had much cause to agree with an eastern canadian,until now. the center of the universe has not sucked up all your spirit yet. head west before it's too late.

But who do YOU hang around with? I don't hear any serious slagging going on at say work or from friends. The local politicians don't slag. I'm trying to figure out what color the sky is in your world, Canada bends over back wards for the U.S. I can't remember the last deal made between the two countries that benefited us more. It's never happened and never will, at least based on past deals.

When that French bitch cabinet minister called Bush a bastard, she was not talking to the camera and apologized for it, not to mention resigned. I guaranty no American would go so far as to resign over a comment made about Canadians. Didn't she say that after Bush said "You're either with us or against us"
That kind of comment was simply ridiculous. Canad is the first to do the shit jobs in a coalition. I didn't hear any apologies from Bush when no weapons of mass destruction were found.

I don't see anyone trying to build any false resentment against the states. As far as the value of our dollar, we don't want it any higher. My company is busy because our dollar is low. Don't you watch the news when our dollar goes up? Our major trade partner wont come here if our dollar goes any higher. I had no idea about the French politicians and what they do or the French peoples hours of work and such, that's b.s.

I can't comment about the drought, Don't know anything about it.
As far as our oil goes, why should we send it down? We are very much consumers of oil, so why should we send it all down south. We already send electricity and natural gas at a low rate. Lets keep some of this for ourselves. If you were a chicken farmer, it wouldn't make sense to sell all your chickens to the butcher and then go to the store to buy the same chicken at a mark up.

"If and when the tariffs are eventually lifted..." Tell that to the families that are now on welfare and or have lost their homes.
Bottom line, I TOTALLY disagree with about 90% of what you have to say.

Our currency has both advantages and disadvantages when it rises like it has. We might as well get used to it because the economic outlooks for the dollar indicate it should hold or rise in the next year. I didn't take the time to read the entire posts above but got a good flavour for what you guys are debating. The protectionist attitude of the US has doen them more harm than good. By shutting down the import of Canadian Beef, it has forced the Canadian Beef Industry to examine where the biggest impact occurred. Now, we are developing our own processing plants and developing our own economy. Without the US action, they would still have 1000's of jobs in their northern states, such as North Dakota and Montana, which will now be located in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Out of every negative, there is an opportunity for us to develop. To say everything is bad, is to sit back and complain. To say there is an opportunity to is to observe and act. Just my 2 cents.

I can accept your disagreement and live here with you on this board Waltman

When I talk about the uncaring, undedicated french politicians and government workers I am talking about the Canadian, Federal ones, of whom 55% are french. The West is virtually unrepresented in Ottawa, whether it's politicians or especially public servants.

Know that our own politicians have been doing jack at the negotiation table. David Salucci (the outgoing US ambassador) reminded us all, when the reporters asked him about softwood, that it was the Canadian delegation that stopped talking.

Ottawa doesn't give a crap about the negotiations, why blame the states ? as far as American slagging, you only have to watch television or read the national papers.

We had the editor of the Ottawa Citizen fired, by a crony of the last PM, just because he backed a reporter's article criticizing the Prime Minister.

I have no worries about regular free trade negotiations. I do have concerns about the way our own Gov't just doesn't give a $h!t about the West or anyone East or West of Quebec.

The Liberal disinformation machine has been finely honed for damage control and taking the spotlight off the real issues for 40+ years. Their supporters own all the papers. I'm not saying the papers are in their pockets, I'm saying they outright own them !

If those ba$turds are deliberately not going to the negotiation table, believe me it's just a ploy to take the brain-dead liberal press's eyes off some other scandal or issue the Liberals don't want brought to light. They don't give a rat's @$$ about British Columbians.

I haven't lived in BC since 71' and admittedly I'm not as informed as I should be about the impact soft lumber is having on the province. That said Ontario gets WAY more of the lion's share with the autopact than their US partners.

When I moved out to BC in 69, the dollar was $1.07 US, not 86 cents. John Turner, Trudeau's finance minister at the time, was just receiving the last payment of the war debts Britain owed us from the second world war and we had zero national deficit.

The Liberals are criminals with the best spin doctors money can buy. They hate you because you're Western, English and you don't vote for them. Take the blinders off and realize they are the problem, not the Americans and free trade.

International (global) trade was coming anyway. Love him or hate him, Mulroney and more importantly the brilliant Micheal Wilson, made the move 20 years ago, before we were pushed.

I'd much rather be trading with America, whose values really do closely resemble our own, than sending money to Japan, China, etc whose values are not at all like ours and intentions are not fully known to us (China).

Who else can you truck or freight train our stuff to anyway ? This is one trade dispute we will get over, and continue trading into the future.

Well, sixlitre, I don't know much about the politics of the east so all I have to say about that is, oh. I do know, however that the concerns of the west are of no consern to the provincial government.
As far as trade with the U.S. goes, it only makes sense that so much trade goes on between our two countries, we are afterall right next door to each other. I just have a problem with one sided agreements.
Oh and Mulroney.. he sold us out. That xxxxxxxx can go xxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxx then take this xxxxx and shove it where the sun don't shine.

As far as the West goes I wish you well and hope you get some Federal representation soon. Please don't ever seperate from us.

We in Ontario were deaf, dumb and blind to your warnings about Quebec and french Prime Ministers for 30 years ! We're just staring understand the damage they're doing to this country and our relationship with our one and only neighbour.

Give us time, in Ontario, to stop supporting Quebec just because it's politically correct and to get out heads out of our @$$es.

Next time they want to go, we'll give them their share of the debt, or cut off the federal pensions, either way we'll be out of the red in one generation.

Then we'll see how they like sucking @#ck in American instead of English. Maybe it'll taste better to them, than the outrageously unfair treatment we've been giving them.

I'll just be thrilled to know my federal tax dollars won't be supporting language police in a so-called democracy.

Thanks for putting up with the rants. I see this $h!t up close and personal everday I can't believe every Canadian isn't screaming to rid us of the Liberal and Bloc Quebecois !

This country can and will thrive without Quebec. We'll get the Americans to build a toll highway under Quebec to the East coast and keep her together until English/American satelite television and alaphones have finished the assimilation job for us.

Won't even take a generation when the federal money stops and the real cost of maintaining their "distinct" language hits their own coffers. Trading in North America (and the world) is conducted in the language of commerce (English). Who they planning on trading with ?

France thinks they're low-class scum and doesn't care for them and quite frankly there's 15 times more Spanish speakers in American than there are French speakers in North America.

Thank the good lord GhostRider, be thankful

Basically we have the tail wagging the dog up here. We have the second largest province(state) actually being a net drain financially on the rest of the country.

That is to say they take more tax money out of the Federal system than their Province puts in.

What's more our federal dollars, in an indirect way support language police who persecute non-french speaking people within Quebec in a similar manner to the way pre-war Germany restricted freedoms.

A Prime Minister, from their Province decided not to send troops to Iraq without consulting the people of Canada.

Over half the government civil service is populated by french employees, when they constitute far less than 1/5th of the population.

They put laws in place to prevent the hiring of "Englishers" and anyone who dares to learn French will never pass the oral exam, they see to that. For that reason no one advances who is English.

The only light on the horizon is they are not replacing themselves with the birthrate. Unfortunately it will come too late for Canada.

Don't get me started, I could go on for days

France thinks they're low-class scum and doesn't care for them
That reminds me when one of the blockhead seperate tits started spouting off that france supported the move to seperate, and france said.. uh uh..no we dont..what you do doesn't matter etc.

If I'd been in Quebec City in 68'

when that credit-stealing DeGaul said " Viva la Quebec" I'd have shot him dead on the spot, or at least deported him. Two years later those low life scum, the FLQ(Canada's terrorists) killed an innocent Quebec cabinet minister and kidnapped an innocent Briton ! Think you might have had something to do with that President DeGaul ?

After reading what Roosevelt and Churchill put up with, from Degaul, all through the war I have new found respect from FDR and Winston. I'd have thrown him in a cell and let him rot out the war behind bars.

I wonder how the allied soldiers, American, British and Canadian felt after clearing the way to Paris, as those cheese eating retreat monkeys drove past them into Paris to "liberate Paris for France".

I thank the Lord daily that I wasn't born with a French accent and attitude.

Waltman.....urrr right about some of what you said........but dont forget the advantage you have by living beside the most powerful military in the world. Basically if anyone even thought about invading Canada the US Armed Forces would blow their ass off the map. So that must help ya sleep a little better at night. Especially during the cold war too since russia's pretty close too.

BTW I used to live about 30 miles from the border of canada in NY, been to canada many times...especially Niagra Falls. I pretty much consider Canada like part of the US myself. They are alot more like us than say...mexico.

Country thinking about attacking Canada-->:enforce <---USA

What you say is not only re-assuring for us Canadians, and dead true, it's also a major reason the Liberals in our country think they can afford to slack off our military and economic commitments to the world community and build the worlds most expensive medicare system.

Only a fool (or an NDP voter) couldn't see the direct connection between these two facts.

I for one feel a little ashamed that Americans carry the bill for policing the world and stepping in wherever necessary, while some of my fellow countrymen (and french female cabinet ministers) have the gaul to criticize America while not supporting them (like we used to).

All the while these hypocrites are criticizing others they are spending less money to help the world and more money on themselves and their precious medicare system.

Our leftists speak a lot of retoric about Canada being the world peace maker and Canada being the righteous donating nation. The truth is America gives far more aid per person than Canada.

These Canadians are surprisingly well educated and many of them have studied history extensively in universty, yet they still can't connect the dots. They would rather we sit and wait, just like the league of nations they studied, until the UN becomes just as ineffective as they were and tyrants go on with their atrocities unopposed.

They're the first to criticise America for taking action and doing the right thing and the last to credit any of the good results America achieves.

They forget that it was the world that drew America into world policing in WWI (and the world breathed a sigh of relief that they tipped the balance). They also forget it was an American president that set up the world league of nations. It was also America that tipped the balance and helped save the world (including the French) in WWII.

The Americans have been drawn into being the world's policeman and paid for the UN and all the other organizations and have borne the brunt of the costs of almost every intervention of the last century.

Most people (even the French for a split second) were briefly grateful for these huge contributions, but many nations have sinced followed France's lead of sandbagging America at every turn.

I can understand the cheese eating retreat monkees, but it pains me to see Germans and some Canadians assuming the higher moral ground, when they assume so little of the risk or cost !

Sixlitre, If you didn't actually post where you are from, I would have thought you were American. The way you bash Canada, why don't you move there? You seem to take a lot for granted. I used to go across the line for cheap beer in my early twenties and I've never come across anyone who preached the praises of America as much as you do.
Mogley, you are right America would defend us in a heart beat. We've been allies for about 200 years. But if you think about it, even if we were enemies there is no way America would allow say, China invade and set up bases there with out some major military action.
My beef is by no means with the Amercan people, we ARE so much alike. We share all the same interests, same goals and mostly the same views. I dislike the governing body. I hate Bush. I liked him at first and cheered him on imidiately after 911. But I quickly started to dislike Bush when he snubbed Canada while making that speech and thanking everyone except Canada for helping out at 911. Canada literally openned their doors to all the stranded passengers of the airlines that were turned away. Individuals allowed total strangers to stay in their homes. I was proud to be Canadian at that moment.
I was waching CNN afterwards and they were criteeking Bushes response during 911. Apperantly he was at an elemenary school while this was going on and was made aware of what was happenning. But instead of taking care of business he stayed put. That is not how a leader should act or rather reacte. I think that was wrong. Heck I disagree with bush on so many levels, he literally scares me. With him and people like him in power the world as a whole is NOT a safe place.

Waltman

Let's just say I'm no longer as proud a Canadian as I was. Like you I spent a lot of time in my 20s drinking in upstate New York and Vermont.

Back then there was no doubt about my staying Canadian. Even now I am forced, having spent my youth, to remain here under the rule of the minority.

I think you'll find quite a few Americans, here on this board, who share your view of President Bush and as many who don't.

My point is the Canadian press is so anti-American (if for no other reason than to make a story) that they slant everything against Mr. Bush before he opens his mouth.

I also agree with you and Mogley that the Americans are going to see to it that we are well protected for as long as they draw breath, and for that we can all be thankful.

As I've stated before, we've got to stop worrying about what the Americans are doing and start trying to understand how our children's futures are being effected by unbelievably unfair decisions occuring right here in Canada.

Watch the BBC world news for a while and at the same time watch the Canadian version each day. The BBC reports what actually happened and what was actually said. Most Canadian networks report their take on what was said or they think happened.

If I ever learn French it will be just so I can read the kind of disinformation and lies the French Canadian papers write each and every day. The federal government does NOTHING to dispell these lies.

Do you know that National Geographic (an American periodical) was interviewing Montrealers 10 years ago for an article on Quebec. Most of these semi-literate average Quebecers actually believed that the rest of Canada was bleeding Quebec dry financially ! Had any rootbeer fountains installed in Stanley Park courtesy of Quebec lately ?

How the heck did these Quebecers get this idea ?!?!?!?!?!!?! To their credit National Geographic told it like it was and their article explained how the second most populus Province was actually a net financial drain on the rest of Canada and how they wielded the balance of power in all things political.

There are enough critics of Mr Bush (right and wrong) in the world without Canadians bashing their neighbour IMO. We have more than enough to put right in our own country without criticizing our very friendly neighbours.

The Liberal spin doctors like to overblow anything they can to take attention away from the latest part of the farm they're giving away. Today it's a normally minor trade dispute Minor in their eyes). Don't think for a minute Federal Liberals give a rat's @$$ about BC or anything West or East of Quebec.

If the Liberals are doing something for you or something you're interested in, get your @$$ safely backed against a wall and ask yourself what they're really up to.

For heaven's sake stop believing Canadian Network news as gospel !

It sounds like you really hate living in ottowa. Why don't you just move to another city or better yet province. I was in Ottowa to protest NAFTA in the early nineties and I'll tell you, my impression of Ottowa was it is'nt even a nice place to visit. Admittedly I was only there for 2 1/2 days but I found it boring, especially on sunday. ALL THE BARS WERE CLOSED!!!!!!! I had more fun when we were in Toronto.

:beer Oh ya, I've been there a few times. In my younger days I used to drive home from there with one eye closed so I can see double... I'm much better now, I don't need to close one eye anymore, practice makes perfect, just kidding.

About 10 years ago I got arrested for robbing the place. I didn't really rob it, the short version is while I was working afternoons, someone stole my back plate and either left it behind on purpose or it fell off when they backed their truck through the double doors, that's why they have the concrete filled pipes in front of the doors now. They took the whole freaken safe if I remember right.

I think going for drinks could be a definite possibility :beer

Still haven't switched teams on you Waltman, course I haven't been to prison yet.

Just damned grateful for our friends to the South and far more aware than most Canadians of how lucky we are to have them as our neighbours.

Ottawa's a nice enough place (I live 20 miles out in the country below it), with plenty of festivals each year, including the largest Bluesfest this side of Chicago. I just can't stand to watch all the money coming in from all over the country and getting wasted and/or leaving to Quebec.

As an English speaking person in Ottawa, I feel like a stranger in my own land.

Got lots of buddies who had to leave Ottawa to get a job in Toronto(English speaking) and I get down to see them often. Aside from the handguns, in certin parts of Toronto, it's a great place I may yet end up in (or near).

Yes it is wrong that Quebec dictates our foreign policy, with that said, did I not make myself clear. I don't support Bush or his reasons for invading Iraq, he still has not found WOMD. According to the poles, the Canadian public supported the decision not to join the invasion force, what did Bush call it, I couldn't find the quote but here is a long list of retarded quotes by Bush.
http://www.slate.com/id/76886/?nav=navoa

Allowing Quebecers to determine Canada's policy on Iraq and missile defence damaged our national interest because our economy depends on trade with the United States, he said.

If you think supporting another country simply because we may get, for lack of a better word, blackmailed, reason to support them than you really gotta give your head a serious shake. I will not compromise my beliefs because our trade may decline if I don't support another countries foreign policy, I'll live with the consequence, thank-you.

Canada needs to do much more to integrate newcomers from non-traditional countries, who now comprise the vast majority of immigrants. "We must make Canadians of those who come here," he declared, adding that polls show Canadians "want immigrants to understand that we are part of Western civilization, with all its values."

Within several ethnic immigrant groups, he noted, Canada has "failed to erase the link of blood and soil."

In other words Canada failed to brainwash immigrants into believing they have no family or connections of any kind in a country they were born in and grew up in. That is one the most absurd thing I've ever read, not that I support genocide, but you can't expect someone with the ability to save his family from harm to sit back and do nothing.

In conclusion: If Americans are upset with us for not joining them in invading Iraq, even after no Weapons Of Mass Destruction were found, nor were they capable of making WOMD, then too fricken bad. If you yourself feel that strongly that we should have gone then you go right ahead and join an army somewhere and good riddance.

I agree IT IS VERY WRONG that Quebec dictates foreign policy and affects the way Americans feel about us and trade with us, it obviously affected your lumber industry buddies (strike 1 Quebec).

We’re obviously diametricly opposed on the former criminal (PM) not letting our troops join in taking out Saddam and his regime. I’m one of the normally silent majority in Canada, the majority the articles talked about, who were not only opposed to us not going, we dearly wanted to take part.

The Americans were not forcing us, they were going to do it anyway, they were simply leading the way. I’m not going to repeat all the articles written describing the obvious indicators that Saddam had WOMD. It’s pretty obvious they were spirited away, like their airforce was to Iran or into one of many nearby terrorist friendly states.

I’d have signed off on the troops going in for dozens of reasons; Gassing 5,000+ of his own people in Kurd villages, invading and threatening a neighbouring country, crimes against the environment (setting all Kuwait’s oil fields ablaze). To list the dozens of other atrocities would take up too much time.

I have no trouble with George W Bush and his entering Iraq, I am a little critical of his Dad for reigning in Schwartzkoff 15 years ago before he razed Bagdad and dethroned Saddam then.

Heck back then, even NDP voters would have signed on. People that couldn’t see Iraq’s leader as a problem are probably decendents of the people that voted for and believed in Neville Chamberlain in 1939 “peace in his mind” (“peace in our time” was his actual quote).

Quote:

I think this older, wiser Canadian (who remembers a much better Canada than you and I can) was simply stating what Holland, Germany, Great Britain, France, etc are saying. All first world countries are attractive because of the way they are perceived by potential immigrants.

All first world countries get a better flavour with new cultures. That said, recent Europeans(last 100 years) and other previous groups of immigrants didn’t try to invoke religious laws on the majority and change fundamental rights and freedoms in their new country.

Been watching Ontario lately ? The politically correct idiots actually gave consideration to Islamic Sharia law !!!!!!!!!!!!!! What exactly was it that attracted these people to this country ? Was it the way we cut off female children’s clits ? Wait a minute ? That’s right ! we don’t !

When he talks about immigrants not erasing their links to blood, he's talking about their inabaility to bury the hatchet, give up the violence and get on with their new lives. You only have to live in a large Canadian city to understand what he means.

My apologies I assumed you were a true Westerner, not an NDP or Liberal sympathizer. The Americans aren’t forcing me to do anything, I agree with them doing the right thing. The right things are not always easy or popular (Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, etc), but they have to be done.

The Americans weren't forcing us to join the coalition, but one of the things he said that was totally ridiculous was either you're with us or against us now come on, is that not retarded? It's not like we were planning a counter attack on behalf of Saddam. (not like we could)

The "indicators" of WOMD weren't substantiated, in my opinion. I'm not saying the man shouldn't have been taken out, I'm just saying if you're going to take the man out, why make an excuse, the atrocities the man has done over the years as you say should have been enough reason to do something about it.
As far as the last Bush finishing Saddam off, I know he wanted to, heck I wanted him to. But the middle eastern countries that were backing him at the start of the war would not and did not support any further action once the Iraqis surrendered.
All first world countries get a better flavour with new cultures. That said, recent Europeans(last 100 years) and other previous groups of immigrants didn’t try to invoke religious laws on the majority and change fundamental rights and freedoms in their new country.


I totally agree with you here. When that Seek gentleman wanted to continue wearing his turban in order to be an RCMP officer, our government in their infinite wisdom changed the dress code for the RCMP to accommodate this man. That was BS. I guarantee if I or you went to India and said we could not dress like their police due to our religion They would have said fine, then leave.
So I agree with what you are saying about the immigrants bringing their crude beliefs here. I'll do one better, when they bring their violence here and carry on their fighting in our streets, I wish our government would smarten up and say ok strike one, two and three. You just massacred all these people, good bye, and deport them no second chances.

In conclusion, now that you cleared up the immigrant thing I agree with you there, but I can't believe you still support the invasion of Iraq, so on the Iraq thing lets agree to disagree.

WOMD, in my opinion.

I totally agree with you here.

So I agree with what you are saying

In conclusion, I agree with you

something tells me this thread isn't about Princess Auto anymore. :cry

Princess auto has 100 watt chrome offroad lights on sale for $15/per. I was real tempted but I can't justify spending that right now, I was just buying more hose for my OBA which I plan on starting next week.

They also have cheezy light kits (best suited for a Ricer-Mobile) by Blazer. Driving lights are $12.49 and fogs are $14.99. Comes with a pair of lights, wiring and switch.

The driving lights will make sweet rock lights! :thumbup

Sweeeeeet! I bought a new chop saw the other day. Their Power Fist brand for $88 (plus tax) and it seems to have enough torque to do what I want. :rockon The only problem is the blade that came with it is crap. I put in a T to see how it would do and it cut throught the vertical part like butter, but when it got to the flat part it just heated up the steel to red hot. But not a problem because I have at least a hundred used blades at my dads place which I scored from the last shop I worked at and they are about the same diameter as a new blade.
