bush visit canada

[franksters]

I guess bush is looking for friends now , his speach was all about how good canadian are...

I guess he finally acknowledge that no one can be the leader of the world alone it's like being a captain when there is no team..

hahaha

[Big Train]

I dont know if I would go THAT far...

[ODShowtime]

we just got over the crappy ass US tour and now the world tour is starting up?




at least the twins and spamual new when to call it quits!

[franksters]

have you heard the speach ... the man is desperate to have allies in order to continue the work, mind you i have nothing against it u.s do the dirty work spend the trillions and we send some peace maker after and stabilise the situation, beleive me we are gettin some for our money!

also now the us dollar as drop and canadian dollar is up almost to the 90cent so it's all good..

US need to have allies like canada , great britain and so on or else no one will approve their actions, and afgan and irak is really nothing wait for korea china and maybe even russia to be in the game, believe me big train they need everybody because the other countries I just named , they don't fuck around and they have the money the man power and the technologie...

Not only was it the first time I ever heard Bush use the word "multi-lateral", but I believed he used it 6 times.

His researchers and speech writers did a good job, I will give them that, but he can still shove the missile defence program.

[Warham]

Just imagine if Canada was, say, next to Iraq or Iran. Do you think they would spend more money on their military, or do you think they would leave it up to their next door neighbors to do that for them?

Canada does need to spend more on defense. A Toronto based military analyst has recently predicted Canada will essentially be disarmed because most of its weapon's systems will have reached the end of their service lives.

[Warham]

It'd never happen, but if America or any other heavily armed country like China wanted to invade Canada for the hell of it, they'd put up less of a fight than the Iraqis did when the U.S. went into Baghdad.

I heard Canada has a few thousand in their military. Not too many in case of an emergency.

Bonjour mes amis. Comment ca va?

I think we need to keep the peace-keeping that Pearson got us into.

You folks in PQ will be the ones to keep us out of the missile defense bullshit though. 65% of Quebec is against it, if Martin signs on, it would pretty much GUARANTEE a yes vote next referendum.

So, thanks to you Quebecer's - keep it up! :D

Canada is the biggest joke of a country just as much as France is in opposing the war in Iraq because it wouldn't have made it at all without a little help from the U. S. I think President Bush was just trying to mend fences like most leaders do but Canada is waste of time anyway except for a few great rock, country & comedy acts.

At least by opposing to war we prevent things like 9/11 to happen here, believe me i traval a lot and anywhere around the world people respect and love canada, we also got voted best place to live on earth i think 4 years in a row,

as for the usa it's unfortunate but people usually hate you and in every country they have a name for u.s citizens isn't that funny!!

i'd rather have a canadian flag on my back than a us one, it usually get me favors! instead of trouble.

president bush is a morron and an hypocrite, he is driving your country down: money wise, health wise, military wise, he is making enemies for us everytime he speaks on an international platform, and on top of it he says they go defent the people of these country afgan irak ect.. but frankly it is just because of the gas issue: to secure your price of gas, usa don't go defend or liberate no one if they don't have some $$$$ involve...

why bush didn't sign kyoto : simply because he doesn't give a fuck about the world and the pollution.

he says he doesn't like dictator country and that the people should be free, WHY DOESN'T HE GO TO SAOUDIE ARABIA and kill those fuckers..

simply because usa buys 35% of it's gas and oil product from there...

so right now u.s.a for me stands for :united stupid assholes....

[YEAHIMROTH!]

why do u americans treat whats going on like a computer game in iraq? with use the " goodies " and everyone else the " baddies " and speaking as someone from U.K fkn everyfkn person here hates america the only person who does i tony blair because he must be gettin something out if it. you ruined it for yourselves with your gung ho approach to everything. america summed up in one word = NEWBS.

That is not true...our military is small but not that small.

Our military relies on reserves also...like your NG units...they are never counted into the numbers.

That is what gives us the ability to have a say in the goings on within the UN.

We are slipping though....

There is nothing wrong with peace keeping...it is our duty as a "Have" nation.
The thing the general pulbic do not seem to realize is that a peace keeping army must be a well trained and equiped fighting army...otherwise what good are you?
We have succeded but our lack of fresh replacements is cathcing up.
It took troubles in Afghanistan to finally get a decent jeep...Sea Kings, fuck...I bet if the PM had to fly to work everyday in one they would of been replaced long ago.

[franksters]

I wonder if usa learns about other things than the us in school, cause they never seem to know where canada is and once a guy from california told me that he tough that north of new york was the ocean!!

I had to told him that montreal was the team that bet the l.a. in the stanley cup final so he would know what i was talking about, and by the way we don't live in igloos!

We have many short commings in equipment but what we do have is excellent.

The Coyote was relied on heavily by British and U.S. forces in Kosovo and once again in afghanistan...home grown technoligy.
The Lav III Kodiak is good kit...packs 25mm cannon at 100 Kmh/h with a infantry section in the rear.

I don't agree! Canada's underfunded military is subject to much national debate, scrutiny, and even comedy satire. I know this because I sometimes watch your TV. I am not criticizing everything nor do I mean this as a Nationalist bullshit ugly-American slap at Canadians as do some of my fellow Americans.

The personnel and some of the weapon systems of Canadian origin are top notch (U.S. commanders complemented Canadian snipers in Afghanistan after 9/11) and the U.S. Marines and Army use variants of the LAV(-25) and "Striker" APC.

But I will not backtrack on that, the ultimate victims of this is the members of your armed forces who can't even get new fucking helicopters for search and rescue!

[WACF]

I should of posted that a little better...

I agree that our military needs to be better funded.
I read my post and I included that part in your quote...I should of taken that part out.

What I think is crap is the stance that the military will cease to exist.
They will always do the best they can with what they have.
My point is that the equipment that has been aquired by the infantry in the last few years is excellent.
They need to get their regular army numbers up...to prevent burnout.
In former Yugoslovia the majority of Canadians are reservists.

The helicopter debacle is horrible....we need better air and sea transport...which is being worked on.

The big thing is the public is just getting used to accepting we have a killing army. Too many years of government neglect.

Many Canadians most likely don't want to know that it was a PPCLI sniper that set the word long distance kill record in Afghanistan.

Just remember, if it wasn't for the USA, our country wouldn't have united the French and English like they did. Even now, we are joining together in our stance against US Foreign policy, and it is helping to re-unite the French and English, and re-kindle our ties.

[WACF]

At $21 billion in 2000, U.S.-Canada trade in energy is the largest U.S. energy trading relationship in the world. The primary components of U.S. energy trade with Canada are oil, natural gas, and electricity. Canada is the United States' largest oil supplier and the fifth-largest energy producing country in the world. Canada provides about 16% of U.S. oil imports and 14% of total U.S. consumption of natural gas. The United States and Canada's national electricity grids are linked and both countries share hydropower facilities on the Western borders.

[WACF]

Stolen from same site....

The U.S. is Canada's largest foreign investor; at the end of 1999, the stock of U.S. direct investment was estimated at $116.7 billion, or about 72% of total foreign direct investment in Canada. U.S. investment is primarily in Canada's mining and smelting industries, petroleum, chemicals, the manufacture of machinery and transportation equipment, and finance.

Canada is the third-largest foreign investor in the United States. At the end of 1999, the stock of Canadian direct investment in the United States was estimated at $90.4 billion. Canadian investment in the United States--which includes investment from Canadian holding companies in the Netherlands--is concentrated in manufacturing, wholesale trade, real estate, petroleum, finance, and insurance and other services.

Big Train....is foreign investment what you refer to as foreign aid or am I guessing wrong?

[Big Train]

Where to start on this. First off, Angel and I have been going back and forth on this and my aim is to show her how shortsighted (which she usually is) her "shut off the taps" comments are. The nature of our relationships are far more complex than that and in order to "shut off the taps" all of what you just cited would go out the window. Whether you want to call it trade or aid, same difference really. We buy from you so as not to use up our own supply. We could just as easily buy more from other countries.

The military thing, how do you guage it since it is an indirect cost? The only way I can guage is to estimate what you guys would ACTUALLY need to defend a country your size and subtract it from how much we spend annually (which obviously protects you...NORAD alone is billions).

Most of them probably don't need either, they could capture a freighter and land right in NY or Boston harbor. Rumor has it, that's what the terrorists are actually trying to do because Mexican immigrant workers really don't like terrorists anymore than you or I. Nor does the RCMP.

But living near Buffalo, NY and "the Peace Bridge," I am well aware how important trade with Canada is. If you don't believe me, come to Buffalo some time and pull over on the Rte. 198 and watch the backup of tractor trailers that sometimes occurs on a Monday morning.

I visited Canada once and stayed at the apartment of an Iranian-Canadian. He told me about the missiles he heard landing near him during the Iran-Iraq war. They have another name for Canada: "Canadistan." :)

There are tons of Muslims (his family was Christian in Iran) in Canada, it's similar to the UK in that fashion.

why would we need an army , if we don't get involve in war there is nothing to fear, the image of canada is respected troughout the whole wide world!

Have to agree with you there BT. If the schoolyard taught us anything, it's that the weak will be prayed upon ALWAYS. Being nice doesn't mean jack shit. You either fight back and win or you kowtow. Canada is in the enviable position of being friends with the biggest bully in the yard.

You fucking retarded french canadian, listen...We do business with most countries in the world. Some we sell more to, some we sell less too. As your particular country does a lot of business with us fine. We don't "Owe" you shit. We "buy" from you as you do from us. We could buy from elsewhere as well. Simple economics for a simple guy...

Now as to my previous posts, I guess your choosing to ignore what I am saying. I'm going to assume you are one of the lesser Canadians (as not to offend some on this board with some intelligence) and your understanding of the military and economic concepts I have tried to convey have gone right over you.

Franksters, you motherfucking retard..

Trade Deficit
Annual amount spent by U.S. individuals, companies, and government agencies on foreign-made products, minus the amount spent by foreign entities on U.S.-made products.

This isn't a fucking DOLLAR AMOUNT we owe you, it is the amount of money MORE that we spend on your goods and services than you spend on yours..

Still working on that high school diploma I see, you fucking moron..

[franksters]

So about your national deficit, it doesn,t exist???

so bt educate me, in every economical newspaper I see they mention that usa is in debt way past their eyeball....

to me if you import more than you export : you owe! but maybe I'm wrong?

You are absolutely wrong. Read my previous post, it's right there.

If you want to shift the argument (how liberal) and talk about our national debt, yes we do owe a lot of money, but so what? Are you looking for points, like America can't handle money, but great Canada can? Fuck off...

Go read a economics book, then come back and try to have an intelligent conversation.
