Canada never invades anybody first, even when we were Brits and helped to burn down the White House we didn't even think of doing such a thing until a bunch of damn yankees came up and burned down our governor's residence.

Surfpirate replies on Sep 20, 2018:

Perhaps just coffee on the first date but if you were serious about someone then I could see a quality date costing all of that $271 for dinner for two and tickets to a show. You can't see a play or the opera or a concert for less than $50 a seat so that leaves just $171 for dinner for two with a decent bottle of wine. Better than a couple of cheeseburgers I guess but not over the top either.

@Freedompath Our treatment of Japanese Canadians during WWII and German Canadians in both World Wars was far from exemplary, not to mention our treatment of Native Peoples who we are finally make some reparations to. I'm just trying to dispel the notion that some Americans have that they can just show up in Canada as though they were moving to another state, it's surprising how often I hear this although not as often as declarations that if the US runs out of water or oil they will just come and take our resources by force if necessary. The Americans may have the military might but they may be surprised just how patriotic Canadian blood can be.

Surfpirate comments on Sep 20, 2018:

I'm sure your parents didn't call you on your mobile or text you when you had to sort or be sorted by a sibling, they would just patiently wait until you got home after school to determine if further sorting was required. Trust a little and realize that you can sort it later if you need to.

Technically our role in Iraq was peace keeping and training, still is for that matter. Our official position was perhaps a little different than our unofficial role. Our leadership was also the friendly face of the US invasion of Libya and the assassination of Khadafi, but yes we have fought alongside the Americans many times, often we are in the fight before them like in the World Wars.

Canada has lots of friends, we're one of the friendliest countries on the planet, so we could afford to lose one friend if we had to but we really don't want that to happen, stick with us and we will stick with you.

You have to identify the problem in order to fix it. You can't change a government until the majority of the people are prepared to acknowledge the problem and be prepared to do something to fix it. That's what happened in 1776.

Surfpirate replies on Sep 17, 2018:

Blow back against a corrupt Liberal government that was seen to have been in power for too long and a very unpopular leader who was not only a woman but a lesbian had the conservative types just foaming at the mouth. Fear played a role too, the threat of a pinko NDP government with shades of Bob Rae's government had stupid people flocking to the populist without a platform or a budget, anyone who wasn't a lefty or a woman. I am ashamed of the people in my province and particularly in my home town of Toronto that backed Ford when they really must have known better. If I get elected in next month's municipal election I will have a long fight ahead of me defending my neighbours and fellow taxpayers on this little island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River.

He doesn't try that crap with me because I have no need for his money, happy with what I've got and live within my means, drives him crazy when his stupid games don't work on me. lol I realized a long time ago that rich people aren't smarter than the rest of us, they are just more greedy.

@Freedompath The studies that have been done comparing the correlation between wealth and happiness have consistently found $70k to be the point at which further increases in income no longer yield significant increases in happiness, greater wealth has actually been found to be isolating and the source of unhappiness as it is hard to decide if someone is liked for themselves or for their money.

I was back in Toronto in the neighbourhood I grew up in on Lake Ontario and I had a large job on the go which was bogged down in the usual day to day issues that are part of a large construction project probably a couple million ...

Going back a ways is where I find most of my music - and then it's a bunch of Canadian stuff I heard while growing up close to the border. And we're not even talking about the big exports, but acts like Harlequin, Headpins, Doucette, and Toronto. Probably gonna catch shit for this, but Streetheart's...

@TheMiddleWay To be honest, after the first couple of responses I stopped taking you seriously and have really just been taking the piss out of this exchange. Let's call it a day shall we? ;)

Okay! I have to stop walking away from my cooking as I get bored waiting for something to heat up.

Surfpirate comments on Sep 15, 2018:

I see you went to the same cooking school that my wife went to, she walks away from the stove all the time, sets the timer because that's what the fucking recipe says it will take to cook. I keep telling her that recipes are bullshit and cooking is an art as much as a science, she just keeps ...

@zorialoki I do get what you mean about the Americas, having lived in Canada, the US, Mexico, Nicaragua and Ecuador. It's just weird to hear it from an American, they are usually so egocentric about the USofA that they generally can't get their head around that concept. An American acquaintance in EC practically had a meltdown when I tried to explain this to him, he just didn't understand how there could possibly be an America outside of the US. lol

@zorialoki People are surprised to learn that they like it when they have my Margaritas, they are used to doing Tequila Shots and holding their noses because it is something in a Jose Cuervo bottle that comes in a coke bottle with no name before the bar dumps it into a Jose Cuervo bottle because people think that's the good stuff. lol

Surfpirate replies on Sep 15, 2018:

@zorialoki I tend to go easy on the contreau just because it masks the flavour of the tequila, although my margaritas do have a reputation for paralyzing people, a bit of a tightrope to walk when your guests are beer or wine drinkers for the most part. They go down so easy but getting them up off the floor can be a bit of a pickle.

@zorialoki Marginally better but not really worth the jump in price, I find if you add a little extra, good quality, gold tequila it doesn't matter, especially if the limes are fresh and the salt is pink. As for the people who think that Margaritas come in a mix from a bottle, well we just won't talk about that. ;)

@ProudMary I enjoy a drink but I abhor a drunk, probably because I usually wind up having to take care of them when they can no longer walk, drive or hold down the contents of their stomach - so annoying.

Surfpirate replies on Sep 14, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay If your perception deems me to be extremist but I haven't actually harmed myself or others then by your own criteria I am not an extremist but perhaps you just don't like strong terms, feeling more comfortable with the wiggle room that vague and political correct wording gives a person who lacks real conviction. Organized religion has a long history of institutionalized pedophilia, genocide, racism and sexism - where is the good in institutions that promote such ideals? As my father told me years ago 'If you don't stand for something, you are liable to fall for anything'. Step up or step down and get out of the way.

Surfpirate replies on Sep 14, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay I'm against delusional and dangerous thinking that endangers the public and puts others at risk, including the delusional people. The tricky bit is to determine when people have crossed the line from harmlessly mumbling at the ceiling (Xstians) or the floor (Muslims) or a wall (Jews) to radicalized fundamentalist extremism. The harmless ones are bad enough but until there is something dangerous presenting itself there isn't much to be done but to educate people against the harms of delusional, religious thinking. What good comes from religion that wouldn't come from people normally? Nothing comes to mind.

@VAL3941 Building the naval base on those atolls? Yes that is just one in a long list of steps that will be taken. Western corporations think in quarterly terms but when I did work with the Chinese they would gloss over the quarterly reports except to discuss them relative to the 50 year plan which was the stepping stone to the 300 year plan. They take long term planning to a whole new level and when they decide to collapse the US dollar it will be catastrophic to the global economy, the difference is that they will be prepared for it.

@TheMiddleWay So you meet a person on the street and they tell you all about their imaginary friend and all the rules that this imaginary friend has laid down and how the imaginary friend really doesn't like women very much and if you don't do everything this imaginary friend demands then you're gonna die; this guy might even have to act as a proxy for his imaginary friend. Do you think this person is sane? Will you comply with his insane demands because you lack the intestinal fortitude to stand up for reason and your own integrity? Maybe you can find the middle ground on that, people who are wishy washy tend to be able to find the middle ground on practically everything, even on god, I call them agnostics. I will grant you that there is a possibility of a divine being, a sentient life force so far advanced beyond anything we can comprehend as naked apes that just crawled out of the cave a minute ago in terms of the solar system we live in but I doubt it cares if we jerk off or eat pork or shrimp. Religion is a plague on humanity and as such it needs to be treated as the disease that it is, a disease of the mind. So if you can't choose the side of reason and want to fudge about in your middle ground, that's just fine but don't expect sane people to think of your position as anything but a weak compromise.
