There's no better viewpoint on a situation than a neighbour.
Sure, the neighbour can be a hate filled wannabe etc., etc.
But a neighbour can also provide information no others can
Never mind any of that.
The general consensus of Canadians/the world is there is a
huge shit show to the south and it's not Mexico
Mexico has an excuse in century old poverty.
America, the benefactors of wars dodged, and
slave labour is now crumbling in it's own filth and ignorance
SHUT THE FUCK UP DWAINQuote:

but because the non-sense you spouted may influence some other similarly uninformed i am going to comment on one thing
you claim America sat out the start of 2 world wars...but did you ever think to ask why Canada, Austrialia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, India fought in those wars from the start? its because those places belonged to the British Colonial Empire/Commonwealth and enjoyed trade benefits by membership, so it was those countries obligation to fight in order to maintain those economic benefits...the US did not belong, so no obligation to give up usa lives to benefit a system usa was excluded from (the usa had its own colonial, corporate led empire btw -- in central america and the south pacific)...it was only when Germans & Japan became a threat to the usa (attacks on US shipping & the Zimmerman telegram & Pearl Harbor) the US public supported war
study some history and do some thinking
make up any story you like......it does not ring true to those who fought and diedQuote:

and you're rotting from within
oh btw, yes we are a part of what is called the Commonwealth.
We were not forced to enter a conflict that resulted in great loss both physical and monetary
Your country will be China in 10 years.Quote:

In a way this is a good thing. If you were as strong as you think you are, the world really would be fucked.
Reality check...Canadians move to the US in droves, not the other way around.
Even Canadians know the truth...it’s the land of no opportunity.
Canada needs to import people from shit holes to fill in the gap unfortunately it’s the educated that bail.
90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US...must be a coincidence and Also that Canada is cold AF.
Wig, the US sat out the first couple of years of each war for good reason.Quote:

So if you aren't compelling your men to fight, it didn't seem that serious to people in the USA--you haven't used all of your available resources so why should the US do any of your fighting for you?
Britain entered the war because if feared a German victory over France would result German domination of Western Europe--you were protecting your long-term interests, the members of you empire/commonwealth followed you to protect their interest in your mercantile system, a system that the US was not a partner in.)..so the US saw no threats to any of its interests until sinking of US shipping & the Zimmerman telegram. The US entered in April 1917, and began conscription in May 1917 (three months before Canada.)
At that time the US had a large element of German & Irish ancestry in the lower classes--the classes from which the fighting men would be drawn---Britain was not popular with either group. Conscription had to used in the US (Also in Canada, because the French Canadian generally refused to enlist--they didn't like the British or Canadian English either).
As for WW2, how you British & French mishandled the peace treaty pretty much guaranteed WW2 would come along. Most Americans saw getting involved in Europe again would be stupid after how the peacemaking was bungled. So before the US entered, Roosevelt made Churchill agree to the Atlantic Charter, a list of conditions that would be included in peace terms after the war ended. And even then, the US deferred entry, knowing that the British word is not often honored--as was the case when the British lied to the Arabs during WW1 about Lebanon. Indeed, Churchill started trying to recast the agreement shortly thereafter under political pressure. So still, it took something really dramatic, Pearl Harbor, to change the public opinion to support going to war--indeed, most men enlisting in December 1941 wanted to fight the Japanese, with no thought of fighting in Europe
You'd be wise to complain about Stalin-led-Russia being allied with Germany until mid-1941, all the while know Russia & Germany would eventually fight, but first Stalin wanted Germany to exhaust itself fighting France & England.
