ryoder 1,590 #1 August 6, 2013 Looks like the US just annexed Canada, Mexico, and all of Central America. Could it be most of those 13 events occurred *outside* of the US, but in North & Central America? http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/canada-mexico-united-states-identified-homeland-during-senate-192128693.html"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

NorrinRadd 0 #2 August 6, 2013 The US already has such close ties with Canadian law enforcement and military it may as well say it.Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #3 August 6, 2013 At least 2-3 of these 13 events occurred in Canada. Maybe more, who knows. It would be naive of Canadians to think that the US government isn't spying on Canada like they do in the US. The only difference between Canada and the US is that Canadian's heads split in two when we talk. Other than that, there is little difference. Mexico? That is another story. But up here in Alberta Canada (one of the few places where the economy is still doing reasonably well), I hear more Spanish being spoken on the streets than ever before. Obviously not as many Latinos here yet as in many US states, but they are coming. Of course as long as they are willing to work and not sponge off of the system, I have no problems with the Spanish speaking peeps. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #5 August 6, 2013 QuoteRelative to many countries, pretty much all of Canada is doing well economically. This is true, but are you seeing more and more Latinos where you live? I hear more Spanish being spoken here than ever before and as I said, I have no problem with the Latinos immigrating here just as long as they are here to work (which more often than not, they do have good work ethics) than here to sponge off of the system. I have a friend who lives in Madrid and Spain's economy is in the tank. I tell her she should immigrate to Canada but she has two concerns about this. One: she would be leaving friends and family behind if she did come here. Two: she is concerned that her English is not good enough. But then I tell her, every day I hear more and more Spanish being spoken here. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #6 August 6, 2013 Is it possible that it was just a bad graph? Did the 13 events include exclusively US events and discount events in Canadia and south of the border? I doubt it, but I'd like to know before I lambast them.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,590 #7 August 6, 2013 I've seen no details about the cited events until this graph which really only breaks them out by continent."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Bolas 5 #8 August 6, 2013 CanuckInUSA Of course as long as they are willing to work and not sponge off of the system, I have no problems with the Spanish speaking peeps. Might want to change that to "work legally." It's when people are in a country illegally and working under the table that the problems startStupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
