Which is why I question an OP who's not only not in Minnesota but not even in the United States. Which is the first (1st) thing I noted here.
Fucking DUH.
I am a member of a few forums, including a Canadian one where believe it or not they hate me much more than on here and attack me ruthlessly, I am entertained by it. They hate that I openly tell them I am being screwed by the police in Canada and wish for me to be silent. Another irony, I get along very well with all of the American members of the board, save for one. I have healthy debates with them and had one American stand up for me strongly for my right to speak, he also told me that my experiences reflect extremely poorly on Canada, he couldn't imagine it would happen in America without consequences. I have had some private messages of support and respect that I believe in liberty, I'm not some docile, knee bending coward.
Americans, like the French and Brits, are more open to debate and fact finding. You built your country fighting an aggressive force that engaged in diabolical tactics to try and make America submit. You have been fighting for liberty, your first and second amendment forever, Due Process, Rule of Law. You openly question federal agencies, something that rarely happens in Canada and certainly not in the lengths Americans go. So, call me an American who isn't an American who happens to live across the border.
I was first called an American in 1984 during the Los Angeles Olympics when as a kid I rooted or Americans to win gold (when I wasn't rooting for Canada). One of my Aunts said "Americans know they are going to win anyways, they thump their chests" and I thought to myself, "so, why not?". I was always competitive in sports, though a good loser. I never rubbed it in peoples face, but I never thought someone winning for their country should be shy about it. I respect winners and also those who aren't happy with their results and drive themselves to be better. You might lose, but you improve. Even if you lose, you win in my eyes. This is the America I remember and I feel you and much of The West have lost 30 years.
Trump is cut from the cloth of Reagan. He might not speak the same, he might be even more unconventional, but many of his beliefs are the same. I hope that not only does he succeed, but that he influences Canada, and the next president to focus on economy winning, not focusing on division and micro aggression.
Cool story bro, eh?
I don't think you're "not some docile, knee bending coward"; I think you're an impostor troll pretending to be a Canadian in some sick role-play so you can come off as a "credible outside source". Probably sitting in Kansas or somewhere. Maybe even Minnesota and you can't admit it.
Honestly I laughed at that one, and I understand your thinking. I was born and live in Toronto. Ask me some Canadian questions, I'll answer them fast. Maple Leaf stars of the past? Mats Sundin number 13, Doug Gilmour #93. The Joe Carter HR against Wild Thing in the World Series in '93? Dave Winfield in 1992? Go ahead, ask away
How do you spell the word that means somebody who lives next door to you?
Bwahaha
Neighbour
Thats neighbor for you
Too late. Already busted you on that earlier.
