Canadian History in 2 min

[MenwithHill]

Somehow, Canada could be called "Club of British and French ex-colonies of North-North-America".

[Tonyshawnw]

if the prairies were full before ontario and the rest of the eastern parts why are we the last for everything? or has the PM forgotten about us?

[macdaddylorenzo]

Canada doesn't start in 1867.

It was named Canada during Cartier's second voyage, in 1535.

When the song O Canada was written and first sung, in 1880, people who called themselves Canadiens had been living here since 1608 - they had been Canadiens, living in what they called Canada, for 272 years. 1867 actually wasn't even much of a significant year for them. Confederation or not, they still would've kept calling themselves Canadiens and their land Canada.

[toonmag50]

Very interesting and informative-perhaps thats why most people still watch TV.

Anyone viewing this ,with the intention of learning anything-forget it-its a load of teenage visual bollocks.

[Ian74263]

Vous déportation des Acadiens. Vous avez tourné Africains en esclaves et les ont tués. Vous volé les Allemands de leur langue. Vous violé et tué les Indiens et les mettre dans les écoles de concentration. Vous interdit les catholiques français, irlandais, italiens et écossais, le droit de culte. Les Britanniques n'aurait jamais dû venir ici, et nous a laissés seuls.

[cauliflowerinparis]

Kinda forgot giving Alaska to the US

[balios1]

@cauliflowerinparis

Russia sold Alaska to the US in 1867, it never belonged to Canada.

[lukacsgilmore]

I like that you used a bilingual anthem rather than just English or French. However, you missed the Ensign between the one you showed and the Maple Leaf.

[lukacsgilmore]

I like that you used a bilingual anthem rather than just English or French.

[ThomKiller]

Quebec Power !!!

[MrIndianSupporter]

Canada has no right to this land.

[komplex71]

@MrIndianSupporter we fought our way here, and beat usa at the time so we have every right here

[MrIndianSupporter]

@komplex71 Fucken white people only know how to fight and kill. you'll are such ignorant bastards.

[MrIndianSupporter]

@komplex71 Just remember this is not your land. When we are strong enough we will kill every white person on this land.

[cumbco]

@MrIndianSupporter Just stop with all "This is our land" bs!! Do you know human history? Every race of people has lost land to someone else at sometime...Natives are no exception! Natives also stole lands from each other before any European stepped foot on this soil!

Isn't it true before European's came here, the thought of owning land was foreign to you? It only became an issue when Native people realized owning land could make you rich!!

[MrIndianSupporter]

OK Fuck all this. All white people should return to Europe quickly. Get the fuck off this continant all you white pigs.

[Woodzy1803]

@MrIndianSupporter well then im wondering who you are? im assuming your white, or if not, then another immigrant. The only people with the right to say that are the natives, and your obviously not one of them, as you own a computer.

[MrIndianSupporter]

@Woodzy1803 Natives own more that a computer they own this land you savages are occupying. White people's days are numbered. The human rights organization is constructing museums across North America and the world to display the shameful atrocities adult white people committed against little Indian children. Residential Schools.

[Woodzy1803]

@MrIndianSupporter well, i wasnt a part of that, so what do you want me to do? You should be smart enough to realize that even if for some miraculous reason, all "white" (im asian) people left, that the natives still wouldnt be able to return to their former lifestyle. Its just not possible in this modernized world.

[komplex71]

@MrIndianSupporter well i am asuming your native, let me tell you something. my mom is a phoster mom(that means she takes care of abadend children until they find a perment home)we have had 5 kids liveing with us through the years and geuss what, there all native, im not hating on them, there the light in my day but if us whites are so terible how come you natives are fuck ups?

[MrIndianSupporter]

@komplex71 Find out what is the root cause of natives being so fuck up as you bastard have put it. Right now natives are healing and you whites better get ready for your worst nightmare when natives get their life in order. By nature whites are very stupid and slow in learning and it is for this reason whites try to oppress non whites.

[komplex71]

@MrIndianSupporter all i know is your a fuck up and i am going to uvic(university)

[MrIndianSupporter]

@komplex71 I will be teaching you dumb white fuck head. I teach white people to use a computer at my work place and they are so fucken stupid they are unable to find therir asshole with they hands tied behind their back. hahaha! White people make cunts of youself. Make some porn for us to enjoy.

[komplex71]

@MrIndianSupporter lol why do i care that you are sucking some white guys dick at work.

[MrIndianSupporter]

@komplex71 I am kicking white people ass at work. I have been fired for hurting the white peoples ego by teaching the ignorent pigs how to use the computer.

[komplex71]

@MrIndianSupporter dued i dont care that you have a shitty job

[MrIndianSupporter]

@komplex71 Hey white trash! I am a Stru. Engineer. and I teach white dumb fuckes to use the software. Thank God you whites are so stupid. It our time to shine!

[kylejones7]

@MrIndianSupporter I am your employer's boss, we're going to have to talk on monday. This is highly inappropriate.

[MrIndianSupporter]

@kylejones7 White people have reached a very low level of intelligence. It's our time to shine. So fuck of white dogs.

[philbox17]

@MrIndianSupporter you are a racist scum and deserve no respect...

[MrIndianSupporter]

@philbox17 You are a fucken white hater of the non white race. Get out of this con tenant.

[philbox17]

@MrIndianSupporter my family are Métis, this is my continent. I am white and I have a native soul. I hate european imperialism and racist who judge people by the color of their skin...

[MrIndianSupporter]

@philbox17 You'll are half breed. The whites don't want you'll and the natives don't want you'll so you'll formed your own association. So fuck off.

[Ian74263]

@MrIndianSupporter Why can't you judge someone by the actions of their heart, rather than the color of their skin...

[ManOWar2Red]

@MrIndianSupporter I guess this is why most of inventions came from us and this is probably why we also dominate the planet.

[barricader6]

@MrIndianSupporter I wonder why Indians(not the black ones) have lost so much land and are treated like shit.

[ManOWar2Red]

what a failure.

like if Canada as a political entity, territory and identity of a people started in 1867.

No, first people to name themself CANADIENS we're the first borns of the first french settlers, soon in 1600's. (even late 16 century you can see canada name on french and english map)

For 250 years Canada was a french colony.

[KangaKucha]

@ManOWar2Red yep, and we should respect our french past as well as the British.

[barricader6]

North West territories keeps shrinking.

[Nirmajek]

you forgot to show how was Canada before the English invaded...

[KangaKucha]

i like how the song tries to dumb down the religous references in oh canada, good work :)

[ManOWar2Red]

@KangaKucha the original version is much better thought, the french version do not mention god directly, but mention '' Il sait porter la croix'' (he knows how to wear the cross)

[KangaKucha]

@ManOWar2Red yeah, and that's awful, don't you think? idk what you can do to sub it though.

[KangaKucha]

who sings the national anthem? sounds like lara fabin, but she is belgium isnt she?

[c3dr1cb]

@KangaKucha yes she is belgium

[KangaKucha]

@c3dr1cb well, Belgium does have a great political federal system now that I think Canada should look into using, so the more Belgium Canada gets, the better :).

[MrIndianSupporter]

O Canada our home on Native land.....

[traceyrmj2]

I'm a brit sayin' brief and good.

[PeazyG420]

Canadian history is full of prejudice, genocide, and oppression most people have no idea...

[csailus37]

American history sucks too after 14 years of having it shoved down your throat. You can only broadly cover a couple hundred years of history so many times before it gets god awful boring.

[VideosdeDomingo]

Great video! Congratulations, hope to see more Canadian history in two minutes coming...

[xxcloudxx09]

our history is boariing, i wish it was like american history, i love reading history of America, its so interesting and fascinating!!!!

[Darugon92]

@xxcloudxx09 lol american history is very short... you should read about greece or egypt

[mariash55]

learn english first

[omaaar2008]

a 300 years history ? indeed its very fascinating ...

[ManOWar2Red]

@omaaar2008 Canada was founded in 1534 by Jacque Cartier. So it's more than that actually.

[Indian0Warrior]

Canada was founded by a bunch of red coat losers. The British lost the American war of Independent and they moved north and called it Canada. O Canada our home on native land..

[kylejones7]

@Indian0Warrior you're just upset b/c your people got raped by british soldiers ;).

[ManOWar2Red]

@Indian0Warrior not really. Canada was a french colony for 250 years and was named as such. It's first people named themselfs Canadiens.

They just stole our identity and now they call us french canadian.

[Robertz1986]

This is the first version of Oh Canada I've ever heard that didn't sound like shit.

That said, get rid of the queen... or at least the king after she dies, monarchy really does you no good. She is also not powerless.

[Indian0Warrior]

You get rid of the queen and there goes the treaty too. Because the treaty is binding with the Natives and the crown of England. Take that away and all non Natives will have to get the fuck out of here or if youll want to stay on wipe every Native ass after they take a shit.

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

umm there is a french anthem and an english anthem neither of them even mention the fucking queen

[ManOWar2Red]

@Robertz1986

its because the original canadian anthem was French only. The english modified it a bit. But the french version is still the official one in the constitution.

[AJCAVA123]

God Saave the Fucking Queen in both Canada and UK. You all noobish Americans NEVER UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!! OH, BTW, Did you learn that Parts of Canada's Story was also Parts of US's Story? HUH?

[cary123]

you realize the queen has the power to dismiss parlament and declare marshal law?

Fuck the queen, fuck the us, fuck capitalism.

[AJCAVA123]

Fuck You BITCH!!! YOU MAKE CANADA MAD!!!!!!!

[cary123]

OH NOZ!!!!!!!!

[regszikora]

@cary123 Fuck you to.

[Darcksaac]

Did you know Bush held on to power with a bitchy plea even thought the Democrats owned the majority of congress and the senate? + allowed torture to take place with prisoners by sending them to Saudi Arabia or water boarding? Now that's marshal when you can't get rid of a leader even when people voted against his party. P.S. The queen dosen't have any political power, we have free health care so we're not all heartless about money and we're friends with Cuba. So STFU You're still yankee.

[cary123]

I am aganist the US to dumbass, im a communist.

[Darcksaac]

And yet you said fuck the queen as though it posed a problem and compared us the Americans. I'm just saying there's a difference between us, you're from the U.S., so don't start saying stuff about our culture that you (like many Americans) don't know about. Even if you are communist.

[cary123]

It dose and she dose have that right, I learned that from a canadain.

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

nope she can't declare marshall law she gave that right to pierre trudeau during the FLQ crisis. our second civil war

[cary123]

who serves the queen...

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

here the governer genral and she is appointed by the pm

[cary123]

shes appointed by the pm but she serves the queen.

[Indian0Warrior]

Canada is not a sovereign nation. The queen of England is the head of the Canadian Government. The Indian Nations and the Queen of England have signed treaty and this is why there can exist Canada. O Canada our home on Native land change the and to on. Natives are not Canadian.

[paulinotou]

why the hell would you choose to be communist. to be different? well as you seen communism was tried by many countries lets say soviet union where millions killed by dictators, north korea where things seem to be looking good and cuba who no one cares. thats a few countries.

[cary123]

soviet union was only socialist for about 4 years, and that wasnt communist twat, communism is the final stateless stage.

north korea is a degenerated workers state.

cuba is a socialist state that is very democratic.

[ManOWar2Red]

@cary123 its true that cuba is democratic in some way. I've been there already.

they have local eclections every months. They do not chose their head of state of their prime minister....like Canada... rofl

[cary123]

@ManOWar2Red They do in a indirect fasion, the local assemblys elect the national assemblys who elect the president and prime minister.

[AJCAVA123]

Fuck Canada being a Repuplic. It had A VERY GREAT HISTORY WITH THE UK AND QUEENS AS HoS is AWESOME!!!!!! Fuck bush and fuck Obama. CANADA FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AJCAVA123]

Where did you get the Canada Anthem so good. (BTW, I'm a Canadian, CAN WE JUST ALL FUCKING GO AND LIVE TO TOGETHER AND LIVE LIKE IT'S A FUCKING PEACEFUL DAY???)

[ManOWar2Red]

@AJCAVA123 the canadian anthem original is french. the english version has been modified a bit.

[jims08ca]

There has been recent speculation about Canada possibly being a Republic. That is hogwash! Canada has a rich and wonderful history with the UK and should always have the Queen as Head of State. She's nice, sweet, doesn't harm anyone and is more venerable than Black Obama and Bush. God Save the Queen

[irt3hnubpie]

@jims08ca fuck the queen, fuck federalism.

[Darcksaac]

Although it would be interesting to replace her with our form of a queen. That wouldn't be too bad. And we're not a republic. Republics have congress, we have parliment. Canada is a confederate dominion. ( I call it that because the dominion was created through confederation)

[Robertz1986]

A Republic is a form of government where authority comes from the consent of the governed. It is the only political ideology that is not authoritarian in nature, because all others claim that you can establish just authority over someone without their consent. Canada is a monarchy, meaning authority comes from God through the Queen, America is a Republic because of the belief that you cannot establish authority over someone without their approval. "Congress" and "Parliament" are just words.

[Darcksaac]

@Robertz1986 If you think that's how Canada works, then you're an ignorant little asshole. If you look at Canada for reel, then you'll find that we're bigger on personnel beliefs then the U.S. We make it so that the state is not above the law and we have shared that ideal with the U.N.'s decloration of basic human rights. We also seperate religion from politics. We legalised gay marriage while Bush stops it. We're #1 for refugee care. + American politics is corrupted by buisness men.

[Robertz1986]

Darcksaac, grow up and read what I wrote. What is it you find objectionable again? I said Canada is a monarchy, is this false? Has the crown been abolished while I wasn't watching?

Or do you object to the fact that I called monarchy authoritarian? Does ultimate authority rest in the hands of the people or the crown? If the crown, then it is authoritarian as it doesn't rely on the consent of the governed for authority. If it rests with the people, then you are already a Republic.

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

@Robertz1986more power rests in the hands of the people beacause she cannot prorogue parliment anymore and she singed a document that basicly said that her role as head of state became purely ceremonial and real power rests in the hands of parliment. and don't try to argue with me if you are american beacause you don't live here so you wouldent know

[Robertz1986]

Americans also have very strong individual beliefs on many subjects, and always have. We have done more to expand individual rights around the world than any other society in history. We essentially founded the UN, along with their Human Rights Charter, and it was under our direction that Western Europe was rebuilt and transformed to Democratic Republics, instead of authoritarian Fascist and Communist states. After WWII we prevented the collapse of Western civilization at its lowest point.

[Darcksaac]

@Robertz1986 1st -The U.S. was only one of over 50 countries to form the U.N. after WW2. 2nd -The charter was written by a Canadian 3rd -The American President at the end of WW1 was one of three figures reasponsible for the German economic destruction which led to Fashism during the Post War. 4th -Canada created the peace keepers that stopped the potential WW3 during the Suez crisis 5th -U.S. helped form military states in South America ex: CIA in Guatemala and Baptista in Cuba by Sumner Welles

[Robertz1986]

1st: I realize legally the UN was founded as a multilateral effort, however just like the League of Nations, it was an American proposal putting forward what at that time were seen by most as typically American ideas, backed with American money and typically American bullets, with America as its headquarters. A Canadian may have written the charter, but the very idea had been promoted more by the US than any other nation up until that point.

[Darcksaac]

Bullshit

[Robertz1986]

3: The American president in question, Woodrow Wilson, wanted to go easier on Germany than any other Allied power. The British and French insisted on harsher measures. Even the League of Nations was Wilson's idea, though it fell apart as at that time American's thought it burdensome and unnecessary to interfere in European bickering, as we were traditionally isolationist in our overseas policies (until European Monarchy, then Fascism, then Communism hoisted their problems on us repeatedly)

[Darcksaac]

Even so he did it to inforce U.K. and France to pay war dept to private American banks.

[Robertz1986]

4: Canada proposed the peace keeping effort in the Suez, but Eisenhower was the one who made it a reality. In fact Nasser, the president of Egypt at the time, gave Eisenhower credit for preventing WWIII as you put it. The US maneuvered into a position to force Britain and France to withdrawal, even going to the United Nations security council, and when they vetoed, went to the General Assembly. Eisenhower also threatened to sell off American bonds in the Sterling and helped the oil embargo too.

[Darcksaac]

The U.S. made the situation worse because Egypt was forced to go to the USSR for help and that's when when the U.S. steped in and tolled Isereal to intervein.

[Robertz1986]

Britain and France recruited Israel to invade invade Egypt and seize the Suez against US wishes. The US opposed them all and forced Israel, Britain, and France to withdrawal and proposed that a UN peace keeping force be brought in (On Canada's recommendation to us). Egypt had lost US funding because of their recognition of the Mainland China, so indirectly we had something to do with the origins, but the Suez Crisis was not our doing and in fact we prevented a war. UK had to pay us either way.

[Darcksaac]

But Canada was the only NATO country at the time that was allowed to participate in the Peace Keeping mission because of the recomendation by Lester B. Pearson. The U.S. was not part of it and he recomended it to the U.N. not U.S. He was also considered a comunist spy to Russia by the FBI if you could believe it, despite becoming U.N. assembly President and then our PM.

[Robertz1986]

Canada did propose the peace keepers to Britain and France as well as the cease-fire between Egypt and Israel/Britain/France.

In both cases, the Canadians were rebuffed, and in both cases, the United States intervened (per Canada's request) at the UN and forced it through the general assembly.

Egypt's call for assistance was to the US alone, not the Soviet Union, and the US wanted to ensure that Western nations weren't splitting while the USSR would be entering the fray if Egypt asked them.

[Robertz1986]

5: As for "forming military states" you mean we helped militarize states in Latin America to keep Communist pro-Soviet governments out during the cold war? I would make no apology for this, if the Soviet bloc had gained a foothold in the Americas, there would likely have been that WWIII you speak of, with the United States losing (which in that day and age meant the end of Western Civilization, and that is not an exaggeration as you should well know). The Communists openly sought world dominion.

[Darcksaac]

That's total bull and ignorance in itself. The president of Guademala tried to equalize land ownership because much of the farming population lost their land to more powerfull people and so he tried to balance things. Because an American fruit company didn't like the idea of giving away some of their land, made a complaint to the U.S. government with the "commi" excuse. Thanks to that the country had a military takeover. That's not justice that's privateer imperialism and undemocratic.

[Robertz1986]

If you want to nationalize industries or land, you need to pay market value to our corporations. Stealing from us is not a legitimate means of supporting your population, and the lack of respect for individual property rights does in fact render them communists. Its not imperialism, we have the absolute right to to be compensated for our properties anywhere in the world, and no government can nullify that duty. Democracy is majority will minority rights. Not protecting rights in undemocratic.

[Darcksaac]

Then do you consider the Middle Eastern States nationalising their oil despite foreing onership and forming OPEC to be communist? What about Tommy Duglas who became the first Social leader in the Americas when he got voted in Premier of prov. Saskatchewan and created Canada's first free health care system? Did all those private hospitals became gov. controled? What about our bank system? They're nationaly regulated and we're the only developed country without bank balleouts. Are we communists?

[Robertz1986]

Regulation is not the same as ownership. You can regulate for purposes of safety and quality, or for purposes of preventing monopolistic or oligopolistic purposes which harm the efficiency of the market and total economic surplus.

This is different than seizing wealth and property to enrich yourself or your population. In America, its called "a taking" if the government wants to seize private property, and laws dictate fair market value be rendered.

[Robertz1986]

As for nationalizing oil reserves, this indeed has a socialist element about it. As for Tommy Duglas, I'm not really familiar with him, but it would depend completely on the conditions. Did he seize privately run hospitals without compensation? If hospitals were compensated, or if the government actually built the hospitals or negotiated rates or that sort of thing, then its still capitalist. Social programs are not "communism", except when they rely on disregarding property rights.

[Darcksaac]

Even if the private owners monopolise and control everything on foren soil? The farmers had their rights stolen first by the previous corrupted government, just like the Middle East had enough of Americans taking advantage of them. That's exactly what happen to them. In their attempt to undo that, Their newly fair democratic system was removed and replaced with a dictatorship. (what communism is really about). U.S.'s founders must be communists because they seized land from loyalist and natives.

[Robertz1986]

In nature, everyone is free to do what they want. In a Democracy we choose to sacrifice some of our absolute individual freedom, under the pretense we will all benefit from it. For instance, by forfeiting your ability to kill at random, you are guaranteed the right not to be killed at random, and so on and so forth. This is the basic concept of "social contract". A voluntary arrangement of society that we all consent to not interfere with other people and they should not interfere with us.

[Robertz1986]

By establishing a social contract, you create rule of law by which both the people and the state agree to be bound by certain duties to the other under the pretense this is advantageous to everyone. You are perfectly within your rights to renege at any time, for instance on the subject of murdering people, but at that point society has a self-defense right to prevent you from harming other citizens. I would argue this right is defense based, not punishment based though.

[Robertz1986]

In principle, though not always in practice, we have rejected "authoritarianism". In its broadest form that is any form of government based on the idea of "authority" as emerging from some source other than the consent of those who you mean to govern. This is why we traditionally take great offense to concepts such as "Universal Jurisdiction" and the United Nations when it tries to start setting up shop as some sort of international government with actual authority beyond an international club.

[Robertz1986]

When it comes to our business dealings around the world, we don't just wander into foreign nations. We make treaties and trade deals with nations, and have them stamp passports (by going to a foreign nation, you temporarily accept all or part of their social contract, and they agree to respect all or part of your rights as if you were a citizen). What this means, is that American companies that go into countries in the Middle East or Latin America, do so with the full consent of their government

[Robertz1986]

The ramification of this, is that they are legally obliged to respect the property rights of our citizens. If they don't enjoy being "taken advantage of"(though international trade generally makes everyone better off, which is why people actually engage in it) than they can refuse our money, expertise, and physical capital from the beginning. If you accept them in, then seize their property and send them packing, its not legitimate because that is outside the terms of your agreement with them.

[Robertz1986]

If you do break this contract with a foreign nation and their citizens, you essentially terminate all previous recognitions of rights and authority, which are the substance of "sovereignty". This is why arresting an ambassador who is the physical incarnation of a sovereign state, is an "act of war". You are free to do so, and free to suffer the consequences that go with it. The trade issue is how Cuba forfeited its recognition by the United States, and why we no longer choose to associate there.

[Robertz1986]

Another ramification of sovereignty is that, as far as your own social contract permits, you are free to casually wage war against other nations, and even empire build if you want. In the case of Loyalists and Native Americans, the first were members of a different social contract, which is why there was a war, and thus we need not recognize their rights, they did the same. As for the natives, they had no rights as they were not party to our social contract and we didn't recognize their claims.

[Darcksaac]

Loyalists who were not for the Revolution but still did not take up arms against the rebels were prosecuted, had their homsteds burned and were exiled out of the colonies, 70,000 in all. We know because half of them migrated to Nova Scotia. Once again for the natives, according to your argument about Guademala, a nation didn't respect the land of foreigners and therefore is the bad guy. One could say America didn't respect the land of foreigners and that's why most of the Iroquoi opposed US

[Robertz1986]

Many patriots were executed, had their homes burned, were tortured, etc. Most of those who went to Canada did it out of choice, United Empire Loyalists, its not like we'd have hanged them if they didn't leave after the war, though their social lives would have sucked.

As for Guatemala, the point is that they agreed to respect our property rights under a social contract theory, we have never accepted the native Americans into our social contract, at least not until modern times.

[Robertz1986]

In all honesty, I feel little sympathy for the Iroquois. They attacked us on behalf of the French in the French and Indian War, they attacked us on behalf of Britain in the Revolutionary War. Washington spent a good amount of time fighting them, and I had an ancestor who died in the Continental army defending against them. They were victims, they were quite powerful and strong in the old days, and almost helped destroy our country, so my sympathy, as I said, is minimal.

[Robertz1986]

Weren't* Victims

[Darcksaac]

First of all, Those French people are my ancestors, who were defending themselves from English takeover, which eventually failed due to the British Armada, The Iroquoi were neutral with the French after the Grand Peace treaty in 1701 (they were once enemies) and the 4 Iroquoi nations that sided with the British were being forced out of their land by American colonials. So Britain promised them protection. Yeah, they went against you, but you're not understanding other people's positions.

[Robertz1986]

Quebec was not exactly a victim. The war in North America revolved around Ohio, while the world war revolved around all sorts of European intrigues. The British did try and capture Canada, but the French were trying to capture Albany and beyond.

As for the Iroquois that sided with Britain, they weren't forced out of anything, during the revolution they started burning American settlements hoping to curry favor with the British. They had their politics too, they weren't innocent bystanders.

[Robertz1986]

Sorry this is so fucking long, just read it from oldest to newest and it may make sense.

As for the matter of farmer's having their land stolen, that is an internal matter for the state in question to resolve, if the land was stolen, their government can buy it back, or pay the farmers, but they took the land, sold it, spent the money, and they are the ones who need to find the money again to pay for it. We are within our rights to bring down a government which refuses to honor our agreements.

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

nope we have a constitutionnal monarchy that means the people of canada GAVE her consent to rule over us

[Robertz1986]

@Gardenstatehomecomin

Simple question for you. Does ultimate authority in Canada in your view rest in the Queen or in the People? From the sound of it, you believe the people, which may in fact be true, but that makes you a republican and not a monarchist. If authority rests in the hands of the people in Canada you are a republic already technically speaking. I am an American, and I am perfectly qualified to speak on the subject, my BA in political science being one of those qualifications.

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

in parliment and so by extension the people the parliment has way more power over her these days we don't have to go to her to ask to pass a law.

so yes there is more power in the canadian people

[regszikora]

@jims08ca :), yes God Save the Queen. We know she is reliable

[cary123]

why dose it matter that hes black?

[jjpeterson1]

I live in Victoria , I don't like all the hypicritical vegetarians, hippies and left leaning faggot metrosexuals. We need guns to protect our homes and more civil rights. Wake up people!

[MrCaptaincanuk]

fuckin rights man although i use my guns for hunting, the liberals wasted over a billion dollars on gun registration and still hardly anyone has registered, we do not have a problem with gun control in canada, if some one uses a hand gun to rob a store chances are its not gonna be registered anyways, all u hippy city retards out there need to quit enjoying the smell of their own shit and actually find a worthy worth while cause to fight for.

[regszikora]

@MrCaptaincanuk
