To quote the immortal Custer "These Sioux's are killing me."

Just thought I would throw this in on the discussion.

Positive thought for the day!

When you feel nobody loves you,
Nobody cares for you,
Everyone is ignoring you,
and people are jealous of you
You should really ask yourself...

AM I TOO SEXY?

You guys are nuts! This is what I love about this place. Right in the middle of a good heated argument, someone throws in the dangdest humor! Ha

Thanks!

that wasn't really very heated. you oughta be in an arena where two teams of sixteen year olds are playing hockey. between the boys, dads and coaches the temp rises. but the worst has to be the mothers.

my two boys are out of hockey but sure had some good times with that. one time i had to escort my older boy to the dressing room because there were two fathers from the other time out to get him. you might say his on ice personality was a little abrasive that year.

I saw some pure hockey today-two novice teams went end to end for 60 minutes-my daughters team lost 6-5 but it was a barnburner.

the pre-novice and novice is the most fun to watch. by the end of novice the parents are getting delusional and the fun starts to go out of it.

I've heard from people older than me that there was an agreement signed between I believe it was 'Eisenhower and Pearson' back in the 50's that gave Canada US protection in exchange for us abolishing our military aerospace program, which was superior to the US program at that time. After that meeting, Canada became 'Peace Keepers' instead of a proactive military force. That's just what I've heard so don't ask me to prove it, but it makes sense in alot of ways.


Lets see Canada has given up their military responsibilities and most of their industries including their beef industry to the US- now they've learned how to sue... They might as well petition for statehood.....

I really don't understand how it's the U.S.A.'s fault that Canada had BSE and had to close the border to protect ourselves... I guess that we should be able to sue Japan, and anybody else that won't let us export to them.... I really don't see as to why we should have to cater to the BS caused by looking out for ourselves... there's a little bit of difference between manufactured goods and live animals and that's what NAFTA fails to recognize and what this lawsuit fails to recogonize, it's part of the industry that we're in....

Oldtimer-"They might as well petition for statehood....."

It wouldn't bother me OT!!!! Us Western/rural conservatives have been screwed by the eastern/urban liberals for so long, that even if we did get screwed by joining the USA, at least it would be a CHANGE!!! Wink

As far as the aerospace thing goes, something odd happened in the '50's but I'm not sure exactly what. The Avro Arrow program was scrapped and Canada ended up buying some American made fighter jets shortly after.Do a google search on "Avro arrow" if you are interested. This was well before my time!!!

Guess we should sue for all the years lost to blue tongue and what ever else they thought we had.
