Country: | That's because they earned it the hard way. They made a stand for their independence, while we just kinda took it bit by bit over a much longer period. Like we've discussed before, we still have official (though entirely ceremonial) ties to the British Crown too. With us it's like "The maple leaf forever!" and "God save the queen!" all at the same time. Then throw in the French sovereigntists for good measure. No wonder we're so damn f*cked up. 
Anyhoo, God bless America and all of you American type people. Ya seem to be doing a fair job of it so far.  | |

We were the ones who remained loyal to King George III while the Yanks were shooting at redcoats. Ever heard of the Empire Loyalists? They were anyone from the southern colonies (that would become the US) who remained loyal to the Crown, and they took refuge in Upper Canada and Nova Scotia for the most part. Our independence from Britain came gradually through diplomatic means, not revolution. Quote: |

I think our Western brother is mistaking Independence and responsible gouvernment. The lone rebellion Canada ever had against the British Empire was the Patriots' rebellion of 1837-1838. And it was the biggest failure in the history of Canadian warfare.
Sh*t ! 200 or 300 of underarmed rebels against three or four complete companies of redcoats. And we were supposed to win against them ? Yeah, sure !

Country: | Ah yes. Louis Joseph Papineau, the great grand daddy of the seperatist movement, and William Lyon Mackenzie, a drunken Scotsman. The great Canadian rebellion. I'd actually forgotten about that. What a farce. Good to see things don't change much. | |
