Oh, and nobody gives a rat's ass about Celine Dion anyway. Beat her to death if you want, I'd sleep easily enough.
| Make sure she's dead, when she sings she sounds like an Air Raid Siren but when she's screaming in pain through her dying breath Id imagine she sounds like a Screeching Baboon.

Country: | I know why Bryan Adams said what he did, and I can understand where he was coming from. There's a rule in Canada that requires a certain high percentage of the music on the radio to be of Canadian content, and a couple of songs of his were co-written by an American named Michael Kamen and an Englishman named Robert John "Mutt" Lang. A lot of stations across the country have cut his songs in the past, or labelled it as un-Canadian because of this "foreign" involvement with his music. 
His biggest problem was over the hit "(Everything I do) I Do It For You", from the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves soundtrack.
Now how stupid is that?
Oh, and so was the War of 1812. Bad Americans! Bad! Go to your rooms, immediately! |

If I remember correctly the attack on Fort Detroit was under the command of Brock, his men set up artillery, fixed on the fort, opened fire and the Americans defending actually surrendered without any musket fire.
Brock sent many Canadians to fight on the Niagra front but we kinda got our asses kicked their.
thats not everything but sh*t thats just what comes to mind.

Country: | British regulars were naturally better soldiers than the colonial militia, so it kinda made sense for the majority of the tough stuff to be handled by them. Kudos to those militia boys for the victories they were able to pull-off though.  |

| Thats fine............that is if he was angry with Canada's Music industry, CRTC or CBC whoever the hell is responsible, be angry with them Not Canada as a whole.
Me, Im pissed off because nobody will standardise income-tax but Im not going to renounce being a Canadian over it. So with that being said, he is still a peice of ****.

Country: | I've never heard him renounce his "Canadian-ness" over it, just that he hated the Canadian music and radio industry. Big deal. Quote: |

Country: | Hey now, Nova Scotia was there too. 
It would take us another fifty years to get our wings, and another four to form a regular army. A very small one at that. |
