The BNP is a true political party, and it's not a lawless bunch of the thugs as the media like to make it out to be. Their policies are controversial as they wish to deport 100% of the Asylum Seekers that fail in application (at the current it is 4%) and they wish to deport most of the 'Asylum Seekers' already in the country.

Being French-Canadian it would be no problem for them if over here on Vacation or if have the proper papers to be in Britain. Please don't get the wrong idea about them, as most of the "Asylum Seekers" are African, Middle-Eastern or East European. And this country is too small to be housing them all in such large numbers. This is what the BNP stands against.

Was the question of this topic not "Which theater of War Would you choose for flying?"

I would choose to be in the African Theater because aside from the pacific and the European theaters there was alot of land and when you had to bail out there was actually land there instead of landing on liquid water

Hmmm... Not a good idea... The province of Québec is already starting to looks like Haiti (politically, I mean). We don't need their population.

By the way, may any of you tell me if they know ANY old French colonies that didn't ended in a dictatorship ?

Canada is not a dictatorship and it was at one time more French then English, sadly they just did not want to stay and exploit everything they could from the land as the English did and as Americans do now, we learned well.

As for Quebec, they are a breed apart and can be amusing at times. But I think they will always be part of Canada.

Dan -Europe had lots of land to fall into! Africa had lots of hot desert and sand to get lost in with out a lot of Water

Only something I want to point out...

I never said that Canada was a dictatorship, I said that the Province of Québec was on its way to become one... We saw it during the "Crise d'Octobre" in the 70s, when the FLQ murdered a federal minister. And we can still see it with some f*cking searatists like Bernard Landry (or the "Reich Führer", as nicknamed by federalists), leader of the "Parti Québécois" or Pierre Falardeau and a guy named Villeneuve, both members of the old FLQ.

Thanks Meastro. Now more on topic, why not fly for Poland in 1939
To face all that is overwhelming and then maybe escape to England and keep on flying!

I would like to point out that England beat France in Canada but let them stay. Why, I will never know.

Flying for Poland in 1939. Obselete plane, out-numbered, out-classed...yes, sounds like a joy.

I always thought it would be cool to fly night-fighter escort duty. It must of been fantastic to be up there in the black, flying by instruments, looking at the stars.

Or maybe a dive bomber like the Stuka, heading straight down at 90 degrees... That would have been some ride.
