Does anyone know her web site address(es)? I don't see anything published there.

Living on the border, I'm also very worried. Maybe we need to stop electing him. Elizabeth May is in my riding and that's who I voted for. I've never voted that Fascist.

I am very aware of this ceremonialism, but I'm not sure what your point is. I know Alex Jones likes to pretend that the Queen is deeply involved in controlling our affairs. Sorry, but Alex is wrong on this one. Do you honestly believe the Queen gives a flying puck whether or not our politicians...

By "way back when" I meant the 70's. My reference was to the singing of God of Save the Queen back in elementary school (the 70's for me). I was trying to explain that ties used to be stronger back in those days as the parents of my generation were born British subjects, not Canadian citizens in...

There's much bigger fish to fry. The monarchy is a dream compared to Canada Revenue Agency. That is the true slave master, the ball and chain, the tyrant of all tyrants. We need a Ron Paul here.

It doesn't happen here now either. I'm going back a few years ;-). My mother was born as a British subject in Canada as Canadian citizenship didn't even exist until 1947, so ties to the Queen were much stronger way back when.

Do you mean God Save the Queen? Had to sing it every morning in elementary school. Eventually, it was dropped along with the Lord's Prayer.

I completely agree. The royalty is to most Canadians what the Kardashians are to Americans - a novelty and mildly entertaining.

I am well aware of that law and can think of only one person who has ever been charged and convicted under that law, Ernst Zundel, holocaust denier, thanks to the strength of the lobbying group, Canadian Jewish Congress . The poster stated was that there is "NO freedom of speech" in Canada...

Not sure how you are defining socialism, but Canada spends about 3% more as a percentage of GDP on social programs than the USA. That's it. No freedom of speech or association? News to me and our Constitution. Not that those pieces of paper mean much anymore be it north or south of the border.

Outstanding foreign policy? Our Prime Minister is a Zionist and "will defend Israel at any cost". We dropped bombs on Libya, are in Afghanistan and are part of NATO. It is a myth that Canada is a socialist country. While we have socialized health care insurance like the rest of the world, the...

And the northern border from North Dakota to the Pacific Coast.

Not mentioned in the list is attempting to use a cell phone at the border. I almost had a gun pulled on me last time I tried that by DHS.

The sales tax sucks and being an employee also sucks. Owning your own business is the way to go and significantly reduces your overall tax burden. Everyday I am amazed at why anyone would work for someone else here.

That type of symbolism is pretty typical today, whether it's Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Lana Del Rey ... Nothing new there.
