Canada & The United States: Bizarre Borders Part 2 - YouTube
That's pretty cool Gary.
Did you see that small lake that the USA stole from us? ...Yes, they went around that lake (rectangle) to claim that lake as their own! What a bunch!
Also, I live in the USA; if you account for a straight line cutting my Island!
Anyhow, it is quite remarkable. ...We the human race are a very strange animal species indeed. :derf:
* Are we using our brain to its full potential? ;)
I knew you would respond to that post!
BTW, we didn't steal any freaking lake from you ---- IT'S OURS. :lol:
Yeah, you guys can't even draw a straight line! :D
That's HILARIOUS!Quote:

That's awesome !!! How the states got their shapes is one of my favorite shows. Very interesting. How weird to live in the us and have to travel through Canada to get to school in the us. I think Canada should take over this areas it's too weird.
No, if the Canadian government put his hand on that the Senate is sure to be abolished! :D
...And Quebec will separate from the rest of the country this time, certain!
Well if you did that maybe my taxes would go down...heheQuote:

Interesting quote on Quebec , I'm guessing they want out?
Yes, with that new charter of values. ...They are afraid by the Middle-East people taking over the entire country.Quote:

I thought the Quebec secession issue was resolved 15 years ago. It wasn't?
Gary, the new wave is the brand new charter of values; google it to learn more about it. ...It's a terrible thing, and I am strongly opposed to it.
It won't become law anyway; people won't allow it.
The Quebec government (PQ) thinks that they are exceptional people, with a unique and superior identity (culture),
and tried real hard for many years now (and still) to separate from the rest of Canada.
This new charter of values is another attempt towards that eventual direction, again!
They are testing the public, and trying to call new elections coming soon in order to form a majority government.
It's a tactic that is backfiring already.
But the BC government (Liberal) ain't any better. They are discriminatory towards the Chinese and Muslim people.
Plus they don't respect the right of their workers (WCB).
Anyway, I'm thinking of moving out of my igloo and to the USA in a tepee, with the Indians of the mountains.
Bob, I looked up "secessionist movements in Canada" and it seems everybody wants to secede and form their own country!
Independence is more the term I believe.
Just like Poutine who says that everyone on this planet is equal, but no go for gay people to be at the Olympics.
Did I get his game right?
While the charter of values is wrong. I do have a problem with people hiding behind veils.
There are five main points in that charter; four of them most people agree with, but one of them they don't (veils).Quote:

I'm very sad about this PQ government; this is a very sick idea, and they'll lose many votes, including the ones of all my family and friends over there. Next elections they'll vote NDP, or Liberal (Trudeau?!!), but certainly not PQ.
Anyway, I'd rather talk about that very funny border line between Canada and USA. :) ...Good one Gary! :exciting:
EDIT: You don't like people hiding behind veils? ...And why not? At least they are hiding on the open, and not underground like some others do.
Are you above or below the 49th parallel?
Check the map Gary, and look at Victoria, on Vancouver Island.
I'm supposed to be a USA citizen if that border line was straight, but they banned (rejected) me and pushed me farther north, in Canada, inside an igloo. :D
According to the map of the planet Earth, I live in Oregon! ...And I'm black! :D
