Is Montreal Unique Among Canadian Cities?

In summary: I do like the fact that drinking age is 19.In summary, Montreal is similar to other Canadian cities in that it has a high smoking rate, has low taxes, and is not as hip hop popular as other cities.

MAYBE you should just shut up, cause whatever you say isn't getting either of us anywhere

check this quote out, from a "Canadian hero", our 1st French-Canadian Prime Minister:
"You must not take the Militia seriously, for though it is useful for suppressing internal differences, it will not be required for the defence of the country, as the Monroe Doctrine [proclaiming US military hegemony in the Americas] protects us against enemy aggression." - Wilfred Laurier, PM 1896-1911



isn't that the most pathetic thing you've ever heard? Laurier inviting an American invasion if we get invaded. & this is one of the "good guys" in Canadian history...

Yeah, really. Get your own military.

what small government? Bush has been giving out huge subsidies to the military contractors, which is indirectly a huge subsidy to high-tech industry, biggest deficit ever by a long shot, telling gays/lesbians they can't get married, etc etc. that's all big-government stuff. i don't know where Americans get the idea that they've got small government... :confused:

Please reread the post. I was specifically talking about my local (town)government. :rolleyes:

If the US is so great, why does everyone complain?

I'm not complaining. :smile: The one's complaining are probably looking for a handout.

There are more people trying to get into this country than trying to leave, what's that tell ya.

well I think you should get sent to a psychiatric prison for thinking that. i wonder if you agree with (defence minister) bill graham, who thinks NAFTA should be expanded to include social policy. i wonder how you would like it if we had the KKK (currently a terrorist organisation) & NRA & gun nuts everywhere :rolleyes:


You're right about Canada being absorbed economically and politically though, as Clayton Yeutter predicted in 1987, but it's not like it can't be reversed.

Jeeez! maybe I do have tumor on my brain? what was I thinking. :blushing:
Yeah! right! Canada does not have racist freaks,just go for a ride 50 miles out of any big city and you see racist yahoos and hillbillies (not with guns I agree) but with baseball bats.
By the way our social policy is slowly dismantled to conform to the USA "standarts".

sure we have our racist and what not freaks, but you hardly ever hear of hate crimes, mostly its just people joking about other races, we don't take it as far as you do.
now why doesn't the US just change its name to Canada, we already engolf you in our enormous size(it makes as much sense as what you stated)
and more people are trying to get in america because they are filled with the false sense that it will sop there misery, so they sell everything they own, move there, in a matter of months are broke and can't leave because they have no money to go back, I've heard many testamonies

Alright let's take it easy guys.

Let's get back on topic.

Note: I'm an idiot just like everyone else, so let's drop it now. I don't want a flame war.

EDIT: Montreal is the international comedy centre. All the top stand-up comedians got there. When I say international, I mean comedians from all over the world. Most people think this refers to the people they heard about, but that is not the case here. You get Irish people making Irish jokes, etc...
