Them's fightin' words...

Pudem up Pudem up

Junk in the trunk.

Broad hips. That may come across as a bit of a stereotype bit it is quite noticeable.

It's all the fault of the bloody Romans....all of it!

True. What did the Romans ever do for us?

Recall that Mr. Harper told off the US ambassador not once but twice during the election. I don't think a Harper - Bush relationship will be much warmer, since the US attitude is that it doesn't have friends it only has interests. Harper is already beginning to see this. The Martin - Bush relationship was supposed to be warm too, but it didn't turn out that way. No country is "friends" with the US administration these days.

Like I said, the US and Canada are growing apart as societies.

You are right about one thing though; the US and Canada are not getting further apart geographically.

Have you an example ?

Actually, when it comes to fat asses, Canada comes about third after the US and Britain.

It's not a fat issue.

I will agree that there are plenty of extremely fat people in the USA and Canada. I'm prepared to believe that there are lots of obese people in the UK, although I think it must be a regional thing. I've just spent the best part of three weeks in the SE of England and I really didn't see all that many fat people. Not young ones, anyway. Nor in Spain or Italy, where I also was.

Canadian hip has less to do with fat and more to do with bone structure. It's to do with girls that are generally quite slim but have hips that can take out a door frame.

Sure, I have lots of them beyond what I have already stated:

That's not an example, that's four links to the same book, which was published yonks ago. iirc, the central thesis of that book was that the views of the Liberals in Canada were incompatible with those of the neo-cons in the US. The Liberals have since been unelected so relations should be better now.

Okay, but on the fat ass issue I raised, Canada is better than I thought.

Rankings for the fattest countries:

1) USA (surprise)
2) Mexico
3) Britain
4) Slovak Republic
5) Greece (too much greasy food)
6) Australia

Canada isn't even mentioned:

Presumably they intended "USA" to include Canada.

No, it wasn't about references to the same book - look again.

I have never heard the leader of a major political party tell the US ambassador to Canada off like Harper has - that doesn't make for a warm relationship. Harper first told David Wilkins to stay out of Canada's election and then he told him off about how the PM gets his mandate from the people of Canada rather than from the US ambassador.
