There's no evidence that anyone in the US actually did that. The idea was discussed but we don't know that it was implemented. However, full marks for joining in with the local obsession.

I thought Canada's dirty secrets were experimenting with mentally ill people by giving them electric shock treatments in Montreal, forced sterilisations in Alberta, both relatively recent government policies, PMU mares in Manitoba and the mass import of American horses for slaughter. Of course, I'm not Inuit nor a seal.

The bloke (Amherst) who is often credited with that order was British, and very active in political bodies that would later become Canadian ones. To say he was American is a bit odd to me. IIRC, there was no Canada or USA at the time; it was British vs French vs/with 'The Indians' (in various combinations and alliances).

Shhhhhhh.... I'm telling!

Not exclusive to Canada though

Indeed not. I suppose overall governments in Canada have been about as bad as other western governments.

Christ!

Meaning ?

Have a f~ing guess

Maybe it means my remark was too banal for words. Maybe it means that no other government has ever been as evil as the Canadian ones and I'm being blasphemous in suggesting the idea.

Sorry old chap,just showing my shock at the level of nastiness of Canadian politicians, against their western counterparts

And who could ever have been worse than George W Bush, or Tony Blair?

ooh look, I gained a star

"PET", shouts varied rednecks and rubes.

Some chap in Zimbabwe,possibly.

Are you sure?
