Re: How did Canada become uncool?
 

I would rather say that being in Canada since early last year,it is not that it's not cool,it's simply a different kind of country then most of us are used to....if you have been and lived here long enough.

This country is relaxed,as I will say of it's people. Too relaxed to riot over tax hikes but not relaxed enough to riot over a lost hockey game.

I notice that when it comes to politics,people will complain but actually allow the government here to do as they wish when they wish.

Canadian television is horrid as far as imagination and content is concerned.

It seems to me from being here just a bit over a year that Canada is really heading along a path of being a seperated American state....

To add to that, the Brian Mulroney cash for questions money in an envelope, and his answer that "yes I took the money, but it was a gift and not related to sponsorship deals"...Right :rofl:

Would you please provide examples to indicate truth of these two statements and where the first statement is different as to what happens elsewhere.

Er, that is how democratically elected government works. MPs are not delegates; they are representatives. Government has a mandate to act as is sees best. If people don't like it, they vote for someone else at the next election. This why the Tories got slaughtered in the 1997 UK election, why Labour got a kicking last time, and why the Liberals and Bloc got blown to pieces here a few months ago.
