JUS' SAYIN':

I AM CANADIAN
I am in the minority in Calgary , Vancouver , Toronto
and every casino in this country.

I was born in the thirties, forties, fifties ,sixties or seventies, yet I am somehow responsible for some First Nations people being screwed out of their land in the 1700's!
I pay import tax on cars made in Ontario

.



I am allowed to skydive and smoke, but not allowed to drive without a seat belt.

All the money I make until mid July must go to paying taxes.

I live and work among people who believe Americans are Ignorant....
These same people cannot name this country's new territory.

On April 1st, 1999, the map of Canada changed for the first time in 50 years with the creation of Nunavut Territory .
The Northwest Territories was split and approximately 2 million square kilometers of the central and eastern arctic became ' Nunavut '.

Although I am sometimes forced to live on hamburgers and don't have a pot to piss in,
I sleep well knowing that my taxes helped purchase a nice six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled refugee.

Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate...
Quebec still provides most of my nation's prime ministers.

95% of my nation's international conflicts are over fish.

I'm supposed to call black people African Canadians,
although I'm sure none of them have ever been to Africa for that matter.
I am being told that paying a 200% tax on alcohol is fair.

I am also being told that the same tax on gasoline is also fair.

Even if I have no idea what happened to that old rifle my
Grandfather gave me when I was 14, I will be considered a criminal if I don't register it.

I am being told that spending $15 billion to promote the French language in the rest of Canada is fair when the province of Quebec doesn't support or recognize the English language.

I am being told that paying $1million for 3 Stripes
('The Voice of Fire' painting in Ottawa )
by the National Art Gallery was a good purchase, even though 99% of this country didn't want it or will ever see it.

When I look at my pension and realize that I take home a third of what I actually make, I say
'Oh well, at least we have better health care than the Americans.'

I must bail out big corporations who drive their business into the ground and say,
'yeah that's ok.'
When they move all their manufacturing plants and jobs to a third world country and say,
'no problem.'

My National Anthem has versions in both official languages.
Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest Military buffer for the United States, and the number one destination for fleeing terrorists.

I am not an angry white person.


I am one TICKED OFF taxpayer,
who is broke
I am Canadian !!!

Wow summitric......you really did your homework on that one.....hmmm are all of those things an accurate representation of truth.... or just your spin on it........I love this country...when I travel and see things that just don't seem right..well I just thank god I live here...... yes yes I know the cost of anything is what your willing to sacrifice for it... do you not think that the people from somewhere else might miss something from that place as they make a life here for themselves.......true that not everyone is legit but then again not so true are the words in your rant......just saying........Canada is a mosaic and as a true canadian I am most proud of that.

I <3 Canada.

I do not <3 taxes.

I prefer being in Canada, to not paying as much taxes living in, oh, lets say, the states.

Nowhere is perfect, and in my opinion, Canada is pretty close.

I still hate paying taxes, but I can stop doing that once Im dead. :d :d

The short sighted view here is your's, everybody is allowed the right to their own opinion and to express them as they see fit, good or bad, right or wrong this is the true beauty of a democratic society. I suggest you take your own advice and leave if thats what you truly believe.

Democracy ? Ruled by the thoughts and opinions of 1. Has the power to say no to anything and everything. Sure we get to vote who gets the power but we get no input into what he says no to
