    I know it was meant as a tongue in cheek comment, but after seeing some of the replies and the recent bump, I figure it was best to debunk some of the nonsense before things went too far.
    I'm assuming you're white? Why is it important to you to be in the racial majority? While whites may comprise of less than 50% of the total population in those areas, they are still the single largest ethnic group in each of those cities.

    I'm also white and among the majority in every casino I've ever been in, but WTF? Who cares?

    40's, 50's, or 60's? What, you're not sure?

    How are you "responsible" for it? No one holds you responsible. But the Aboriginal rights are protected under the Canadian Constitution - the same constitution that you're so quick to protect *because* it's what makes Canada Canada.

    Source? If so, thanks for paying it for me, because I certainly don't.

    Yes you can skydive and smoke, although I'm not sure why you would want to do it simultaneously. But, are you allowed to skydive without a parachute?

    How do you survive for the first 7.5 months? I also live in Canada and not all the money I make until mid July must go to pay taxes. Sounds like you need a better accountant. PM me and I'll hook you up with someone, because a 60%-plus tax bracket simply doesn't exist in Canada. No wonder you're so pissed off.

    What is this even in reference to? Nunavut? The "new" territory formed 15 years ago? I bet I can find Canadian-born Canadians who still don't know.

    ...and yet you've got internet access and a device to access Cancuncare. Priorities, I guess.

    I tried fact checking this. Couldn't find it. Source?

    If by "most" you meant "some", you'd be absolutely right. This one I was able to fact check. Quite easily, actually. And it's wrong.

    List of Prime Ministers of Canada by place of birth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    22 Prime Ministers, 6 from Quebec. Many of whom actually voted *against* separating.

    Congratulations. You just pissed off every veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. Best of luck.

    Even if it were, how is that a bad thing? You want more grand scale conflict? Not dramatic enough? Is it better to have a plethora of international conflicts?

    So the requirement is that they have to have actually *been* to Africa to qualify? I didn't know it was that specific.

    I get the impression you don't have black friends, so you'll have to trust me on this one: most prefer being called by their names.

    I pay 5% tax. You should move to Alberta and/or stop voting Conservative.

    No one is holding a gun to your head. If it's too expensive, don't buy it. Or, stop voting Conservative. Or sell the Dodge Ram, or take a bus, or walk, or ride a bike, or move, or....

    Maybe better care should be taken of treasured family heirlooms. Besides, at time of the original poster's posting, a long gun registry didn't exist. Still doesn't. So, rest easy. Please, I mean it. Relax, gun owner. Don't need you getting upset and doing something rash.

    Source? I'm doubtful that it's even 1/10th of that.

    Losing even more credibility here. At least get the names right: "Voice of Fire" (purchased for $1.8 million) was purchased by "The National Gallery of Canada". I would have agreed with this argument when it was purchased. However, a "good purchase" it was, supposedly. Worth well over $40 million today. I guess neither of us are good art appraisers.

    Newman’s revenge: The value of Voice of Fire is scorching hot | Ottawa Citizen

    A third? The highest *marginal* tax rate in Canada is sitting at about the 45% mark and that's with provincial income tax. That's typically for incomes in excess of the $150k ballpark. If that's you, congratulations. Maybe you can buy that pot to piss in and stop eating hamburgers now. Your good attitude and optimism has taken you far in life.

    Then. Stop. Voting. Conservative.

    Can't afford to visit the province next to you, yet can afford to be a TTR repeater...

    Canadians pay for The Queen only when, as our head of state, she performs duties in Canada. The most recent tour cost Canadians approximately 15 cents per person. (Approximately $4.5 million) Like all countries, Canadians regularly welcome and bear similar or greater expenses for visiting heads of state and government, ranging from the Pope to the Emperor of Japan to the Presidents of the United States and Mexico, none of whom have any constitutional involvement with our land, but whom we welcome as friends, allies or trading partners.

    Myths about the Monarchy

    Don't stop there. Also a haven for American draft dodgers too!

    Prayer was never banned from our public schools. In fact, the courts have repeatedly upheld the right of student prayer. It just can't be led in any way or be required by the school. Pray your brains out. We trust our teachers to provide education, not indoctrination. Religion is a freedom. Let's keep it that way.

    ...and you have the privilege of being totally unaware of your own privilege.

    Maybe stop frequenting all those casinos you were referring to at the beginning.

    You've got to admire people that don't let facts get in the way of a good ignorant rant. Somebody needs a Timmy's and a good lesson in Canadian history that goes beyond the legion with his beer buddies. Sounds like someone hit the "200% tax" pretty hard before writing this.

    ;)

    Maybe you're right. Maybe I need a vacation. Or maybe I need to try harder to find the humour in racism. Or both.
