I have really noticed that Canadians like to argue
why is that?
is that just here or is that true everywhere in the great white north?
peace,

Unlike some countries, Canadians believe that there is no need to conform to some national mythology where everyone has to be exactly the same.
That and the fact that some of the Canadians here are whiny right-wing bastards

No can do.
The Albertans refuse to hug anyone until the Eastern bastards apologize for the NEP.
The Quebecers won't hug anyone because they are a distinct society.
Torontonians are too busy making money.
And BCers can't hug anyone cause they're already hugging trees or their chainsaws.

That and the fact that the parliamentary system fosters a far more "honest" level of debate... |
while this is a threadjack
why do you think that US has a less honest level of debate?
and in the US, people do not pump people of other geographical areas full of lead (Well not for 137 some years)

Many Americans seemed to find it perfectly acceptable to say that the President should not be criticized in time of war. That stifled debate.
Canadians would not accept that. During the October 1970 crisis when Trudeau enacted martial law to deal with some terrorists, Canadians continued to argue about whether he was justified in what he did. I don't think that would happen in the States.

Compare Quebec to Nova Scotia to Alberta politically and culturally. |
so the issue is that you are segregated, geographically?
well maybe you need something like we had back when we were desegregating
force people from the different areas to move so as to have the different groups even in every geographical area

we discuss things
and many disagree with Bush
we just don't get out our claws over it (or per capita we seem to not do it as often)
