There is a real Canadian culture. If you think the blend of native Americans, French and English wouldn't be different from our Irish, Spanish, English background.
You're culture values things differently than we do. While not pacifist you have a longer fuse than we do, are more diplomatic. We are more aggressive. Communal defense and rights are valued over individual rights. Same goes for property rights. Hell your government still, legally, draws its authority from the queen. -----Original Message----- From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 12:50 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Gas Station Jihad? this is not a sine qua non.
