What is Canada?

Its a really really big cold place with very loose ties to Great Britian. It has nice people, some of whom speak english, others of whom speak french. You mentioned terrain, it has various types of terrain... its a big place...

Very touristy, very beautiful, very mountainous. The economy looks good... considering it's close to the Pacific, I assume it doesn't snow much except for in the mountainous regions.

The cities get big. Not quite New York big, but getting there (Houston size, methinks).

French speaking is more of an East Coast thing, isn't it? As for the west, I doubt the majority is bilingual (taking another language in a class at highschool does not make you bilingual).

Canada seems to not want much to do with international affairs. It just wants to live and prosper, not heal the world and be vigilant. It seems to me that Canadians are under the impression that the standard American is a lot like the elected officials; often times corrupted... or just plain ignorant of the world around them. The fact is, teens in the states are like teens in Canada. Same values, same thought processes, just different positions which would mean brought up with different beliefs.

So.. err, yes... Canada is like the States but without guns (which means potentially more unanswered violence). Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

O_o That's like saying you've never seen someone punched to death without fists, or stabbed to death without a stabbing weapon..

Guns make killing people easier... it also makes defending yourself easier. If the only weapon a person had was his/her own body, then defending yourself would be extremely difficult, and catching somebody (being a cop) would be very difficult as well.

"Stop, or I'll punch you!"

Edit:

P.S. If guns were ever made, but not legal, then only those with evil intention would try hard enough to get their hands on the weaponry... and therefor have a large advantage over those trying to defend themselves. If guns were legal, then... while it'd be easier to get your hands on a gun, you'd have to realize that everyone else can defend themselves if you tried to kill them.

P.P.S. If possible, I'll own a gun, know how to use it, and let people know about it. The playing field will be even, and nobody will want to get into a fight about it. Bwuahah.

hun, exactly, its harder to defend yourself, and to kill others without a gun... the murder rate might be lower if we didn't have guns

tazoring guns have a good effect too... just without the bullet and the blood, just shocks of electricity to where you cant move...

We get all of your movies. And we watch them.

True story.

Meh is the equivelent of a shoulder shrug. And did you know that Matt Groening's father is Canadian and that's who Homer Simpson is based on? Pretty nutty.
