Actually it dates back to WW1, when Canada:
1. Made the first poison gas attack at Ypres
2. Won the battle through mud at Passchendaele
3. let's not forget the glorious victory of Vimy Ridge

And I'm pretty sure we have more than 55,000 troops, over 600 000 Canadians served in WW1 alone (although that includes other miltary serivces such as the Navy), and that was over 80 years ago.
Settle down there, Mr. Grade 10 History.

The topic is titled "Canada vs USA" and the question was who has the greatER health care system, not the greatEST, so using simple logic it was clearly only between USA and Canada.

And I don't think having a great health care system counts when it's a loser country like Isreal.

Oh yeah, Isreal is such a loser country, considering they've kicked everyone's ass who's ever messed with them since their creation.

If they're losers, who's a winner?

Didn't the Muslim states around Israel take it over only a couple days after the UN/England/USA created Israel? Then they had to rely on US made stuff to fight them back.



I think that is what happened... Might be wrong, though.

Isreal basically took back the land that they lost and more to send a message that they Islamic states shouldn't try it again. Thats what I thought happened anyway.

That is what happened and Palestine has been bitching about it
ever since. And let's not forget when they destroyed Egypt's air
force while it was sitting on the ground.

Kinda like Pearl Harbor? I know they were taking out like the navy... But there were some planes there too, right?

If you can offer any explanation to me as to why Israel is a "loser" country instead of just blurting it out with no reason, I won't deem you an ignorant fool. Deal?

I was watching Crossfire today, and I figured out why other countries do not like the USA. It is because you people are so ignorant. On Crossfire, the guy with the bowtie said something about the French, and then he goes "ribbit ribbit" on NATIONAL TELEVISION! My brother and I just looked at eachother and were shocked. The worst part of all, is that he was laughing, and the whole audience was laughing as well.

Wow. This is probably why there are many anti-American groups in France.

Name me one reason why Isreal does't suck.

I deemed you a fool long ago.

My dad doesn't like the guy with the bow-tie (he's the only one I know who watches that show)... And he also adds that "You can't take a person seriously when they're wearing a bow-tie"...

Just thought I'd say that...

I like cats
