@Schlecht I'm a diehard packers fan, and i voted against A.ssault R.ifle aka The People's Champ, aka God's Son, aka badass SOB(son of brett) cause of the Madden curse. August 9 is gonna decide if i buy NCAA 12 or this. I'm leaning towards college this year.
The story of America's independence from England is very well known, but did you know Canada was also once part of the British Empire? It's true! We Canadians threw off the same British yoke as you, only we took a more leisurely route to liberation. In fact, you might say, we've been declaring our independence more than 200 years! Kind of!
Our style of revolution centered less on bloodshed and guerrilla warfare and more on the time-tested strategy of "not making a fuss." For example, at the same time you were declaring war on the English monarchy, we were enjoying privileges granted to us by King George in the Treaty of Versailles, which gave us rights off the coast of Newfoundland, provided we not dry or cure fish on land. (And by the way, we later got the right to cure and dry fish on land, thank you very much!)
All i'm saying is there is more than one way to skin a cat. Not that i am in any way saying i would like to harm a cat. Quite the contrary. I like cats. Unless America wants Canada to skin a cat, in which case we will gladly do it.
The point is we took out time, waiting for The Canadian Moment to arrive, rather than forcing it upon the world. We waited, in the cold, watching the U.S., most of Central and South America, Africa, and Asia throw off their colonial oppressors. I think it was us and Belize that held out.
And our patience ultimately paid off, for in the glorious year of 1982, we took the bold step of getting permission from England to amend our constitution so we could amend our constitution without getting permission from England. Let freedom ring!
Now the only remnants of the tyrannical rule of Queen Elizabeth II are an appointed "Governor General" who represents her in Canadian governmental affairs. And the Queen is still officially our head of state. Plus she's on all our money. And when we take a government job, we have to swear a loyalty pledge to her. All in all, a small price to pay for an independence achieved without bloodshed, violence, glory or independence.
I'm sorry if this in any way seems like i'm bragging.
My high school car still look classy, with the tv off in the dash. Girls busting they ass, yelling slow down he going too fast in a diamante with no tints on the glass.
