Other then that, say hello the C7A1!This baby is the Canadian version of the M-16/M4/CAR-15 assault rifle family. Other then that, the C7A1 also includes,A 3.4x Rifle Scope: For those long range sniping!Safe, Single Shot, and Full Auto settings: We trust our own soldiers with a fully automatic rifle.Just two things make the C7A1 nearly twice as useful as a cheap M-16 ^_^-Caster------------------

Canada's army is one of the best trained armies in the world. We may not have half a billion soldiers, but the ones we do have regularly kick the american soldiers asses in Mock-War Games.Anyway, thought you might like a little knowledge on the subject before you make any more unfounded jokes...and besides, why should Canada spend money on a huge army when we can spend that money on healthcare, education, helping the homeless, etc. The US already spends enough on defending all of North America so why should we bother...and as if the US wouldn't be the first country to support Canada in a war against ANYONE, let alone against America's tradtional Arch-nemesis Russia, shortly followed by the rest of the world Super Powers(Except maybe China, but even they might). We are loved by everyone!! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">anyway, no offense taken by your jokes or intended by my post. I just wanted to get this off my shoulders since you don't seem to have much knowledge in the area of Canada's Defenses.

well, to the best of my knowledge, on an international level, Canada's military is well respected for its peace keeping efforts and important contributions during every major war to occur on this planet. but yes, as a single entity, we are not known as a Military Super-power.i did get the joke, to some degree at least, it was just having the UN, whom Canada is a well respected member of, laugh at the thought of Canada going to war, seemed a little...how to say this without being offensive, since that's not what i'm trying to do...insulting. i dunno, maybe i'm just too senstitive, and assume that when americans make a stereotypical comment about Canada, even jokingly, that the american believes the comment at least to some degree, since americans are notorious(At least in Canada they are) for being uneducated in the ways of the rest of the world. This is thanks to stupid comments made to Canadaians, almost every time they visit the US, like:American: "Calgary? Where's that?"Canadian: "Canada."American: "Dang, do you know Gary? He lives in Toronto. Nice guy. Lives in an Igloo."Canadian: "No, but do you know Billy Bob from Mississippi?"American: "Yeah, Three actually, which one you know?"Canadian: *Shakes head* "Nevermind."or American: "Canada? Where's that?"or my personal favorite...American #1: "Where ya from?"Canadian: "Canada"American #2: "Canada? Isn't that one of our states?"American #1: "Yeah, I think our last president came from there."anyway, personal experience has shown me that in general, the average american knows next to nothing about Canada, so it irks me when they try to pretend like they do, and when it seems they know nothing, i assume they don't. my fault i guess.my apologies for being so senstitive...let the story continue...oh, but about that "Aboot" comment...its only the Quebecers and Newfies that talk like that...so, i will assume the leader of the "Peoples Canadian Liberation Front" is either from Quebec(Which would make sense actually) or a newfie(Doesn't make sense).ah, well, i tried...anyway, let me add, that i do enjoy your stip, and am disappointed when i check in, on a dailey basis, to find out it hasn't been updated yet. thats all my rants for one day...

Y'know personally I really don't see why you just don't just invade us already. I mean we'd never expect it, our military forces are at an all time level of crappiness right now and let's face it... not a single damn American would probably even notice the difference. I say Canada should just come down and take over the US, there by becoming the largest, most powerful country in existence. And from there... you could hit the UK without any trouble and then proceed to pretty much take over the entire frick'n world...Damn... all of a sudden, I really wish I was in some position of political power in the Canadian government so I could do all that myself...Yes, I think I'd call myself, His Supreme Royal High Emperor President-for-life Second Only to God (and we're working on that part) Pope Czar Poe, Lord of all that bow on their knees before him.

Yes..I love travelling in the US. You can tell the American's so many stories about Canada. They are extremely gullible..Honest truth, I live in Edmonton, Alberta. We were in Colorado skiing and stopped at a gas station on the way back. The attendant asked us if we were from Canada.. We of course answered yes. He then proceeded to take out a winter jacket and give it to us. He said "Sally from Montreal left this when she stopped in, can you give this back to her when you get home?"
Don't American's realize that Canada is actually BIGGER than the U.S. itself? Yes it's true we don't occupy much more than the bottom 1/3 of our provinces, but right on the border you would think proximity would overwhelm ignorance... Oh well. What can you expect from people today..Btw, I liked the comic mocking Canada's military. If such jokes continue, people will continue to ignore the fact that we have so many grain elevators in the middle of nowhere.. even where there are no crops. But, you gotta store your missles somewhere. As for the location of the Canadian terrorists.. he would have to be a Newfie. He doesn't speak Hanglish like a Quebecer, we Albertan's are currently swimming in cash so paying wouldn't be an issue and all the other provinces are so left wing that the thought of any sort of independance action is unthinkable. If it is a Newfie, just stand clear and wait for the explosion.. It's gonna happen. They don't become normal people until they have been away from home for a few years. (nah.. Newfies are all good. They have the best sense of humour of all us Canucks)Well, don't follow the trend Poe. Show us that you aren't an "unedumacated" hick and do Canada some justice... Remember. In Canada, we don't get mad, we throw pies. [This message has been edited by Magicide (edited 10-19-2000).]

Wohoo! Go Canada.....Poe, you missed: Prime Minister (Canadian boss-type-guy) and Kahn (Genghis Kahn, Kahn was actually like the title "King" or the equilivent or soemthing... I remember hearing that from some guy who reasearched him a bunch... he said "Kahn was actually a title or something...")LoL, Funny how "Pro-Canada" most Canadians are, but they still go down to the U.S. to earh the $$$'s rather than stay in Canada

Avro-Arrow! I think all the guys who made it ended up going down and working for like NASA or something... but that was one sweet machine... if we had a larger military budget I bet we could make some pretty sweet vehicles/weapons....Good joke about Canadian army:
Person 1: Ya, so did you hear? Half of the Canadian army is french!
Person 2: Wow, really? I thought they just had one french-speaking province...
Person 1: Ya, his Mother was...LOL, sorry but I was told that joke a while ago by my newfie friend... (who also claims 90% of all newfie jokes come from the newfies themselves....)Wow, wanna hear something kinda sad if you think about it? The U.S. military budget could feed and clothe everybody on earth who can't afford it... I heard that somewhere... I am pretty sure it's accurate...Oh, and just wondering how many people know what CESIS is? That spelling could be TOTALLY off... I dunno how the name is, but that's how it sounds...

Ahh good ol' newphies, Canada's proverbial blonds. I'd just like the mention that although I'm sure us Canadian are nicer/smarter/pretty much better at everything <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"> than the americans there are exceptions.....I mean look at me, I'm a peverted asshole who's worn a zip up kiddie sized tie to school every day for the last week. .....what the fuck am I talking about.Uh anyways, I'm Canadian, yay <insert patriotic comment here>Bryn------------------

It's CSIS. If you aren't careful, they will attempt to make you disappear, but instead bungle it up and make everyone laugh at them... only in Canada.If the CIA was on your back, you are nervous. If CSIS is on your back you give a hearty laugh and carry on with life..

um, actually, CSIS is a pretty damn good agency(Minus a few errors) I mean, it was one of the few "Secret" Agencies of the World that was truely a secret until they made their first big mistake. Pretty much NO one knew CSIS even exsisted until the mid-80's i think it was. much better than say, oh, the Secret Service of the US, which hasn't been a secret since it started.just adding another Canadian nickle(That's 2 cents $US) to the discussion. ------------------

now I know nothing about this, but maybe they were secret because they never actually managed to do anything?cos that would sound like the australian one, if we have one, which I'm not too sure about, because IF we do, they don't actually do anything =]
