I'm not saying that they don't want to be Canadian, but many enjoy the thought of being 51st state, but with the Canadian flag (and not necessarily anything else).<br /><br />In the Conservative Evangelical Christian circles I ran in, most of the people wanted an American-style military, health system, welfare system, etc. I'm sure there are a lot of underlying reasons for this, such as the fact that their "style" of Christianity was birthed in the USA, plus they tend to consume large amounts of American media (because Canadian media and art tends to be too "liberal").<br /><br />(Uh, oh! I just posted at Canadian Cynic's site - If Neo Conservative sees this I'll never be able to post at Neo's blog ever again!)sinned34https://www.blogger.com/profile/03995070458330162319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-78339411446832815562009-06-16T23:42:35.111-04:002009-06-16T23:42:35.111-04:00"you underdeveloped idiots yelling insults&qu...<i>"you underdeveloped idiots yelling insults</i>"<br /><br />and said without a hint of embarrassment, i'm sure.<br /><br />KEvronKEvronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732621823124759996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-33850704756003019582009-06-16T21:40:15.811-04:002009-06-16T21:40:15.811-04:00But damned if they ever match the sort of willful,...<i>But damned if they ever match the sort of willful, inept, talking-points-spewing lunacy that their Canadian counterparts demonstrate on a daily basis.</i><br /><br />I've spent years examining (English) right- and left-wing blogs in both countries and I've made a few observations:<br /><br />- Canadian right wingers <i>import</i> a lot of their ideas from their American homologues. I'm not sure they actually consider them that worthy or understand the context (cultural, historical, economic) from which they spring, so they're basically reduced to repeating them, to agree uncritically with each other and to complain about how out of touch Canada is.<br /><br />- A huge proportion of the readership of Canadian right wing blogs is American. I checked that out a while back. For some of the most popular Canadian right wing blogs, more than 50% (and often much higher) of the hits they get originate in the US. The American readership of Canadian left/liberal blogs, in contrast, is almost too small to measure.<br /><br />- Canadian liberal/left blogs don't need American bloggers as a source for many new ideas. Most American liberals are advancing policies that have been in place in Canada (and discussed to death) for quite some time.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-36643972205225224352009-06-16T20:31:32.885-04:002009-06-16T20:31:32.885-04:00CC newbie here.
