    Since Canada is America's hat, it stands to reason that's where all the brains are....right?

    No. The hat sits on top of the brains and if you were smart you would know that. Having said that I have no desire or reason to slander Canada
    other than to respond when they slander us.

    If you had any brains you'd know that the hat/cap ensconces the top half of the head, where all the brains are....eh?

    Perhaps, if you pull your hat down so the head band fits midway between the eye brows and the hair line. Maybe I do want to insult Canadians after all, eh?

    I remember we had a girl in my high school class who thought Canada was part of the US... :/

    What's the capital of Kyrgyzstan?

    Probably don't know that either... why not? They're both equally as relevant.

    Harper is that stupid he doesn't even realize how ridiculous he appears preaching his nonsensical blathering platitudes to the world.

    I wouldn't be surprised if half of those who said they knew what Canada's capital was thought it was Toronto. Most people in our country can't even pick out where the states are. You'd think curiosity about the world around people would get them to look at a map, but Keeping up with the Kardashians is more interesting to most people.

    Perhaps statements like this one by Canada's P. M. will put Ottawa in the news more.

    So what if they can't name Canada's capital. Europe is like a million miles away.

    Of course young people didn't know that Ottawa was the capitol of Canada because young people today don't know jack-(*)(*)(*)(*)!

    Kids today are zombies and are extremely stupid... They're like progressive drones. But hey, that's all part of the plan.

    The New York film industry could theoretically become more influential than Washington?

    And……… they might just be able to do this through Ottawa……. and Saanich Gulf Islands, British Colombia?!


    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=394887&p=1064729799#post1064729799

    ………
    Imagine that a "Green Party Dollar" has been printed up............. and imagine that Canada's Green Party publicly states that they want investors for a company....... ran by long time members of the Green Party and they wish to use Green Party Dollars to raise a sufficient number of Canadian dollars to purchase controlling interest in one of Canada's many provincial power companies?!

    Imagine that the goal is to do testing on Solar Roadways to see if this technology can be viable up here in Canada?

    http://www.solarroadways.com/intro.shtml

    One of the advantages to a roadway built with these solar panels is that we would not have to plow the snow off them...… and we would not have to add sand and salt to those roads. The actual amount of money that could be saved in this way is actually pretty incredible.

    Solar Roadways could produce some extra electricity at least during the summer months so.... there would have to be a legitimate deal with the provincial power company to allow Solar Roadways to connect to the provincial grid to add that excess electricity to the grid.... at least during certain months.

    The testing of Solar Roadways up here in Canada would be relevant to many American states.......

    Of course the pilot project would only take place on roadways that were already in need of being repaved anyway...… so the cost of repaving in a sense would be deducted from the cost of using this new technology?!

    Don't feel bad. About the same percentage couldn't find Iraq on a map either.

    Like Canada even matters. You know California, a single state in the U.S., has more people than all of Canada?

    It's trivia to know that. What practical purpose does it serve to know Ottawa is the capital of Canada?
