Changes to some annoying name errors, plus Canada civ

You are talking about the stereotypes my country holds for yours and then using one on the South. Is this not hypocritical? Thats what i am getting at. You may think the south holds stereo types about canada but there are very few that i know of. The ones that come to mind are that you have a weak army, that you speak funny, you love hockey, and your nice. How is this bad maybe you would disagree with the weak army but that hardly matters. In this day and age who needs a big army. America built the hick stereo type and spread it to the world why must you support it. You yourself said you have been here and seen the reality. So why should you hold on to the old stereo types when you know the truth.

P.S. If you really believe Jerry Springer you are stupid. The only thing faker then Jerry Springer is Dolly Partons tigol bitties.

Americas rise is not exactly late..

well it is compared to say Babylon or Persia, but who knows what freakish civs may form in the future? Perhaps a nuclear war forcing bands of raoming survivors to band together? Would they form another "America" or "Russia"? i dont know.... only the future will tell.

I am an American I believe that America invented everything ever invented and is the richest and best country in the world. I know this because Grorge W Bush is NOT a dunce, but a very intelligent, worldly man and he told me.

It you don't believe me then go to this link at the UN development office and you can see that AMERICA is way above measly old Canada on the Human Develpoment Index...I think..

HOCKEY! YOU IDIOTS FORGOT HOCKEY!

 

[newfangle]

All you people that say Canada is not scientific or industrious are more ignorant than well... Americans.

Scientific: hmmm, electron microscope, vacuum cleaner, washing machine, telephone, avro arrow, Canadarm, fast attack frigates

Industrious: 30 millions peeps industrialize the second largest land mass in the world.

 

[dannyevilcat]

Gahhhh!!!! Let's look at this way:

Is Canada:

Religious? Not particularily so, and there is no predominant religion here anyway

Militaristic?

Commercial? Our dollar isn't worth much...

Expansionist? Well, this one might have a case,

but who cares?!!!!?!?!?!?!!!! Everyones a critic, just make some minor changes of your own instead of nitpicking those of others and please end this crap!

The 'great north' has some strange misconceptions of the American south.
The Canadian military is weak. It is a sensitive issue to do with national pride. One dislikes being dependent on another for security.
We really do speak funny. I love the southern accent.
We love hockey. Hockey is actually a British 'invention', but we will NEVER acknowledge that.
We are nice. You'd be too if you were a nobody.

Many, all over the world, dislike giving Americans credit for 'intelligence'. It's really too bad that some think that their dogs are 'intelligent' animals, but humans born under the American flag are stupid until proven otherwise.

OTOH. If we all had a better sense of humor, like Jerry Springer, the world would be more fun.

This is just a partial list

And, in the side of great constructions you can say:

Hydroelectric dams (Manic 5, LG 2, Churchill falls complex...)
The Trans-Canadian Railroad
The Confederation Bridge

And to complete the list of achievement above :
The 735 Kv electric lines

Exept those, your list was quite complete!

Insulin. Banting and Best were, er... the best.

Yes but, Manic 5 is still the greatest "barrage hydroélectrique à voûtes multiples en béton" in the world and LG 2's reservoir is realy insanely immense.

I don't consider hydro dams achievements. Anyone that considers them "green" power is uneducated.

Yeah, there not that green (mercury due to plant decomposition and the place submerged by the reservoir) but they produce gigantic power with almost no permanent danger for the environment (no CO2, no danger of nuclear meltdown...). But i thik that LG2 is realy bigger than the Hoover Dam witch is considerated as a wonder in C3...

Et, à propos, avez-vous une idée d'où s'en va l'électricité est-canadienne? Dans le cas de LG2, LG2a, LF et de Churchill falls, elle s'en va aux USA, donnant un bénéfice net d'un peu plus d'un Milliard de $ canadien à Hydro-Québec chaque année!!!

I think they put in Hoover for the Engineering feat it took to actually build that Dam. LG2 probably is bigger but it also was built later and did not take so much extra work to get it done. Like the four tunnels through the mountains to divert the Colorado.

How long are they? Cause any hydro central exept the "au fil de l'eau" central got tunnels to enhance the power of the water that goes in. For example : LG2 and 2-a tunnels are about 160 meters deep underground compared to the Robert-Bourassa Reservoir.

Just for my culture.

I'm sick of this Canada vs. USA Cold War.

I'm a Canadian.
I'm a Canadian-American.

I used to hate America based on the stereotypes and rumours that ran rampant in Toronto. Now I know better.

So it sickens me when some American makes a comment that why would someone want to be Canada in the Civilization games.

It's always offended me that Canada has been left in the dust in so many video games.

Street Fighter for example (although I heard this rumour that they wanted to use a Mountie but the RCMP said no because it would ruin their image)...anyway the point is Civ and all it's similar games are supposed to be for FUN.
FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN.

Go to www.ultimatewarrior.com and learn to THINK.

NO more nation bashing and the like. All countries and civs should eventually be in a Sid Meier Civ game and that's the bottom line.
(no i'm not a wrestling fan! UW is a very smart man who's got some great philosophies)

If you've got some links to some Canada mods for games, let me know.

Until Later, eh!

Hey it's been a while since I've seen this thread, thought I'd check in and let everyone know yes my Igloo did melt due to the heat... 2'C really is a killer, gotta get those short's out and trim down the moose (She's sweating up a storm). Now if only the ice would come back I could get the Geese to pull the sleigh across the river.

Best get your facts straight and think about it for a second...

Hockey WAS invented in Canada.. if you want the facts about hockey look them up for yourself.. Now if you are speaking of lord stanley going over to england to play hockey and where the first stanley cup was awarded yes it was in England. a game between the Royal team and the canadian team.. I mean with all that snow in england they must have invented it as we have none in canada.
