Subject: KEEP THIS CANADIAN RANT CIRCULATING..
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 10:46:24 -0400
I AM CANADIAN
I am in the minority in Calgary , Vancouver , Toronto
And every casino in this country.
I was born in the forties, fifties or sixties, yet I am somehow responsible for some
First Nations people being screwed out of their land in the 1700's!
I pay import tax on cars made in Ontario
I am allowed to skydive and smoke, but not allowed to drive without a seat belt.
All the money I make until mid July must go to paying taxes.
I live and work among people who believe Americans are
Ignorant.... These same people cannot name this country's new territory.
On April 1st, 1999, the map of Canada changed for the first time in 50 years with the creation of Nunavut Territory .
The Northwest Territories was split and approximately 2 million square kilometers of the central and eastern arctic became ' Nunavut '.
Although I am sometimes forced to live on hamburgers and don't
Have a pot to pee in, I sleep well knowing that my taxes helped purchase
A nice six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled refugee.
Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate...
Quebec still provides most of my nation's prime ministers.
95% of my nation's international conflicts are over fish.
I'm supposed to call black people African Canadians, although I'm
Sure none of them have ever been to Africa for that matter.
I am being told that paying a 200% tax on alcohol is fair.
I am also being told that the same tax on gasoline is also fair.
Even if I have no idea what happened to that old rifle my
Grandfather gave me when I was 14, I will be considered a criminal if
I don't register it.
I am being told that spending $15 billion to promote the French language
In the rest of Canada is fair when the province of Quebec doesn't
Support or recognize the English language.
I am being told that paying $1million for 3 Stripes ('The Voice of Fire painting in Ottawa )
By the National Art Gallery was a good purchase, even though 99% of this country
Didn't want it or will ever see it.
When I look at my pension and realize that I take home a third of what I actually
Make, I say 'Oh well, at least we have better health care than the Americans.'
I must bail out farmers when their crops are too wet or too dry because I control the rain
I must bail out big corporations who drive their business into the
Ground and say yeah that's ok when they move all there manufacturing plants
And jobs to a third world country and say no problem.
My National Anthem has versions in both official languages.
Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest
Military buffer for the United States , and the number one destination
For fleeing terrorists.
I am not an angry white male. I am an angry taxpayer who is broke.
I am Canadian !!!
