I've never actually defending my government during an argument. If someone points out how my government put 1 billion dollars into the garbage chopper in the sink, in a failed gun registration program, I'd agree that it was quite retarded. If someone laughed at our meth addicted car thieves who steal 100 cars, attempt to fire guns randomly out windows, cause several traffic accidents while doing 90 mph down a city street, and then get sentanced to 3 years in jail, but get out after 9 months, I'd agree that our justice system and the people who come up with laws and punishments are also retarded. I'd also agree that our prime minister (both current paul martin and previous john creten) is a turd and should be fired. The only thing Canada has done that I'm proud of is its involvement in ww2, and its peace keeping operations around the world. Other than that, Canada is about as usefull as a broken foot. But do I still love living here? You bet. I can put up with a shitass government, if the trade off is friendly people, and a high standard of living.
