Alex Baldwin threatens to leave USA if Bush is elected:

Good Riddance

 Go easy on them, guys.
 You are talking about an actor. They (actors) have pretty faces and sometime can play (not necessary in the US). Intelligence is not a requirement for them.
 Listening to what an actor says and trying to fing a meaning in it is as stupid as blaming a canary for not knowing arithmetics. You want deap meaning, read a philosopher.
 You cannot discuss what an actor said without being foolish yourself. You should only discuss their outfits, affairs and haircuts...

 If an actor wants to say something and wahts me to take him seriously, he should accomplish something other then acting first, like become a governor, like R. Reagan.

Yet another publicity stunt. That's all those hollywood actors are after when their careers are down. After this statement you are sure to see him starring some movies.

Canada's social and lifestyle is waaaaayyy better off than the USA's bud. Who needs bill of rights? Canadians are wise! They dont need a piece of paper to tell them how to treat a fellow person...unlike the US where they use such paperwork to twist and abuse *cough* guns *cough*, etc, etc.  

Canada is the only nation on this planet that hasn't had a civil war.. what does that tell you? (besides lack of interest LOL).


Dont need no stinking guns, for behold I am the Lion... I am the Weapon!

Speaking of Canada....

Back in the 50's the USA developed the "perfect" weapon to intercept Soviet bombers in the event of a war--the Genie rocket.  This weapon was an unguided nuclear-powered rocked which would be able to knock out Soviet bombers without requiring pinpoint accuracy.  It was expected that any use of this weapon in war would occur over Canada.  Unfortunately, it seems that little consideration was given to the fact that this weapon would also wipe out a lot of Canadian citizens.  

Food for thought....

"it seems that little consideration was given to the fact that this weapon would also wipe out a lot of Canadian citizens."

Sorry, that's UTTER BS.  

1.  The Genie carried a 1.5 kt warhead.  This is an extremely small yield.

2.  The Genie was intended for high-altitude targets.

3.  The Genie was fired at a test target OVER THE USA on 19 July 1957.  Nobody was killed unless you count the drone target.

4.  The Genie was deployed in the USA as well as Canada.

5.  The Genie was used on the RCAF's own CF-101 fighters.

Honestly thats the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. But it's like we been tellin 'em for years...IF YA DON'T LIKE IT GET OUT!

Course that contradicts the whole theory of minorities in government...but given what actors are paid they DESERVE no rigths.

 I love Canadians, love the land, love the beer, and the people are friendly. But I too have had bad experiences, in the late 1960's, at USA borders with Canada, at the hands of the RCMP and the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police)at two different points of entry into the country. I found out the hard way that their authority and power at the borders are very wide.

At one checkpoint, returning to the USA from a two week road trip on my motorcycle, I declared one package of firecrackers that I was taking home. Turns out the firecrackers were made in "Communist China". I was told to pull over, and my bike was totally disembled - including the seat, tank, and headlight taken apart, my backpack, sleeping bag, messkit, fishing gear, and everything else - all was spread out on the cement. When they were done, they just walked away with no apology or anything, and left me to put it all back together.  

The other border experience was worse. This time I was driving a car and had my wife with me. We were returning from fishing out of Chapleau (had flown from there to the bush in a Beaver, White River Air Service) Anyway, we were re-entering the US at Sault Ste. Marie, and we answered the standard border questions. We had nothing to declare but Walleye, Lake Trout, and Northern Pike.

Inexplicably, I was told to pull over. They opened the large cooler and poked holes in all the aluminum foil-wrapped filets. They walked the drug dog around the car, and the dog alerted on my wife's borrowed suitcase.

Unfortunately, they found a single marijuana seed in the elastic pouch inside the lid. One seed. I was furious with my wife, even though it wasn't really her fault. Long story short, we were both strip searched in back rooms. The car was completely gone through, EVERYTHING was searched. We lost about 4 hours out of our lives there, but everything turned out ok.

[Sorrow[S=A]]

Ummm.

Canada DOES have a bill of rights thank you very much. Just because they don't read you "miranda" when they arrest you does not mean it's not there. It is alive and very well thank you.

Yes we have laws about bringing anything like a weapon in the country. You see with all you gung ho americans trying to bring your personal handcannons into our country to walk around with we and our fellow citizens tend to feel a lot less safe. Actually since the only time the average cnadian sees a handgun is in a robbery or on a policeman we feel a GREAT deal less safe.
Thus our customs has strict rules about making sure none cross the border but ones properly claimed with paperwork. Got paperwork- your good to go. Got none- leave it at home.
  BTW Maverick I am not sure how the hell you came into Canada but there is no ferries coming into Vancouver from across the border. So if you had somebody checkin you out on a vancouver ferry you musta had the ferry workers freaked enough to call you in..  in which case you probably deserved every bit of treatment you got.

  Oh yeah- Tac- we have had not one but 3 civil wars in Canada. I know your american.. but please look it up next time before you speak. We have had the Upper Canada Rebellion, Lower Canada Rebellion and the Louis Riel and red river valley war.

OPP are amazinhunks  

And only guys with inferiority complexes join the RCMP. Was true in the sixties and true now. If a Canadian cop is a salamander.. he was trying to be!

[Maverick]

Sorows,

You are telling me there is no ferry from Seattle to Vancouver Island. HHHMM must have been a differant kind of ship that transports trucks, semi's, cars, people and motorcycles there then right? That trip was in 1986.

I see from your post the treatment we received is the norm then. I guess taking pictures of the scenery from the deck of the ferry IS pretty suspicious. I can see where canadian customs would get real concerned.I suppose saying hello to the "nice" customs people is not the thing to do either. Glad I have no reason to go back to your country. I'd much rather spend off time in Mexico than Canada. Yep you can't drink the water but you get professional treatment and demeanor from the officials, particularly in comparison to canadian customs. The repetitive questioning of the customs agent asking if we had any intentions of using something to defend ourselves led me to understand why so many US criminals like canada.

[Sorrow[S=A]]

Mav- you CLEARLY wrote "vancouver". not "island".

And YES your more than welcome to not come back- I can tell by the tone of your posts your exactly the type that ferry personnel would look twice at- your only innocent in your own limited mindset.

And the repeated question is because so many moronic americans refuse to believe that we will NOT tolerate guns coming across our border. Hence we consistently have off duty cops, security guards and schmucks actually LIE about having weapons because they refuse to part with them.

BTW enjoy Mexico- I am sure you get along MUCH better with their cops compared to ours <snicker cough>

 I think I speak for the rest of Canada when I say.. DON'T SEND US ANY BALDWINS!  Toxic waste.. maybe.. just keep the Baldwins.
