Canada is possibly the greatest country in the world. We contribute lots. We are in tons of countries peacekeeping, we trade with any developing nations that need help, we accept anyone into our society with open arms. I doubt that anyone on this board read about that 9 year old Afghani boy who was sent over to Canada so we could treat his rare heart condition....FOR FREE.

Quite childish. To say that a country is the greatest country in the world. To take care about that 9 year old Afghani boy was nothing but a political act. You what's not political? What Itay is doing right now in Iraq. We have ITALIAN Red Cross there, while the International Red Cross left Iraq due to a bomb. We got Carabinieri and Police there, helping Iraqi. We got doctors and volounteers, there....FOR FREE. And they're killing us.

How was taking that Afgani boy a political act when it was done 1.After the elections and 2. When there is no political party involved?
I respect what Italy is doing but that does not mean you need to disrespect what Canada does.

No man, i'm not disrespecting Canada. When i say it's a political act i mean the whole world talked about it in all their newspapers. It's more like promotion. Like when a famous actor donates something with the press filming it on TV. Promotion. For a good reason, but still. FOR FREE? Damn you are talking about 10,000$ max. Other nations are doing more important things for 100,000,000$ or more, in the silence, and to help other people. They are sacrifying human lifes and loosing 20-25 years old guys to help others. It's a political act cause everybody thanked Canada because of that move. But nobody thanx everyday people who, in the silence, are giving their life to save other people's lifes. And i'm not talking about Italians only. Political parties has nothing to do with it. It's promotion, for a country. 10,000$ max to save a guy and let the whole world knows about it is not something "special". To leave everything home and to go to Iraq or Afghanistain helping poor people and risking your life is something "special". That's wassup. I got respect for Canada. For everybody. I just said the truth about that young guy. P.S. I'm happy they did it, dont get me wrong.

Ras Kass' Toothpick:
I really pisses me off when my friends/co-workers/acquaintances talk shit about the U.S. just cause they think they are arrogant. They don't know (or care) about what America has done for us. It's even worse when a member of our parliament is talking shit about the Americans and she even gets re-elected. It's embarrassing.
RXL:
Americans ARE evil. ;D

I heard something interesting the other day on Southpark of all places, but it made a lot of sense to me. They siad that 1/3 of the world hates the US, because the US doesn't know that 1/3 of the world hates them.

Canada is a member of the G7, that means out of the over 200 countries in the world, Canada is in the top 7. And how can you say we've never contributed anything good to the world? Ever heard of William Shatner?
