Rolly, what does it cost to get rid of Canadian citizenship?

There are probably several hundred million people around the world who would gladly pay more than $2,350 to obtain US citizenship.

First you have to prove that you are a Canadian citizen, then it costs $100 cad

That's a bargain,it'll probably cost you more than that just to get your maple leaf tattoo removed.

crackin my self up.........$100.00 to denounce their citizen ship.....They screw their citizens, huge taxes......I think its time to charge Canadians for auto fees crossing our border. As one poster said tonight... they get us for giving up citizenship!

I have a lot of American friends down here and every one of them bash the US government and the general state of affairs up there, on a regular basis. But for some reason, if a non-US citizen bashes the US they suddenly become very defensive and patriotic........go figure.

I think it's just human nature,I might bash my brothers on occasion,but I wouldn't put up with someone outside of the family doing it.And pedro never misses a chance to bash the US,should I just shut up and let him get away with it?

CBob, I think it is the same human trait you see in families and other groups. They will talk smack about each other but god help the outsider who does the same thing. "Listen, buddy, he may be stone stupid but he is OUR stone stupid, so shut your pie hole."

No, not at all. I just figured many Americans would agree with him given the bashings I always hear. I was very surprised to hear what Americans had to say when I came down here. We never really heard this kind of talk from Americans living in Canada, and being only 15 minutes from the border I spent a lot of time in the US.

Bob, I agree ,there's plenty to criticize about the US,I just don't need to hear it from pedro.

Well as long as you know that pedro isn't Canada's ambassador so those are just his opinions........jajaja.

BTW.....when people told me my ex-wife was a bitch I totally agreed with them!!!!!!!

Jaja,so did I,but at that point she was no longer family...

"It's Yours" "own It" . Eh

Yes, Arbon. The U.S. is ours to bash, trash and love--just like the uncle who gets drunk and mean and spoils every party. When the neighbors say bad things, we still defend him.

This is never more exemplified than the use of the "N" word within certain segments of the A/A community in the US, but is completely verboten when coming from outsiders.

i spent many years in montana and never heard the kind of excited states bashing by it's own, that goes on in this enclave. difernt breed o' yanquis-SNORK!

Not all Americans think, speak and talk the same. Wow! Quite an observation there. If you know folks in one state they are different from people in other places. ANOTHER astute observation. I tell ya, nothing gets past you guys!

Yeah,I'll bet you didn't engage in much US bashing there either....unlike here and now from your computer.
