I assert that you did not spend your years as a child in our educational system. Did you?
I don't see how the location of my schooling is relevant to this discussion at all. If my elementary and secondary education was not undertaken in Canada, would you consider my opinion to be worth less than that of any other Canadian who 'spent their formative years in Canada'? Perhaps you can englighten us on how this is relevant to the discussion at hand.
For the record, I did do some of my elementary, all my secondary and post-secondary schooling in Canada. Is that enough to meet your bigoted standard?
You still have not answered my earlier question. Your evasion is noted. Again, I will ask you, do you consider those who have a different world view from you to be un-Canadian? Yes or no.
I am concerned that you persist on this line of thinking about where one spends their 'formative years'. Tell me. Is this what you wonder when you meet other immigrants or people of colour? Are you concerned that they aren't Canadian because they have not spent their 'formative years' in Canada? For all your righteousness on here, we can finally see what kind of a bigot you are. You don't even have the humility to apologize for your comment.
Your military views sound like American views is what I assert with that comment about you appearing Americanized.
Please explain to me how my views on CANADA's foreign and defence policies are 'American'? I have suggested that we should rely less on the United States. That's 'American'? Do you approve of the fact that because our air force only keeps 48 combat coded fighters that we have to routinely allow American fighters to intercept Russian Bears trying to probe Canadian airspace? Or perhaps you like the fact that in the event of another 9/11, it will be fighters from upstate New York protecting Toronto's airspace? Or maybe you are comfortable with the fact that since we have no nuclear submarines, our arctic waters are completely dominated by American, Russian, British and the odd Chinese submarine. I am a fierce defender and promoter of Canadian sovereignty. I don't consider it to be 'American' to suggest that our government fund our armed forces (and other services like CBSA, RCMP, etc.) sufficiently to ensure that we don't have to rely on others to protect our own territory.
