Wah
Name one, just one, with that murder rate per month as you stated. Or are you talking out your drunken maple leaf ass again?

Wah
Cite your sources, reputable sources. This past decades annual murder rates are at an all time low for the city of NY avg 500 or less per year, not month, Klyin. You`re right, it doesn't add up to thousands except in your head. Hope you do math better when you run the weiner cart.

Only 500, well thats great for 1 city alone. Maybe even less than US soldiers die per year ?

Wah
Largest city in America with a pop of 8.1 million as of 4/1/10. You`re beginning to tap dance there buddy. Getting uncomfortable again because someone`s called you out on accuracy? Don`t change the subject either. Follow through on at least one of your statements before you spew out another.

Where's all that Canadian tolerance?
Canada Bans Full Face Veils When Taking Citizenship Oath, CAIR Freaks Out…
I know, the horror of having to conform to a country’s traditions and values, especially when it comes to respecting the rights of women. CAIR has already issued their first shrieking press release.
Canada Bans Full Face Veils When Taking Citizenship Oath, CAIR Freaks Out…
I know, the horror of having to conform to a country’s traditions and values, especially when it comes to respecting the rights of women. CAIR has already issued their first shrieking press release.
(CBC News) — The government is placing a ban on face coverings such as niqabs for people swearing their oath of citizenship, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Monday.
The ban takes effect immediately.
As a result, Muslim women will have to remove their niqabs or any other face-covering garments, such as burkas, before they can recite the oath of citizenship to become Canadians. Citizenship judges will be directed to enforce the rules at ceremonies over which they preside.
It’s a “public declaration that you are joining the Canadian family and it must be taken freely and openly,” he said, calling it “frankly, bizarre” that women were allowed to wear face veils while they swear their citizenship oaths.
Kenney said he doesn’t accept that it’s a religious obligation to wear the veil, explaining that when Muslim women perform the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca required by their faith, they are required not to cover their faces.
“It’s a cultural tradition, which I think reflects a certain view about women that we don’t accept in Canada. We want women to be full and equal members of Canadian society and certainly when they’re taking the citizenship oath, that’s the right place to start,” Kenney said in an interview on CBC News Network.

CANADA SAYS "LET'S DESTROY THE WORLD" .
Canada formally leaves Kyoto Protocol: minister - The China Post
Under the ever increasing tyrannical ,despotic and nazi like regime of Stephen Harper, the proven ANTI-CHRIST" , Canada has decided to withdraw from the Kyoto treaty, which was ratified to limit green house gases. Apparently, despite statements from a certain Canadian on this board, Canada doesn't care one iota about the environment.
Of course this withdrawal goes hand in hand with Canada's desire to destroy their own environment by getting oil from their oil sands.
As if that is not bad enough, Canada is pressuring officials in Washington to allow the building of a pipeline which will allow the delivery of their toxic sludge to parts of the United States.
Well if Canada wants to destroy their environment , that's one thing. Don't expect us to be the codependent culprits in this scheme.
And yes, go ahead sell it to China, see if we care.

By the way, I ate an apple yesterday and buried one of the seeds in the ground. So in essence, I planted a tree. I, one American , did more to help the environment than the whole of Canada.
It just goes to show , one American is more decent than 34 million Canadians.
