Is Australia or New Zealand all that different?
Personally, I believe both Australia and Canada are two of the greatest countries in the world. Ever. We have been allies since our beginnings, and the sun never sets upon our Commonwealth.

It's a quote from Romero, so you can be sure it's taken out of context. Just like they do in his prog "news" sources.

I have to be honest about my take on that "envy of the world" .. a sickening snobbish "superiority" thingy most Canadians have.
Having lived in other countries and in many different parts of Canada I find Canadians are in general an unlikeable smug lot, smug with no reason at all to be smug ... thinking their country is better than other countries when in fact it is a dull country. I find it the most boooooring country I have ever lived in or been in - and hate watching it become more so every day. I just keep to myself and a few chosen people, live my life and and rarely think in that area or I would be unhappy all the time if i did.
I live here ONLY 1. for family reasons, the little amount of family I have left I cherish, and 2. because I am a citizen (living in other countries as a non citizen which I have done for most of my life is always fraut with difficulties and insecurities). Life is tradeoffs, picking the best of bad choices at moments in time with family first, otherwise I would NOT live here. It is a very long way from a favorite and most certainly not an interesting country for me.

Canada is a shithole, much like Australia is also.
However, there are some differences...
Australia has one major advantage over Canada.
You don't live here.

I would prefer to read cc's explanation and the whole context around it, rather than spin from you or Herman..
She's an adult she's quite capable of doing that..
Or maybe she thinks this thread is tabloid style gossip and a response if beneath her.

Well, Canada is boring.
But not as boring as Australia.
Then again, we're not as interesting as New Zealand. Kiwiland rocks.
We're sort of on a par with the Cook Islands, I guess.
I have seen enough of cc's posts to know what she's all about. One cherry picked post doesn't change that.
As for the smug comment, that's how I feel about Torontonians and I grew up there.
Australia is better looking.
Australia is smarter.
Australia is older.
Australia does not have AMERICA glued to its arse!!!
We win!!!
There's no way cc would respond to this but I have no doubt she meant what she said. She's welcome to her opinion. It's actually a refreshing departure from her Islamic hatefest.
cc won't let her countrymen fight without her!!!
Australia may be better looking, but Canada has the sexier measurements.
Australia may be smarter, but Canada is wiser.
Australia may be older, but Canada has aged better.
Australia may not have AMERICA glued to its arse, but WE DO!!!
We win!!!
Our critters are deadlier!!
Our policians are dumber!!
We have professional asbestos removers.
You can go to the beach without wearing a coat!!!
VICTORY!!!
Our fritters are deadlier!!
Our politicians are prettier!!
We have professional asbestos installers.
You can go to the beach without wearing a swimsuit!!!
VICTORY!!!
Canada's flag is stitched on backpacks around the world, regardless of where the owner comes from!
Canada has thousands of lakes and no desert!
Canada has water that swirls down a drain in the proper direction!
WE ARE THE WINNERS!!
We have AC DC, you have Nickelback.
You have Dan Ackroyd, we have Russell Crowe.
You have Gigi Gorgeous, we have Dame Edna.
We have Gordy, you have Mel...er....that's a draw.
TRIUMPH!!!
AC/DC never had a successful run in Las Vegas; Céline Dion did!
We have Jim Carey; you have Yahoo Serious.
Your wildlife entertainers get eaten by wildlife; ours don't!
We have RW; you have, well, Gordy.
We're a six-hour plane ride away from the heart of the English-speaking world; you're half a world away!
VICTORY IS OURS!!!

I have no doubt we're not getting the whole context.
It's too bad cc won't respond, not that I blame. I find her candour about Islam a refreshing change from the garbage we're fed by the chattering class deniers.
I think it's pretty clear what she thinks of Canada.
It's funny how many times I've ask you to clarify your position on Islam to get no response.
Interesting...
Australia is too hot.
When the Abo's look like true niggers, you KNOW it's just too hot for white people!

I think it's pretty clear that other people are talking for her.
I've explained to you numerous times what Islam is all about. But, since you've forgotten again, I will remind you once again.
Islam is a despicable conquering ideology on par with Stalinism or fascism. It was created by a violent pedophile and is antithetical to civilized society. It is not a religion and religious protections as well as well as tax free status should be removed.
Australia has won the cricket, rugby, netball and hockey world cups. It has qualified for the soccer world cup.
Australia wins more Olympic medals than Canada...except for that biased "winter" snow fest.
Australia speaks English. Canada speaks American.
Australians can go for days without water. Canada WISHES they had less water.
Australia grows its own bananas.
This is getting embarrassing...Canada is being CRUSHED!!!
I've been racking my brain, trying to find even one thing that Canada excels at globally, and I pretty much came up empty...
However, there is one thing... The ability to convert Metric to Imperial measurements, and back.
Since we generally use Imperial measurements for many things, but are mandated at a Federal level to use Metric, many have become good at calculating without the use of a calculator.

They are no longer an extension of Britain in the Southern hemisphere.
Yup! They probably have as many Orientals as Canada does!

I watch Aussie Border Security, and the Chinks always try to smuggle in roadkill, and god knows what else.

I don't understand why the Chinese try smuggling meats from home into Canada. They can get it anywhere in Richmond, BC without risking a big fine.
Their chinkly faces get that chinkly surprised look when Border Security finds 20 pounds of raw meat roadkill hidden in their suitcases.
It must be "special" roadkill that they can't buy in the West.
Since it's not refrigerated, it must be half rotten by the time they eat it.
Chinks will eat anything.

I have to be honest about my take on that "envy of the world" .. a sickening snobbish "superiority" thingy most Canadians have.
Having lived in other countries and in many different parts of Canada I find Canadians are in general an unlikeable smug lot, smug with no reason at all to be smug ... thinking their country is better than other countries when in fact it is a dull country. I find it the most boooooring country I have ever lived in or been in - and hate watching it become more so every day. I just keep to myself and a few chosen people, live my life and and rarely think in that area or I would be unhappy all the time if i did.
I live here ONLY 1. for family reasons, the little amount of family I have left I cherish, and 2. because I am a citizen (living in other countries as a non citizen which I have done for most of my life is always fraut with difficulties and insecurities). Life is tradeoffs, picking the best of bad choices at moments in time with family first, otherwise I would NOT live here. It is a very long way from a favorite and most certainly not an interesting country for me.

Maybe she's sick of smug progtards wanting more Islamic vermin in the country. Nothing good will come od that. Anyone with drop of patriotism in them would be pissed about that.
There's no maybe. Have you even read it? cc makes it quite clear.
"I find Canadians are in general an unlikeable smug lot"
"It is a dull country"
"I find it the most boooooring country I have ever lived in or been in"
"Family first, otherwise I would NOT live here"
"It is a very long way from a favorite and most certainly not an interesting country for me."
Nothing there about progressives or Muslims.
I would prefer to read cc's explanation and the whole context around it, rather than spin from you or Herman..
She's an adult she's quite capable of doing that..
Or maybe she thinks this thread is tabloid style gossip and a response if beneath her.

The year we lived in Kazakhstan, they let us use a big beautiful house to live in for the contract..

Is it the weather in Australia that makes you wish you were there instead of Canada?
To some extent. Sure basked in Filippine weather. Oz gets much hotter than "moderate" Fils at times, and that is not a plus
But mainly I just find little to like about this country ... Spent much of my life in several very different parts of the US. Got badly spoiled. I miss the friendly folk, the doer attitude and the collective pride that I experienced throughout the US badly

But, for me home is where my loved ones..
And they are in Canada with extended family in Taiwan and the Netherlands.

We have an incompetent part time drama teacher at the helm right now making Canadians poorer. For now, Australia has the edge.
Ah...as much as I would love to take the point...our PM is a witless snob with no clue on what he and his party truly stand for.
They will be swept away in the next election, to be replaced by another witless union hack.
Dunno, Leo.
Seems to me both our countries have a lot going for them.
Their natural beauty.
Their extensive geographies.
Their lush landscapes.
Their fierce predators.
Their cuddly wildlife (yeah, we don't have koalas, but we do have Montreal women).
Their Aboriginal heritage.
Their own brand of comical bogans and hosers.

Is it a dry heat?
Spent many a week on different occasions in India when the mercury reached up to the low 50's. In the shade.
People would stay in their cars because that was the only place they had air conditioning. But not me. I was on an urban walkabout while everyone else stalled.
It varies.
Our weather ranges from tropical to desert.
Darwin has 2 seasons, wet and dry...further south we have the standard four seasons...mid 40's in summer.
It gets to 50 in remote desert places, but that is rare.

Canada Named 'Most Reputable Country' In Time For 150th Birthday
Happy 150th birthday, Canada — you're the world's most reputable country.
The Reputation Institute's latest survey of most reputable countries has given Canada a first-place finish, up from second place last year. Canada bumped last year's winner, Sweden, to third place, behind Switzerland.
In the six years the survey has been carried out, Canada has never ranked worse than second place.

"A country's reputation has a direct impact on tourism, its exports and foreign investment," Fernando Prado, a managing partner at the Reputation Institute, said in a statement.
"The striking thing about Canada is that the nation's reputation is equally strong both inside and outside its borders — which should be a source of pride on its 150th birthday."
The United States saw the largest decline among the 55 countries surveyed, dropping 10 spots to 38th, from 28th last year, something the RepTrak report blames squarely on U.S. President Donald Trump.
A larger number of respondents disagreed with the notion that the U.S. is "run by an effective government" (down 21.6 per cent), "has adopted progressive social and economic policies" (down 11.8 per cent), is an "ethical country with high transparency and low corruption" (down 11 per cent) and "is a responsible participant in the global community" (down 9.2 per cent).

It's venomous?
It's carnivorous?
No, its not carnivorous.
The male has a venomous spur in its hind legs.
The platypus is the most perplexing and complex mammal on the planet.
Looks inbred, maybe some genetic engineering, , venomous water cats is a lose point , just how toxic are these monsters?

QuoteDiocesan officials and academics knowledgeable about the Roman Catholic Church have revealed that sexual abuse by the pedophiles in the church is generally not discussed, and thus is difficult to measure. In 2014, the Vatican said 3,420 credible accusations of sexual abuse committed by priests had been referred to its institution over the past 10 years, and that 824 clerics were defrocked as a result.
However, a new investigation carried out in Australia has shed light on the damning practice of Catholic priests and nuns in the country. According to the report, the Catholic Church paid US$213 million to victims of sex abuse committed by priests in Australia over decades.
Proving how generous Australians are!!!

Newsflash.
It is WINTER in Australia.
The lad was undertaking a recovery session from his football game on the weekend, which requires them to walk and stand in the water to ease out muscle spasm. The water at this time of the year is COLD, and had the overall affect of numbing his ankles.
Sea fleas are an important part of the eco system, in that they feed from water borne carrion. The unfortunate lad hit a perfect storm...numbed by the cold, and standing near a swarm. The "bite" is so small as to largely go unnoticed, but swarms are large.
He'll make a full recovery.

Why would anyone stay in the water that long if they were getting chewed up? :crazy:
Newsflash.
It is WINTER in Australia.
The lad was undertaking a recovery session from his football game on the weekend, which requires them to walk and stand in the water to ease out muscle spasm. The water at this time of the year is COLD, and had the overall affect of numbing his ankles.
Sea fleas are an important part of the eco system, in that they feed from water borne carrion. The unfortunate lad hit a perfect storm...numbed by the cold, and standing near a swarm. The "bite" is so small as to largely go unnoticed, but swarms are large.
He'll make a full recovery.
Thank goodness.

He didn't take a glance and notice blood on his feet and lower legs? I find it hard to believe he didn't notice before it got that bad.
He was in moving sea water. The "wounds" are, quite literally, pin pricks.
It looks a lot worse in the picture because the bleeding has mingled with the water to make it look like a massive attack...when it was wiped clean and bandaged, he just had a lot of small pricks.
A lot like Canada, really.

It looks very bad, which is why I find it hard to believe he didn't notice before it got to that point.
Have a great time in Australia, just stay outta any wooded area and for Christs sake stay outta the water the lice swim in colonies :laugh3: :laugh3:

I'm surprised he lived as long as he did.
Ya. I couldn't watch the kid one ... having lived in Florida where I learned how fast gators can accelerate from a dead stop. I'm suspect crocks are at least equally as fast
In fact, saw an old flick of a fast horse vs gator .. standing start for 50 feet. Guess who got to the 50 ft mark first.

Crocs are a lot more aggressive than gators. Usually they are.
That is my understanding also
Mostly gators in Florida but there are some salt , or rather brackish, water crocks on the East Coast and they are bad news for anyone near them
Some of the picnicking we did in Florida parks makes me shiver now that I know how fast gators are off the line. Later, got to see one take off from a water hole from a distance and it was scary quick on the draw. They poop out after 60 or so feet but accelerate very fast off the line

I go to Florida every winter to play golf. Alligators are ubiquitous throughout the state and they are impressive sprinters. I have yet to see a croc in the sunshine state. And I am okay with that.
Crocs are pure evil, and Australian saltwater crocs are supreme amongst them. They grow to massive size, and the pressure of their jaws is unbelievable.
However, they are bigger and heavier than gators, with shorter legs, so out of water they are reasonable cumbersome in comparison. Not that I'd want to put it to the test...but virtually all crocodile attacks here occur in water or near the water's edge.
We also have freshwater crocodiles but they are much smaller. They nest on land, and are reasonably timid unless you stumble upon their nesting site. They can be blindingly fast.
Good info Brick, thanks

You won't see crocks except in East Coast brackish (diluted salt) waters.
Golf rule for Florida > Do not go into pond to hit ball from edge. Most every pond has a gator and most ponds are not clear water
A Florida Cracker" friend took us out to fish for big mouth bass. I casted a lure with lots of large treble hooks on it. I had about a beauty 5 pounder on the line .. tail-walking on top of the water like a pro to throw the hook .. friend said he saw the wash of a gator following it and said "if you want to see a small gator up close, let out some line .. I did and out of nowhere a small gator grabbed the bass and got hooked .. I was able to slowly play it in for about 1/2 hour or more after tiring it. It was about 5 ft long.
He put it on its back and and rubbed its belly and it went to sleep, laffingly telling us that the "rub a gators belly and he will fall asleep" trick is bunk ... that on their backs the blood / brain mix is thrown off and it will die unless it rights itself before passing out. The belly rub is show only. It went to sleep and of course we put it upright and back in the water long before damage was done .. . but not before he talked me into rubbing its belly.
So I can honestly say that I caught a gator with a spinning rod & reel and light test line
Rub anyone's belly and they will go to sleep!!!
lol ... my guy gets turned on .... then, anything including just breathing turns him on
Damn. No effort required...lucky girl.
True. I am lucky. I know and appreciate that
Then, he is lucky in that area also, eh? :icon_wink:
Clearly!!!

That was the Los Angeles Alligator Farm that existed from 1907 until 1953.
//http://mashable.com/2015/07/30/alligator-farm/#.Vp7sQ.ZkEqU
The farm was moved to Buena Park in 1953, where it was renamed the California Alligator Park. It finally closed in 1984.

But it's generally cheaper and easier to just fly to New Zealand. Sydney-Queenstown is a 3 hour flight, which is less time than driving to the Australian ski fields from Sydney or Melbourne. There are more and better ski options over there, though Australian resorts tend to be bigger, with gentler slopes that are better for learning. You consistently get a lot more powder in NZ, and their ski fields are generally above the tree line. Snowfalls in Australia can be a bit hit-and-miss.
Camels!

Our camels can go alpine skiing.
Can yours?

Canada sucks. There's really nothing at all we excel at, nothing that sets us apart globally... Nothing.
We're like the worst of both worlds...
Oh, and most of this country, although large, is a frozen, barren wasteland/shithole.
