Confirmed: Brazil faces its worst economic plunge in 25 years
Analysts expect Brazil's economy to contract by 2.95% this year after contracting by 3.71% in 2015, marking the biggest drop in economic output in 25 years, the Central Bank said on Monday. The first survey of analysts released this year shows that private sector economists expect the inflation rate to hit 6.87% in 2016. Read full article

Economy catches Canada flat-footed, even though it was under the stewardship of a conservative government for ten years. But there isn't much point in playing Monday morning quarterback. “A decade ago, Canada set out to become an energy superpower. Now, it enters 2016 riding down one of the world’s most battered petro-currencies...In the 45 years since Canada ended its currency peg to its largest trading partner…no dollar depreciation has been this bad for this long

Used to tell all and sundry that everyone should adopt one, as they're usually house-trained and speak a kind of English. Further, they make a nice buffer zone for Canadians from central America, it's the only reason Canadians are so tolerant. The Canadian dollar was at an all-time high of US$1.10 at the end of 200.
Canadians are tolerant because that's their only choice.

Jan 07th, 2016 - 02:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0“The USA never invaded Canada.” Like I said, if you knew your history, which is about as comparable as Argentineans knowledge of their history. Check out the War of 1812; “The Battle of Queenston Heights was the first major battle in the War of 1812 and resulted in a British victory.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Queenston_Heights. “…a large-scale US attempt to capture Montreal was repulsed in November 1813. …while the British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the United States and mounted large raids in the later stages of the war. …In September 1814, the British won the Battle of Hampden, allowing them to occupy eastern Maine, and the British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed them to capture and burn Washington, D.C.. ”
You tread lightly, Canadians are the only nationality that goes to bat for you. Take a look around, there isn't any other nation that I know of that does that. But they certainly wouldn't put up with your BS, and would for sure knock you on your ass.

Canada must do what we ask and support us wholeheartedly as they should since we provide most of your income and all of your defence.

Jan 07th, 2016 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Apparently you don't know your history as I have just had to school you, so don't try and bluff you your way out of your profound ignorance. While there are many things both nations agree on there have been many occasions where Canada has not agreed. “…Diefenbaker refused nuclear arms for Canada ..and hesitated to back Kennedy during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. …By 1965, however, relations had deteriorated significantly as Prime Minister Lester Pearson and Canadians found it difficult to give the US the support it demanded during the Vietnam War. By 1967 the Canadian government openly expressed its disagreement with American policies in Southeast Asia. A nationalist movement demanded that American influence be significantly reduced. ..Relations ...were strained. It was evident that the government of Pierre Trudeau and the administration of Ronald Reagan perceived international events from a different perspective….When the Americans extended the war to Iraq in 2003, Canada, under Prime Minister Jean Chretien, refused to take part in the new campaign.”
”The War of 1812 ... fought by the United States of America against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, its North American colonies and its Native American allies. …With the majority of its land and naval forces tied down in Europe fighting the Napoleonic Wars,…In Upper and Lower Canada, British and local Canadian militia victories over invading US armies became iconic and promoted the development of a distinct Canadian identity, which included strong loyalty to Britain. Today, particularly in Ontario, memory of the war retains its significance, because the defeat of the invasions ensured that the Canada would remain part of the British Empire, rather than be annexed by the United States. In Canada, numerous ceremonies took place in 2012 to commemorate the war, offer historical lessons and celebrate 200 years of peace.

Nope.

A few months ago he stated that the PT was a 'minority party' ...Unfortunately for him, totally wrong ;
The fact is that, of the 29 political parties in Brazil the PT is the 2nd largest ; Only second to the PMDB. If one considers the number of Congressmen, of Senators (their leader in the Senate is now in prison due to corruption), governors and mayors affiliated to the PT, plus the fact that they have more constituents under their direct rule, than the PMDB, they hardly qualify as a minority party. Not to mention fatty Dilma, the pseudo-president, whom, along with Lula, Twinkletoes defends tooth and nail.
When confronted with his bs, he became an aggressive little pussy and said something to the effect that what he meant was the PT was a minority party because it (alone, I presume) did not have a majority in Congress, needing the PMDB for this......Reasoning and logic are not his strong points. Not that he has any, other than being a twat.

Nobody claims it wasn't British, what is incorrect is your statement that there was no Canada. When the name was in use before the Europeans had arrived, and was adopted by all the inhabitants and used in the name of two of the colonies that were invaded by the US.
It has been verified from six sources including the US army that there was a Canada, by the use of the word Canada or Canadian. www.history.army.mil/books/amh/amh-06.htm United States Army Center of Military History. “…this mission has meant recording the official history of the army in both peace and war, while advising the army staff on historical matters.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Center_of_Military_History

Description of Begging the Question
Begging the Question is a fallacy in which the premises include the claim that the conclusion is true or (directly or indirectly) assume that the conclusion is true. This sort of “reasoning” typically has the following form.
Premises in which the truth of the conclusion is claimed or the truth of the conclusion is assumed (either directly or indirectly).
Claim C (the conclusion) is true.
This sort of “reasoning” is fallacious because simply assuming that the conclusion is true (directly or indirectly) in the premises does not constitute evidence for that conclusion. Obviously, simply assuming a claim is true does not serve as evidence for that claim. This is especially clear in particularly blatant cases: “X is true. The evidence for this claim is that X is true.”

Areas of Eastern Northern America were known at the time as Upper and Lower Canada and in some cases there is reference to Canadian Militia...in reality a lot of the combatants were also North Americans that had been enticed from South of the Border with cheap land etc...
Canada did not exist at that time as a separate political entity nor was the whole of the area referred to as Canada...

Jan 10th, 2016 - 04:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What are you trying to prove ...That Canada existed as a country in 1812...?
It didn't ...the landmass was the British North American territory...
Your mention of the correct term...The Canadas is a clue....
”At the end of the 18th century, the population of the seven colonies of British North America (Lower Canada, Upper Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, St. John Island, and Cape Breton Island) totalled approximately 390,000 inhabitants, not including the aboriginal peoples. In addition to the 200,000 inhabitants of French origin who had settled in the St. Lawrence Lowlands (now Lower Canada), there were 140,000 British settlers: 70,000 in the Maritimes, 25,000 in each Canada, and some 20,000 in Newfoundland. In the West, still a largely uncharted region, there were probably about 40,000 inhabitants. The residents of Upper and Lower Canada would now have to cope with the difficult beginnings of linguistic duality.”
Is that simple enough for you to understand...two colonies were known as the Canadas...
You try to give the impression that the British North American colonies were known as Canada....it is perfectly clear that is not the case....
I am also not quite sure why you have capitalised Dependencies are you trying to mislead us into believing this only represented the British North American Territory...?
It doesn't it refers to all British dependencies...

The same as the term Americans was recognized prior to the Declaration of Independence. It was British officials who first called the colonists “Americans”.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_(word)#History. So like Canada or Canadian these words were in common parlance, long before any formal declarations. As is substantiated by your own archives.

Who chose to hold on to that definition until 1948, long after the Act of Confederation.” And “The term Canadian, predates 1867. ” Which I have subsequently proved through your own archives and Jefferson's use of the word Canada.

One small problem, your argument is faulty, all I have indicated is what American historical archives and Thomas Jefferson called the colonies.

#24; ”In Upper and Lower Canada, British and local Canadian militia victories over invading US armies“ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812
”Although the United States was officially at war with Great Britain, more than half of the British forces were made up of Canadian militia.

“or the wretched conceit of a liar, in supposing himself clever enough to invent stories so ingenious that they shall, for any time, impose on people for the truth, and the still grosser folly in imagining, as he must do, that the world will, without investigation and analysis, take for granted anything he chooses to assert that world more shrewd, more cunning, and as prying as himself what a conceited ass must the liar be! How superior over others in cunning must he not believe himself! What fools must he not suppose the rest of mankind!”
CHARLES WILLIAM DAY, The Maxims, Experiences, and Observations of Agogos
Washington had expected the largely American population of Upper Canada to throw off the “British yoke” as soon as its army crossed the border. This did not happen. Lured northwards by free land and low taxes, the settlers wanted to be left alone. Thus the British and Loyalist elite were able to set Canadians on a different course from that of their former enemy. And the growing belief that they, the civilian soldiers, and not the First Nations and British regulars, had won the war - more mythic than real - helped to germinate the seeds of nationalism in the Canadas. Canada owes its present shape to negotiations that grew out of the peace, while the war itself - or the myths created by the war - gave Canadians their first sense of community and laid the foundation for their future nationhood.
