In addition to the American Revolution, you lost four straight elections.

Responding to one of my posts over at Canadian Republic, some constitutional monarchist and Canadian loyalist (who sounds an aweful lot like a self-proclaimed “proud member of the Orange Lodge” I had been debating at Free Dominion) left the following love-letter in my comments box:
——————————————–
Yes, get him [me] a green card, INS!
Which is, Mr. Vere? Do you want a green card, and the chance to move down there? Or do you want to turn us into a complete clone of America?
The first step to getting a green card, Mr. Vere, Ms. Shaidle, Albertadude, Adam Yoshida, and all the rest of you traitorous “conservative” (not really) Canadian bloggers, is to apply. Tell them how much you hate your homeland, tell them how much you idolize America, tell them how you’d be willing to take a bullet for Uncle Sam. Fight for Uncle Sam in a foreign war, then maybe, just maybe, you’ll be granted citizenship, if you come home not in a box. Or promise to be as talentless a hack as your fellow traitor Mark Steyn, and maybe they’ll let you in to write neocon agitprop! (Don’t worry; you’re more than half-way there already!)
BTW, you criticize the U.N. (which I don’t like either, incidentally) for being “basically a coalition of banana republics, terrorist states, and tinpot dictatorships” and then say “the reality is that the US (a Republic) did the right thing in taking charge”. But since you love republics so much, why is one republic and member of the U.N., the U.S., taking charge necessarily preferable to coalitions of various kinds of republics (banana, terrorist, tinpot dictatorship – almost none of these are monarchies, after all), including free republics such as the same nation you wish to be in charge, the U.S.? What does America’s being a republic have to do with anything, in this case?
And if the American revolution was a good thing, and one Canada should emulate, in your opinion, then why is it bad if some countries change governments continually through revolutions? You contradict yourself, when you support revolution as a legitimate means of changing forms of government, on the one hand, yet see political stability as a desirable goal, on the other!
BTW, should America’s “Coalition of the Willing” members Great Britain and Australia dump their monarchy, too, or just us Canucks? After all, their having the monarchy, just as we do, hasn’t stopped them from having the sort of foreign policy you like – whereas our government does differently – so is the problem really the monarchy, or is it just that you don’t like what Chretien and now Martin have done, foreign-policy-wise, since 9/11/01?
Get your green cards and get out, all of you! Frig, much as I loathe my nation being flooded with all manner of foreign subhumans, whether clit-removing ragheads or dog-eating coolies or crack-gang violent homeys, at least some of them actually like the country which has let them in, in contrast to you traitors – I’m tempted to vote Grit to continue completely unbridled immigration, just to offset your influence in Canada by importing a new populace, at least some of which will actually be grateful to their new home…
(And in case you read this, MWW, I said “my nation”, and meant it; your people lost a half millennium ago, deal with it.
You too, Mr. Levantine; not all of us are shabbos goyim…)

Does this explain why Canada’s Progressive Conservative Party, until it merged with the Canadian Alliance just prior to the last election, had lost practically every election to the Liberal Party in the last fifty years?
