  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Joke that only Canadians would understand...

Peace.

Soooooo......Oiler fan, what HAPPENED LAST NITE EH ??!!:D Leaf's played a tough game on Friday nite vs. Jersey, even went to OT and still, the Oilers couldn't take advantage:p

Seriously tho, i do like watching the Oilers play, especially in the playoffs. Too bad your goaltending has went south - Salo couldn't stop a beach ball !! Methinks you guys need Cujo back:p

The Leafs won in 1967 last time...

I live in Edmonton, so I want to cheer for the Oilers. I really do. I just can't. They suck so bad. I used to cheer for the Flames, but.....eh. Canucks......I don't like thier uniforms, I want the yellow and black back. Vancouver should win the cup this year though. Leafs.....eh? Sick of 'em loosing. Sens....to corporate for my tastes (I don't even know why I think that, probably because they're called the SENATORS). I kind of like the Habs. Ya! The Habs! Nah....

GO JETS GO!

Oh, right...Toronto has an NHL team now, don't they? I thought they folded in the playoffs last year. :) Montreal is the only true hockey team in this country. Everyone knows that.

Besides, my son and I are baseball fans first. He's got a tremendous arm for a seven-year old, and he's already decided that he's going to be a Toronto Blue Jay. I like this idea, because baseball costs WAY less than hockey.

And he'll get paid lots, too. ;)

Yeah, my parents tried to get my to play baseball when I was younger too. and I was alright, but Hockey was just too good not to play for the rest of my life :) It's definately worth the money to play hockey, it teaches you so much more, so don't let your kids play baseball ;)

So what if you'll pay for a few years of univerisity with the money you spent on hockey, it's still better than standing in the baseball field and scratching yourself :D

Face it, everyone in Canada cheers for Canada's Team - THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS - remember Toronto is not only the heartbeat of Canada but it's the center of the hockey universe !!!

*looks around*

Anyone else want to break the news?

Toronto is NOT the hearbeat of Canada OR the center of the hockey universe. But only non-ontarians realize this. ;) I don't think I have ever cheered for the Leafs in my life, except maybe if they're the last Canadian team left in the playoffs...

normal canadian = everyone excluding the East cost provinces, including labrador, and quebec. Nunavut doesn't count as normal either ;)
okay Beanface, you didn't really define what a "normal canadian" is. what's normal to a vancouverite may not be normal to a torontonian. it's all relative you see. so please, enlighten us......give us the true definition of a "normal canadian". :cool:

TOP 10 REASONS TO LIVE IN ONTARIO
1. You live in the center of the universe
2. Your $400,000 Toronto home is actually a dump
3. You and you alone decide who will win the federal election
4. There's no such thing as an Ontario Separatist
5. Your grandparents sold booze to the States during Prohibition
6. Lots of tourists come to Toronto because they mistakenly believe it's a cool city
7. The only province with hard-core American-style crime
8. MuchMusic's Speaker's Corner - rant and rave on national TV - for a looney
9. Baseball fans park on your front lawn and pee on the side of your house
10. Mike Harris: basically a sober Ralph Klein
