Nemesis 0 Posted February 10, 2004 I was wondering how many Canadians know who the prime ministers are on our money. The Americans know them but do we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

removed 0 Posted February 10, 2004 Yup. Last year in social we had a weekly quiz on the Prime Ministers. We had to know their names, dates in office, and their parties. It was hard at first, but now I know them pretty good. (A couple of the one year Prime Ministers I can't remember but that's it.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a liar. come on you brought Stockwell Day what do you expect :-P. Oh poor ole Stockwell wasn't that Stocked well Ya I'm from the west, and Stockwell? What a moron. LOTB, Trudeau was an amazing Prime Minister. Ever hear of these? - Official Languages Act 1969 - Canadian Charter of Human Rights 1982 - Constitution Act (gave Canada full legal independence from Great Britain) 1982 That's what I call a great Prime Minister. Without him, Canada wouldn't be the sam country. What was wrong with him?? And don't say he alienated the west. Every Prime Minister has ignored the west in one way or another and look at how great we are doing now. Alberta is raking in the cash with the oil industry. hardy, har har. Very funny. So? We are WAY better then Eastern Canada! We are a country. We live together. No part of the country is better than another. Let's be civilized here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack_Bauer 1 Posted February 11, 2004 I don't think most Americans would know who's on our money. They are too distracted by the fact that the bills are all different colours . No offense intended. I guess we are the major Canadian members on the boards (well, can't forget Takara and Bolivar) since we've all achieved at least the rank of Lt. Commander. I think there are others but I don't think I've seen them post in a while.It's too bad that most of you joined after the hockey pool started. There are only 3 Canadians out of the 14 particpants and an American is winning! Hopefully I'll be able to catch him (I'm in second). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
