And another Newbie
[font=Verdana]Hi all . Did some browsing for forums where I could do some shamless promotion (I'll behave LOL), and wow a Canadian Forum, Cool! Presently living on the East Coast, have been here since 1984. Been here and there and lived in the USA as well. Looking forward to reading all kinds of neat stuff.[/font]

Reason for my nic, I tried the Swiss way of Canada, it was taken, so I improvised...I thought..

ROFLMBO
isn't that how the Native Americans spelled Canada? "Kanada" or was it "Kanata"?
Oh, And Welcome to CKA!
JayRoc @ Mon Jan 22, 2007 4:38 pm
Kanada is correct....
Kanata is one of the few Canadian cities where they have yet to play solid Hockey!

Hello to you aswell. Nice to meet ya all !
Can you believe I'm doing this argh....history lesson (yes I copy and paste)
You are absolutely right Dosenbier
The origin of the name "Canada" comes from the expedition of explorer Jacques Cartier up the St. Lawrence River in 1535. The Iroquois pointing out the route to the village of Stadacona, the future site of Quebec City, used the word "kanata," the Huron-Iroquois word for village. Jacques Cartier used the word Canada to refer to both the settlement of Stadacona and the land surrounding it subject to Chief Donnacona.

Here? Oh I'll give you the summary of this site Everything is the Liberals' fault, Muslims are all terrorists and never click on a link embedded in a post from a guy named hwacker as it might be gay porn.
I came to this site attracted by the soi-disant rules that are posted. Ignore them - they are not enforced. This is not the civilized forum I sought with the exception of about a half-dozen posters:
HaRDY posts rarely but when he does it is well thought and presented.
Lily is a kind lady
. When the other posts make you despair for humanity, look to hers to remember people are not all vile.
Oh if you are of a minority group - HIDE IT. Thre is a lot of hate on this site.
Firecat, you've made three posts in the last two days, and all three have been bitching about this site. Leave already.
Welcome, kanadaka, some of us quite enjoy ourselves here without getting all whiney.

The site is fine - it works very swell. Not the site's fault the people are so unpleasant
Notice I've not been around much blue_nose? I am on a different site. Much higher standard of discussion - no name-calling, people posting intelligently.
Sorry if you don't like having the shortcomings of your little bunch of friends mentioned. You're the guys who trashed a woman who died from taking part in a radio contest and even labelled it worthy of a "Darwin Award." I decided that day this was not the forum for me - the people are utterly lacking in compassion. and are worse than the ones they condemn as savages (those are the Muslims, according to them)
Are we sure that this is not FatB putting us on again. LOL Well just in case this is not a put on, here is my usual greeting.
I think you are now aware of the cross reference of good folk and loonie toons you will be online with. Have Fun!
Welcome to the CKA Zoo.
What kind of an animal are YOU?
If your here to have fun,
This site's number one,
so welcome from your Bud who is Blue!

He wouldn't have been alive anymore if he named himself that,
Hi, welcome.
I'm the resident Psychotic Patriotic "CANADA OR DEATH" Left-Wing Hockey fan.
Enjoy your stay. Remember, anything Anti-Canadian or Separatist spoken from you does not hold me responsible for any crime what-so-ever if I kill you and throwing your body in a ditch for your statements.
Um... My friend Firecat seems to have had a breakdown.

Silly Firecat.
Ignore the folks who have breakdowns. Righties have tantrums over the Lefties and leave. And Lefties have tantrums over the Righties and leave.
Draaaaaaamaaaa.....
So, quick recap,
Enjoy CKA,
No Anti-Canadianism
No Supporting of Seperation of any province
And Pray to the God of Canada once an hour to forgive you of your UnCanadian thoughts.
Do these, and Mr. Canada won't kill you.
I mean, uh.... Bad things won't happen.....
Enjoy CKA! We are all insane!
-Mister Eh. Canada, The Third. (III)
Long Live Canada!
