Montreal rioters torch police cars after Habs win

"Five police cars were set ablaze, completely ruined, another 10 were very badly damaged."

"One minute we were all hanging out and celebrating and then all hell broke out,''

"This was only Round One so they're really dreading what will happen if the Habs win, even though of course they want them to go all the way,"

The next round of the playoffs for Montreal begins Thursday against either the Philadelphia Flyers or the New York Rangers -- who play each other Tuesday night in a Game 7.
This is a unbelievable and you have to admit Americans where there too.

Please Help

And MeskDXB I gave you a hint already and I said Americans where there too. And this is the play offs.

CR.....you probably won't get an entire Canada section for just your news you post,but seriously,this can go in World News for those that get their panties in a bunch over inane stuff.
News is news no matter where it's posted.

CR, why can't you put your Canadian stories in the World News section? Canada is not part of the U.S., and I'm sure many Canadians would be offended by your acting like it is.

We don't have a Canada news section simply because it would get like one post a month.

I'm not a mod, I don't make that decision. However, I hardly think we need to make space with another whole forum just for Canada. Also I'm sure more people would read your threads about Canada if they were in the World News section rather than in their own little section.

I wouldn't have a problem with US News being changed to US/Canada News, but that does bring up a dilemma... Do we include Mexico too? Technically, the three countries that make up North America are Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. So should we make the forum "North American News"?

That really isn't a bad idea. If people from Canada and Mexico (do we even have anyone from Mexico on here?) are going to post news from their countries in U.S News then why not put it to a vote,see who on here wouldn't mind changing this section to that.

I believe very early on DF brought a good solution to which you said yourself would be a good idea. Then instead of letting it go you pulled this little gem out of your hat:

this is a Canada US only thing so you guys our out of line thinking its world news YOU WISH you were the world but Canadians is better than that.





What do you want? Do you want to be able post your Canadian news anywhere you please while the rest of us have to abide the mods wishes to use our own judgement when posting threads?
It isn't all about you CR. If you have a story about something that happened in Europe you'd post it in World News. Why can't you see that right now,without anywhere else to put it,that is where news stories about Canada should be?

It's not that big a deal. So CR posted something about Canada in the U.S. thread. Rather than coming down on him for it those who wish to respond should respond and those who do not wish to respond should not.

It seems our Canadian brothers and sisters are acting more and more like their neighbors in Detroit so maybe the post belonged in U.S. news.


How about we change the site to North American news? Since Mexico, The United States and Canada are all part of North America articles about all three countries could be included. The posts would still be overwhelmingly about The United States but not exclusively.

While I enjoy south park, that was crossing the line Prae. Why don't put your pride in your pocket, and if you want to talk about riots which broke out because of hockey.. do so. If not, then don't post.

With all the anti-canadian sentiment in here, it seems that this has to do with the NHL, which is.. *gasp*.. an AMERICAN league. And while it's a sport... RIOTING is not. If you want to "shoot" and get technical, this has everything to do with America. I realize you guys just want to give a canadian crap and distance yourself from it because you are bored and have nothing better to do.. but don't let that get in the way of what is really going on here.

Otherwise ya people could look at is as if all people want to do is bitch and run Canada down.. If the mods choice to make it US news why not Canada news to and what does it hurt.. Maybe it would draw more Canadians or just anyone for that matter to feel a need to post and not have to deal with the snippy ass comments about Canada and, "where are the donuts" shit.

I mean be fair.. and equal or change the headings is all..
I can see a valid point and if all the American had seen there was a Canadian News section and no American section... then who would have their nickers in a knot...

The idea to make U.S News into North American News was brought many times and it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
I agree fair is fair,but if one is to get technical about this,Canada is part of North America therefore calling it that would be fair. But as I pointed out way earlier in this thread,we don't have a section like that so people who want to post stories about other countries outside the U.S should put them in World News. If one goes back and reads this from the start,DF and myself were being very nice and agreeable about this then CR started getting extremely rude and swearing at us. Tell me Shorty,is this how you want people from Canada portrayed?

You seriously need to chill out and stop getting your boxers in a bunch over little things. The more you egg people on and provoke them the worse it's going to get.
So.....again,in the absence of a whole section to yourself to post Canadian news it's just best to put it in World News until the mods decide what to do.
And calling the mods teenagers and saying our numbers are bullying isn't going to move things along.
And honestly,you lost any sympathy with me and I think DF when you got nasty with the only 2 people who were on your side in this.
I don't care if people don't like me on here. Because when I log off of here,no one but Mike matters in my real life. I don't give a thought to anyone on here unless I'm logged in here.

AMERICAN league


What do you mean by American league. do you mean North Americian or a US? because in Canada we feel the NHL talent is watered down because there are to many teams. and 33% of NHL revenues came from Canadians who only have 6 team out of 24.

Hey we won the war against the U.S; you all should get over it.

What war was that? Please don't say the War of 1812. That one was a draw and settled nothing between the 2 countries except it served to keep the English from seizing our sailors and forced Europe to recognize us as a sovereign power.

As for 1812 the US tried to take us over and didn't so we won.

Maybe we should have an Irish Section.

It would be just as dirty-corrupt and funny as anywhere else.

Alas, the Yanks dominate the planet, the internet being no different.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe

In addition, people in countries such as Ireland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland), United Kingdom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom), Scandinavia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia) and the North Atlantic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic) and Mediterranean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean) islands, may routinely refer to "continental" or "mainland" Europe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Europe) (or simply "the Continent"), as a term for the main land mass.

exsqueeze me?!

you attacked us! and rightly had your asses handed to you even after the war was over.

much thanks, Colonel Jackson:thumbs:

In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
Fought the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
Wadn't night as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Well we looked down the river and we seen the British come
And there must've been a hubdred of 'em beatin' on the drum
Stepped so high and they began to sing
We stood beside the cotton bails and didn't say a thing

We fired our guns...

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Well we fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we took the powder off the 'gator lost his mind

We fired our guns...

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
Um pa pa pa um pa pa pa on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Whoopie whoopie get in line there boys

We fired our guns...
Yeah they ran through the briars...
Ha ha you can't catch me can't catch me there redcoat

I like the Irish section, paul, and I promise I'll post!
I also like a section where we can just post any old crap we feel like , stuff like "Canada is a state", the "US Sux", and "George Washington hated everybody", especially Canadians, and if it's good enough for GEORGE, well, it's good enough for ME.

we should just do away with the dollar bill, and the $5 too, while we're at it.

Let's do away with ALL our money and just use Canadian coins and dollars instead--the kind with pwetty pictures of maple leafs, an igloo, the Queen's ugly mug, or a beaver on it.

There would have to be an Annexation of state by state. We couldn't absorb all the debt at once.

i was think of how much money would be saved by replacing them with coins. coins last forever unless you put them on the train tracks, but the life span of a dollar bill is only like 18 months. and it would be easier on blind ppl.


that's the ticket! save money and help blind ppl! who can argue with that.....besides strippers of course;)

Get bent, moron.
