I was just thinking about something in this line, Canadians are a lot like Americans but they act just this tiny bit different so they can say they're not like them at all. It really is as if Canada exists just to not be American or something like that.
At least that's impression I always get, which could be wrong of course. Maybe I'm missing some sort of cultural beauty (apart from "they're nice") of Canada or something.

Americans living in the Northeast and Canadians are pretty similar, not too much of a difference there. However, Americans living everywhere else, especially the South, are considerably different. For the most though Americans and Canadians are pretty similar but not the same.

Well the first time (1920) we had to fight for our independence so the fact that we helped you in the process was just a by-product. Lloyd George was stupid enough to believe the Bolsheviks would stop at Poland.
The Battle of Britain was a mistake though. Shouldn't have done that but then again our government was located in London so we kinda fought for our own well-being too.

Well we are old enemies despite meeting on a battlefield and fighting each other only once in history.
But at least from the 19th century onwards the Brits worked against first the idea of a Polish state.

>>60550219
>implying
Your contribution to the war in Poland was 1 unsuccesful air raid. You only really acted once Hitler started blobbing into France and Netherlands aka dangerously close to your shitty island - which was inevitable anyway because muh Elsass-Lothringen. Then you happily gave away the entire East to the Ruskies. And even though we fought and died in the defense of your country, you refused to invite us to the victory parade in an effort to appease Stalin.
"Perfidious" Albion didn't come from nowhere. Never, ever trust a brit.
>>
>>60551020
Well Churchill was at least better than FDR. He had some (not a lot but some) honor although in the end he still took the role of Neville Chamberlain only he was appeasing Stalin and not Hitler (Alec Douglas-Home called him out on that). It's nice that they allowed our government to remain in London and General Adrian Carton de Wiart was one of the greatest ally of Poland.
And that's about it because of course politically they mostly worked against us and many of our politicians were stupid enough to agree on the role of the cannon fodder. But even worse was our government in 1939 that paid no attention to the eastern border and constantly tried to sign a pact with Great Britain. They were refusing all the time until one day they didn't so that Hitler would attack us and not France. Beck was an idiot of epic proportions.
Backstabbing an ally seems alien to us but that's how countries stay in power. We need to be more opportunistic like we were during WWI.

It was all about Germany, Soviet Union clearly broke the guarantee as well. No war declaration against them. Good job throwing away not only your empire but all European empires for an unfullfilled promise resulting in Communists ruling half of Europe for almost 50 years.

'in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence, and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty's Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power. They have given the Polish Government an assurance to this effect.

I may add that the French Government have authorised me to make it plain that they stand in the same position in this matter as do His Majesty's Government.'
>>
>>60551359
I just don't get why people think removing yourself from a vote is a good idea. If you ever want to import or export literally anything from continental Europe, you'll need to comply with EU regulations anyway. Except this time you have no say in what laws they enact at all. Britain will effectively end up with an organization they have no say in dictating the standards of their products.

We should know from the start that the Brits have no idea what's going on in our part of Europe. That's why Lloyd George's policy in 1920 could've doomed the whole Europe. France was more of a natural ally but it was still weak in the late 30s. I don't understand why we were such good allies all things considered. We're too goddamn nice.
>>
>>60551408

See, this kind of shit is why we're struggling to hold a union together. Considering that Scotland houses our nuclear weapons, a large proportion of our military (including a fuckton of special forces training grounds/recruitment/population), and most of our oil industry, it's best not try and eject them from the United Kingdom.

If we should kick anyone out of the United Kingdom, we should at least force these assholes to have a referendum in the hopes they'll leave

We entered the EU because our politicians at the time thought it'd be good for trade, and didn't realise they'd actually have to comply with workers rights, and international law, and actually deporting hate preachers correctly so they can't fucking sue the state for being awful at it's job.

Essentially it's making it difficult for incompetent people in powerful positions to do their job, so words like 'sovereignty' and 'patriotism' are used to make it seem like wanting some valid input into daily life should be a hanging offense.

Case in study, Michael gove. Put up to deal with education, has notoriously low IQ yet starts banging on about how he knows what's best for education, and genes decide all in life, we are where we are meant to be. That problem was solved by removing any article from the internet that mentions the former/the two items in conjunction, but not before it caused a furore.
