Rumorpile: Ford and UAW Talking About Building The Ranger In U.S. , Restarting Sales

New images really show it off... I love it... interior especially.

That would be passive aggresiveness that passes off as Canadian friendliness. LOL.   Although on the East Coast, Canadians there are truly friendly and sincere, the rest of the country runs on passive aggressive friendliness.  And I would guess that is where the great Canadian humour that Hollywood gets to enjoy via comedians like John Candy, Jim Carrey, Dave Foley, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Ryan Reynolds, and others stems from.  LOL I cannot defend what happens in France with this language thing, but I will defend the French language thing in Canada for French Canadians in Quebec to the bone.  There are MANY reasons for this.  And the British Anglos and the English Canadian Anglos are the culprit for this political issue Quebec always faces and will continue to face.  Although there isnt any problems amongst fellow Canadians regarding the French language in Canada anymore, the wounds run VERY deep from past Anglo supremacy forced upon French Canadians in the past.  I would share the same sentiments from your post Mr. David Felt.   

Having done so much driving coast to coast due to my son's Gymnastics from age of 5 to college before he retired in college. I would say the following: British Columbia is equal to the west coast in many ways till you take the Highway and head north in BC and hit the Yukon's and then you truly have an Alaska Conservative equal. Having not spent any time in the NW territories, I cannot answer but would suspect it is far more conservative due to sparse population and tight nit communities of both native Indians and other groups. Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba I find to mirror the U.S. mid-west and Texas. Antario and Quebec I find to be a mixed pot of southern politeness with backstabbing rudeness in some areas and others if your white to be very polite period. I did find in various cities some amazing multi-cultural city areas. I also hit up against the same French BS I hit when I was working in France. A very narrow mind set of society or a very liberal one that was more relaxing to how I was raised. Two sides of a coin. Have never been to Newfoundland and Labrador but would love to see the area. So, no comment on the folks there. NB, Prince Edward and Nova Scotia have been over all very polite and friendly when my wife and I visited about 5 years ago. Like the NE corner of the U.S., lots of friendly people and the occasional narrow-minded turd. If money was no object, would love to visit the rest of Canada including Nunavut and the NW Territories to explore and photograph the area. Would love to experience the drive over the Ice Highway too. So much of North America to see and yet so little time. Could the People Benefit from a single currency with a open free North America, meaning Canada, U.S. Mexico become the North American Union of States. SURE, but will it? NOT in OUR LIFETIME!!! Too many selfish, fascist pricks that hate society if it does not benefit them to allow such a Great Multi-Cultural Union. IMHO

I understand. And in some parts of Canada, the shytty extreme right ideologies have also krept in making Canada unrecognizable in those areas...   And ironically, those folk believe to be purely Canadian in thought and soul. But in reality, I have a suspicion its those British loyalist phoques from the US when the US became its own country that fled to live up north up here in Canada and they retained their shytty uptight British ways... And speaking of uptight... You are not wrong about British Columbia.  Victoria and Vancouver would be very loosey goosey and liberal, but some other parts of British Columbia would be stiff upper lipped.   But I am curious to know what you mean by that.   Where in the East Coast of Canada are you referring to because the stereotype of friendly Canadians is BECAUSE of the East Coast of Canada.  The most friendliest of people ANYWHERE in the world...  I would find your statement a little bit more bizarre that @trinacriabob's statement regarding British Columbia. If you are referring to Quebecois, well, I could see it because the French culture could be offensive to some, but...the Quebec people are SUPER friendly and probably the MOST liberal of ALL of North America.  OK...in the rural parts of Quebec, they could be rude because they would probably view somebody from the outside as an...outsider and they are known not to accept too easily.   But an outsider to them would also mean other French Quebecois from another part of Quebec, let alone an Anglo that doesnt speak French.  British Columbia is kinda like our California mixed in with Colorado. Per my observations.  I dont see Florida but Id like to see why you would think that @trinacriabob.   Im curious. Id like to see your point of view.  Now...Alberta would be hands down our Texas.  Same kind of friendliness but in a Canadiana kinda way of course.  But just as red-necky regarding many things.  And that British loyalty thing, yeah, Id like to believe its still strong in that province.   Although British Columbian Anglos would also have an affinitiy for that British Royals thing too.   Id like to know if you see it the same way I do regarding Alberta and British Columbia.    

I will explain.  Let me put some meat on its bones and do this a little later.  I had a feeling you might say something.  My comment was not meant to be negative, because they are not negative places.  It's meant to be relative.
