Received this from Dewey boy and I think he is way out of line with this chit.


Hey, Yankee, this is Dewey from “AR” just sending you a little message concerning hunting in MY country, Canada.



Simply put, loudmouth Texan assholes like you and any of your family are NOT welcome here for ANY reason, now or in the future. Make all of the ignorant comments on “AR” that your infantile psyche allows you to, I do not care.



BUT, be aware that this is NOT merely a rant, it is a warning of the fact that you and your kind are NOT wanted here and will be confronted and sent home if you do intrude on MY country’s soil.



If, you are wise, you will heed this as many people here hold the same opinions of your kind that I do and will use any means to boot your ass from our Canada.



Sincerely, Dewey


Even the rocks don't last forever.

Dewey has a right to his thinking and views, but they certainly are not representative of all Canadians, or even a majority.

I'm a "born" Canadian (It will soon be 76 years ago)and I may not like "loudmouth Yankees", but then neither do I highly esteem "loudmouth Canadians".

If I've learned anything the hard way over those three-quarters of a century, it is that no nationality or ethnic group owns more egotism than another. We all have our share. In fact, TOO MUCH!! All have a common ancestry... we belong to the human race with it's egotism, pride and self-centered interests at the expense of other's well being.

Out of control egotism is typified in places like Somalia. On the personal level it often results in broken homes, broken marriages and ruined lives of children as well as adults.

It's true (if this is Dewey's concern), that if one country exploits another for it's own advantage and benefit, with little concern for the welfare of the citizens of the country exploited, then that is one of the greatest evils that can happen to humanity. And history confirms that to be a common human tragedy.

That's why all of humanity is characterized as "sinful" and in need of redemption.

BTW, my wife was born in the USA and is a US citizen and a Landed Immigrant! Also, my paternal grandmother was an American "Yankee". And, I've many friends "south of the border".

So, Crazyhorse, NO! Dewey's feelings are his own. There may be some "extreme" views of that nature found among some Canadians, but they are certainly NOT representative. I've lived in Central Canada, including Quebec (I'm bilingual), and the Maritime Provinces. I think I'm familiar enough with their views to say that they are not generally negative toward Americans. After all, many have emigrated to the US from those areas.

Then, the USA is our most important trading partner. And, we are mutually dependent militarily for the security of our very extensive borders.

Also, I've a son and daughter in law who live and work in the West (Saskatchewan). And, yet, a grandson and wife who live and work in Calgary. If such an anti-American attitude were prevalent in those areas, they certainly would be aware of it... it's never been mentioned to us that such is the case.

Yeah, it's true, we have some beefs with our American friends, who sometimes give a "superior-to-you" attitude, and we oft-times disagree with the Texas' "we're very right, you're wrong" attitude, especially in politics.
But hey, that's democracy, and folk have the freedom in a democracy to lean more to the right or left. Texans tend to see Canadians as "socialists". That's offensive, especially when it's been demonstrated over and over, that Americans, generally, know so very little about Canada, except that it's "one of the States up north some where".

To a certain measure, Dewey is making a valid point, except his extremism tends to discredit the rest of us in our view that Americans would be better served if they treated us as equal partners.

Canadians have benefited greatly from American ingenuity and entrepreneurial skills. On the other hand, America has also greatly benefited from what some Canadians have contributed to the world, such as the Banting-Best discovery of insulin in 1922. I think it's the failure of the US educational system, including it's universities, to teach about the rest of the world, including Canada, that grates on many other nationalities, including Canadians at times.

This was not intended to be a lecture, but it may cause some reflection nonetheless.

That's my take on your question.

Thanks for your comments, because on the two trips my wife and I have made to Canada and all the Canadians I have worked with down here in Texas were to a person, friendly easy going people that were fun and interesting to be around.

Dewey is certainly entitled to his opinion and attitude, but for him to claim that ALL Canadians feel the way he does toward Americans is not just wrong from my experience but basically a flat lie.

My wife and I will never forget our trips to Newfoundland and Alberta and the trips thru New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and Nunavut.

We still tell folks about how clean and beautiful Calagary and Edmonton are/were in comparison to many U.S. cities we have been in.

We are hoping to return to Canada in the next couple of years, and the various provincial tourism bureaus do not seem to have a problem welcoming Americans with open arms.

I was born in New Brunswick, and received most of my education there. We've (my wife and I) also lived in Nova Scotia. Of course, we've traveled to and from PEI and Newfoundland.

Yes, the people "down east" are renowned for their gracious hospitality. And, there has been an intimate historical connection with the New England states. My dad, who was a commercial fisherman, often sold his "catch" in Maine which ended up in Boston. Our sports were very much influenced by the Boston Celtics and Red Socks. (That was long before Toronto had the Bluejays or Raptors). Of course, the Maple Leafs were our hockey team.

While we lived in Quebec, we knew of many Quebecers who travelled to the States, and many who spent some "winter time" in Florida. Florida was a main venue for "les Canadiens".

Now, in Ontario since 1975, we know for certain that the Province of Ontario, which historically represents the epitome of Canadiana (many from the West will not like THAT statement--even though factually true), has very close ties with the USA as it borders on several States and a lot of traffic goes north and south by auto, transport and the airways. Ontario is very dependent on trade with the US and Americans are always welcome as tourism is a major source of employment and income.

Not a few, but MANY Americans (even from Texas) hire guides in Ontario's vast hunting areas for moose, bear, deer, wolf, ducks, geese, grouse. etc., etc., etc.

So, whenever you feel like it, come to our great province to explore it's natural resources in wildlife and beauty.

When I first started to hunt bear in this province, I hired an outfitter-guide. I did it for eight seasons. That's where I learned about baiting bear. All the other hunters in his camp were Americans from New York State, Penn, Tenn, Virginia, etc, and some from Europe. I was the only Canadian except for a friend or two of mine. Every year, this outfitter has many of these hunter return, some for the 6th or 10th time!

I was in camp with him one year with 19 Americans, plus some of their wives! They all got bears! We had a great time together!

Best to you.

Well this certainly makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about my BC goat hunt! Big Grin

I worked side by side for a year in New Zealand with a Manitoba native. Even went up to his neck of the woods a couple of times to hunt bear.

I worked a year (2007) on the MT/AB border. I went into AB DAILY (groceries, emenities, etc).
While living up there, we made quite a few border crossings into Sask with dogs in tow. Those Sask farmers were the amongst the most gracious folks I've ever met. A knock on the door and a friendly inquiry with a handshake was all it took to access some of the best hungarian partridge ground in North America.

I never once met a Canadian that wasn't a great person (minus a few drunk Indians in bars). I have always found them to be the friendliest folks.

Too bad Dewey feels this way about Texans and "Yankees" in general. Guess I should start judging all Canucks by the way those drunk TROGS were in that little Manitoba pub.

Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to returning to BC. Been awhile since I was there (skiing at Whistler a few years back). I know my outfitter is looking forward to our visit. Smiler

Well I have only been to Canada one time, but as I stated in another post, I have had contact with Canadian Law Enforcement and Canadian Military Personal in some if the schools I have either taught or been to, and I had contact with the members of the RCMP that were assigned to the traviling horse show called the Canadian Ride, that performed at our State Fair several years in a row.

I have never met, in person a Canadian I did not like, there was one Border Guard, that did try to give a lady I was hunting with some Drama over her rifle permit, she was hunting with a Blaser and had switched from a wood to a plastic stock, not realizing the serial number was different, but between me, and a very good looking red haired Canadian female Customs Officer, we got things straightened out.
The Problem was my friends fault [I did not know she had switched stocks and not ammended her entry permit] but it was straightened out in less than 20 minutes.]

I would not hesitate to go to Canada tomorrow.

As long as Dewey did not know I was comming... shocker rotflmo cuckoo jumping patriot

In my experience, a typical, intelligent, genuine, pleasant to be around Canadian.

I think it unfortunate that there are ".458 only" types that I haven't met and been able to visit with on some level. I think I am missing out on a valuable cultural or social or outdoorsman experience.

Dewey I believe would be a pleasure for someone like me to listen to speak of his/ her/ its life experiences but taints itself with its biased xenophobic and ignorant internet rants.

Sadly, and I am being serious, I think it is clear that Dewey is mentally ill. I would not get terribly offended by anything he says.

I too have received a similar PM from Screwey with his home address and a personal invitation to a donneybrook. Really scared me.......not. I agree with tendrams.

That's pretty funny. I lived in Alberta for 5 years returning back home a couple of years ago. I spent a lot of time in BC too and have hunted both places. To a person those I met, worked with and hunted with were top notch folks more than welcoming this American. Not a one was a grumpy old man.

I await such pm from Dewey

I am sure the mounties will consider him an unfit person to hold a PAL or FAC once they have sight of such ramblings and threats he is sending around the world

Dewey please pm me ASAP with your threats

As I have said before I will invite and pay for Iranian, Chinese, jewish and Russian friends to hunt in BC as my paid guests and there is nothing he can do about it

Just a loud mouth shooting 700 nitro blanks

Not Canadian but have relatives that live there
and deal with canadians on a weekly basis in business, all good.


Having "interacted" with Dewey on the Politics forum and then seeing this, I think Dewey has a serious problem, especially with anyone who disagrees with anything he says.

He is NOT a good advert for Canada.

A year ago at this time, my son and I were returning from a hunt in Alaska. Part of the adventure was to drive up and back, all the way from Kansas. Little did we know that the adventure would include a terminal break down of my pickup in the Pink Mountain area of northern BC. Here we were in the middle of no where, more than 150 miles from any town, and 2400 mile from home in another country. We were fucked! Many people, though, all BC and Alberta residents, bent over backwords to try and help us. They were as nice and caring as any I've met. Although a bad and expensive problem, as my son recounted later, if the same thing had happened somwhere in the US, he didn't think we would have gotten as much help and compassion to our problem as we did from those good people in BC. Its a shame that Dewey has this feeling of hatred for anything American. From reading many of his posts on other subjects, I truly think he is very well educated and has a welth of knowledge to offer to the hunting and outdoors comunity. that being said, it is too bad he can't channel his hatred into something positive. From my experience, he is in the extreme minority of Canadian residents. Knute

I am not as offended as I am amused that someone, unles they do have some form of mental problem could or would make such claims.

This person is Bat Shit Crazy. Is the address he is giving some sort of minimum security nut house??????

Admittedly I am from Texas and somewhat niaeve about worldpoloitics and such, but I have met enough Canadians both down here and on the trips I made to Canada to realize this character needs to be institutionalized if he isn't already.

I mean, I would hate to be setting here at some point in the futiure comparing notes with folks about some old whack job named Dewey that went into Vancouver one day and opened fire on a bunch of American tourists, after all the comments he has made on the sight and in his emails.

We've been around on this one before. No offence to either Americans or Canadians, but I don't see any good coming of this thread so I will lock it. I prefer that posts of a "political" nature like this to remain between the individuals involved or in the ARPF. Thanks.
