I hope there are more of your countrymen that will speak out against your present government. Canada and the US have been great neighbors and staunch allies for many years and the actions of your government and some of your fellow citizens hurts me as an American.

I spent my honeymoon in Canada and several vacations as well, but that will end unless Canada gets back on the track as a neighbor (neighbour) and ally.

Now is not the time for division, it is the time for ALL civilized nations to stand together and get rid of a common enemy: the Islamofascists.

Yeah there are lots who support but unfortunately there are a lot of people that are against the war in Iraq. I think our MSM allong with yours has not helped either. Quebec has a huge population that were against the effort in Iraq and I think that is what the government was playing too last year. Unfortunately (or fortunately)there was a money scandal and most quebecers did not vote for the libs in the last federal election - so I think what the libs did backfired.

Fortunately the government of the day has come out in support of the US effort in Iraq and has sent a few hundred million and is taking part in training police in Iraq. Of course the official military is at sea in the Gulf and I think 700 troops are still in hafganistan. No troops other than those on exchange are officially taking part in the effort in Iraq.

So you spent some time here - great. Hope you enjoyed yourself. I have been to a lot of places in the US. Our next trip is to Virgina Beach in a few weeks to relax. I have never been there so I am looking forward to the experience.

Take care

You do realize that by possibly boycotting Canada, you'll be hurting the business community more than the government. It is the politicians, scholars and media that, for the most part, are the real problems here. By and large, the businesses here do not fall for the anti-American rhetoric. By boycotting businesses, you'd essentially be hurting the wrong element.
