Reading about Mulroney is a reminder of the good old days when we could count on our allies.

It's one thing for France, Germany, Russia or China to think that weakening the U.S. will somehow benefit them. I don't see what Canada has to gain from this. It seems to me that Canada has a lot to lose from having bad relations with us, or helping to diminish our strenght/influence in the world. I guess the current leadership is so blinded by their socialist b.s. they can't even see this.

The Left in Canada are betting on the other, anti-American, side of future world conditions. They think it is the US that should smooch Canada's bum.

Today's hostility from Canada is a far cry from June 6, 1944, when Canadian troops joined American and British counterparts in the D-Day landings in Normandy (Lest we forget, many an Allied life was lost in Normandy to, um, liberate France.)

I think that much of Canada's anti-AMericanism comes from a desire to be seen as different from the U.S. Also, after the Revolutionary War, quite a few Loyalists or Tories fled there. Ontario is the home of the Royal American Regiment, isn't it?
