oh? To say the Canadian government does not represent the people and sucks is helpful? And my remarks which are factual are not? OK.... Sad... there is no hope....
You're just corroborating my earlier post that asserted that the greater majority of Canadians (about 80% using your own figures) are not reliable allies and do not support America in its greatest time of crisis since the Second World War! Why on earth should I, and any other sensible American, continue to fund a nation of two-faced hypocrites with our business? I won't; and many other Americans are waking up to the perfidy of the Canadians as well. I recently read a series of articles in the Detroit News that stated over 300 million dollars in trade was lost this year in the Detroit area alone due to the collapse of the cross border trade between the US and Canada. And it's gonna fall a whole lot more!
To say the Canadian government does not represent the people ..... is helpful?He does not say that, he points out the difficulty that fine Canadians, of which there are plenty, have in affecting government policy. And is gracious to admit that even in the U.S. individuals have a similiar difficulty.
He states,"Canada's government is much less connected to "the will of the people" than our own is." I'd like to hear him expand on this and I assume it has a lot to do with the Preamble to the Constitution.."We the people..."
As for the statement..."On the other hand, the Canadian government just plain sucks."
As represented by the current crop of politicians, I couldn't agree more !! I could go further and say that the structure of the government with an unelected Senate is gravely flawed.
