I'm glad to see that not all Canadians run and bury their heads in the sand when a crisis erupts. However, the fact remains, your country should have been there with us. Even if you weren't able to send troops, there were other ways that an ally could have aided. That's what an ally and a friend should do. Even if you had doubts and concerns, you don't turn your back on your friends, unless you're French. But,your government made a decision. By announcing your non-participation, your government took it's stand. Why now, should we allow you to retract it? It's too late to try to cozy up to the U.S. now that there's money on the table. This is not the behavior of a friend, and Americans have long memories. Just as many Americans are boycotting anything French, I urge anyone reading this......Spend your vacationing dollars elsewhere. Buy British ales if you must have an imported beer. Stay away from Molson and LaBatt's. Just as the French, we need to hurt the Canadians where it hurts most.......in the wallet. Let's face it, the only way to get these "allies" to pull their heads out of the sand, (or *sses, as is the case with the French) is to take away our financial support. Perhaps when the people of the countries realize that there are consequences to their actions, or in this case inactions, they can take these lessons with them into the voting booths. Don't forget who your friends are. You can be sure that we won't.
