we heard many things about Canada after Bush started moving toward Afghanistan. Terms like "imbicile", "stupid", "goon" etc to describe President Bush. Curses about an American bomber who dropped weapons on some Canadian Soldiers in an honest error. Apologies were sent, and spat upon.

Then there were the kids from an American school who went to play hockey, and they were loudly booed and heckled and spat upon.

And when we visit Canada now we're treated like the plague.

No wonder we're liking the Brits more and more.

Dear Cannuck-
We are former friends.

Best pal my ass! They wouldn't lift a finger to help us as recent history more than proves.

"If you did a Family Feud-style poll and you said `Other than the United States, name countries,' the average American could probably get to 12," he said. "Britain's definitely one of them. But if you ask them England against Scotland, you start puzzling them."

Well, don't you just have all the answers. As long as the question is, "How stupid are Americans?"

Putz.

"And suddenly, there's this sense that when we were in a crunch, when we needed people, Britain could be counted on."

Very true.

Canadians seem to enjoy believing that Americans are just too stupid to realize Canada exists. That's why we "forgot" to name them our closest friend.

In fact, Canada has made the news in the U. S. with regularity since 9/11, building toward the following impression: In matters of international importance, Canada prefers to side with France over the U. S. and Britain. The refusal of France to participate in Iraq left a greater impression than Canadians seem to realize. Especially considering the heated anti-U. S. rhetoric the Chretien government tossed in for good measure.

Canada would no doubt prefer that Americans remained ignorant about her. Because, in the past couple of years, the more we learn, the less we like.

this is no surprise - it's the 'Chretien legacy'

Waller said Canadians know a lot more about their southern neighbour than Americans do about them.

It's not that we don't we don't know about Canada... we just don't like what we see and read. The fishing is great though.

"Waller said Canadians know a lot more about their southern neighbour than Americans do about them."

What's to know?

Despite not fighting for their freedom, the Canadians were granted it by a benevolent Great Britain apx. 60 years ago.

Canada has spent virtually every day of that freedom rejecting everything related to a democracy, or to capitalism, and embraced everything socialist & evil.

This is, in it's entirety, the history of Canada.

What's to know? What's to respect? Nothing.

[laotzu]

The State of Texas would be happy to make a gift of Canada to the United States of America.

Then, Canada would have a history of some interest.

I want to know who Britain picked as their best buddy?

What do they want ?....
Canada is like France.. "They are there whenever THEY need US"..

You would do well to read the posts on this thread from Americans. You are not an American, you are a foreigner, and you could really benefit from listening and learning what Americans think of Canada and how we feel about your country.

It is beyond insulting, imo, for you to continually come onto this American site and tell us what to think and feel. Your silly notion that Canada and America are joined at the hip and that if we don't put up with your insults and betrayals that we are helping terrorism is patantly absurd.

America is fighting terrorism. Canada is not. You are either with us or against us. You would better serve your country to change your government than to keep coming in here and telling us off. For me, you are just making the case that Canadians are European wannabes and no friend to us.

"If you did a Family Feud-style poll and you said `Other than the United States, name countries,' the average American could probably get to 12,"

These claims are funny as hell. I've always thought of canucks as a bunch of people with Down's Syndrome. You can see it in their faces and the way they talk. Dumb as posts.

I actually got in an argument once with a bunch of dumb canucks who tried to tell me that France was the world's oldest democracy, lol! That's the kind of francophile crap they teach in the schools up there. Canada has a bad, bad case of Down's Syndrome, believe me. George Washington made a huge mistake not taking it, but we may yet.

I have visited Canada along the border from Quebec City to Vancouver. I surely stuck out like a sore Yankee thumb, but was treated well everywhere. So far as ordinary citizens go, there isn't a dime's worth of difference between us. Why seemingly good people on either side of the border would support liberals is beyond my comprehension. Watching this childish pissing contest between conservatives is sickening - STOP IT!

[4CJ]

I can't speak about all Canadiens (sic), but the folks I've met were as nice as could be. IMHO, most Canadians are like "flyover" Americans - it's just the media/elites that are liberals. I would have voted for Canada.

Them that "do" seldom pay attention to them that "watch."
