Please pay no attention to this as our teens know next to nothing.
They don't stand a chance. Our school system is run by big labour. Our news media is admired by Susan Sarandan (sp?). They are deplorable. I can't tune into the Canadian news any longer as it makes my blood boil. Our socialist government has banned Fox News up here!
I am constantly teaching my two teens to stand up for America. We fly Old Glory up here at our house and take a certain amount of grief for it. We have deep gratitude for America. We know you are the brave ones, fighting for our freedom and way of life. We know that when terror strikes here, we will be begging for your help. Knowing what I know of America, you will likely give it, just because that's the way you are.
Some of us up here are ashamed of Canada for not standing firmly beside you. My teens go to a private Christian school, and even there they were in rather heated debates all year for standing up for America. Sadly, they were pretty much the only ones...but I was proud of them.
We still grieve when we see pictures of those towers burning. I cried for a week after 9/11. We will never forget.
And for what it's worth, I think Alanis Morrisette is "evil"!
Judy:
Thanks for the example you are giving your children.
When folks up there give you grief, you may want to ask them 2 things:
(1) Of Canada's exports, 83% go to the U.S. (2003 stats). The people up there may be "in love' with the European socialists but the European socialists aren't the ones putting a roof over Canadians' heads or food on their table. In fact, only 4% of Canada's exports go to Europe. Remember, Canada is on the same side of the "big pond" as us. The Europeans see Canada as "North American" and nothing Canada can do will change that. If the U.S. were out of the way, the Europeans would still see Canada as an outsider.
(2) Remember the Soviet Bear? The Soviets could have taken Canada at any time. Do you really think the Canadian military could have stopped them? Why do you think the Soviets never even dared make the move?
Again, thanks for being there. Canadians owe us nothing. However, they could at least be more supportive neighbors.
We NEED clear-headed patriots like you...
Come on down and make it official -- you ARE "American!"
My regrets.
Regards, Ivan
Hey, you're all right! 
It's certainly a shock to see someone blowing kisses at the American Nation, instead of throwing rocks!
