Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin's ministry is past its prime: one of the unluckiest in Canadian history: against marriage, against Quebec, against capitalism, and being a gang of Montreal thieves. In any normal country, such a government would be voted out of office in short order. In an election some time this spring, we'll see if Canadians want a normal country. I'd reckon a year of the failed Martin ministry should push them to vote for change.

I have to admit that while it's fun to tease my Canadian friends, my primary reaction to Canada is befuddlement. I just don't understand what is going on up there. I know a conservative woman up there and when we get together she is almost depressed about the situation. Yet Canadians seem quite happy with their government.

I just can't get a grasp on the scene up there. They seem to have found their voice by hating the US. I don't mean that "We love Americans, just not Bush" BS; I think they HATE America, period.

In the end, history will show that Paul Martin singlehandedly backbenched Liberals for the next 20 years.

I am seem to recall that Brian Mulroney's party was reduced from a majority to only 4 seats in the span of a single election.

I worked with a bunch of Canadians for years when I was in the steel business, and on subsequent consultin roles. Subsequently, over the last decade, their mindset has turned into something that I do not understand. Ergo, I wrote off Canada about six years ago. IMOHO
