I'm not sure why we tell the Canadians not to "bash" America. We certainly don't hesitate to bash them. They are very bashable.

[Argus]

I'm really tired of all the self-righteous preening about this "climate change" bilge. It's a fraud.

"Canada never has to tear the United States down to build itself up," Wilkins said.

Apparently not so.

[PokeyJoe]

Quebec is bashable. Toronto and Ontario are not.

There is a large difference between the realm of political pundits and sitcoms; and that of an honest political campaign.

[sarasmom]

I don't think we bash them, as much as they richly deserve bashing.
We mostly just ignore them, and that seems to enrage them.
Oh well.
They can take a number if they want serious USA attention.
If they insist on jumping line, I guess we can pencil them in for imperialistic invasion next Thursday.

Canada needs the U.S. more than the U.S. needs Canada. One day, the Canucks will wake up and realize what jackasses their liberal politicians have been when we simply tell them to bugger off once and for all.

... Martin regularly said Canada did not want U.S.-style health care, fiscal deficits, taxes or attack ads.

You, uh, sure about that, chief? That whole Soviet-style health care thing's working out for ya, huh?

[thinking]

That Martin fellow, seems to have a bur under his "saddle", wonder what the root cause is...maybe kickback's from Oil for food, or NSA, has some juicy telephone tapes????

I think relations between the USA and Canada are as bad now as they have been since 1812. While there is no hint of war between the two countries, there is clearly very bad blood circulating.

[indianrightwinger]

What a Lo$er this looney liberal Canadian politician is.

The only hope is that the Canadians won't fall for this garbage in the same way Germans fell for Shroeder's garbage 2+ years ago.

In a hard-hitting speech in Ottawa, U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins lamented what he called relentless and incessant criticism of his country, which he speculated might begin to sow doubt about the strength of the binational relationship.

At the beginning of this article, it says the US warned Canadian politicians to not bash America. But that isn't what our ambassador said. Just another example of the media telling flat out lies. The only thing our ambassador did was point out the criticism and whining about America coming from Canada and that it could damage our relationship. I don't see anything inaccurate there, and I don't see anything in that comment that related directly to Canada's elections.

Pay attention folks....
It's times like this -- that you learn alot about who is friend and who is foe...

Canadian leftists -- especially in Quebec Province - are not to be trusted..... not at all..

Sad..

In the campaign for the June 2004 election Martin regularly said Canada did not want U.S.-style health care....

the Supreme Court of Canada...... issued an opinion last Thursday saying, in effect, that Canada's vaunted public health-care system produces intolerable inequality...... The court's decision strikes down a Quebec law banning private medical insurance and is bound to upend similar laws in other provinces. Canada is the only nation other than Cuba and North Korea that bans private health insurance, ......... "Access to a waiting list is not access to health care," wrote Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin for the 4-3 Court last week. Canadians wait an average of 17.9 weeks for surgery and other therapeutic treatments, ...... The waits would be even longer if Canadians didn't have access to the U.S. as a medical-care safety valve.

If the U.S.wants to reduce Canada to the level of a begging supplicant, all it has to do is outlaw travel from Canada for the purpose of medical treatment allegedly available in Canada.

Some of the best doctors in the Bay Area of Kalifornicate, escaped from the Canadian "health system"...

Their loss, our gain..

I wonder why they left that socialist paradise ????????

[porkchops 4 mahound]

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

The community falling apart, or is this just acting?

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

an unapologetic Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin responded immediately by saying...he would not accept anyone telling him he cannot defend his country.

Then the damn Canucks can shut up about us defending our country! After we build a southern wall, we should proceed straight away with building a northern one.

"Canada never has to tear the United States down to build itself up," Wilkins said.

Yahh right, that's why their evening news runs more stories about bashing the US, than even positive news about their own country most of the time.

[melt]

"And when it comes to climate change, we are making significant progress..."

Only an idiot would try to make Canada colder.

[longtermmemmory]

Sadly I have observed that Canada defines inself by bashing the USA.
