There were some irritants in bilateral relations but the real problem was the liberal Canadian leadership that used anti-Americanism to help them retain power. The conservatives were elected on a platform of getting along with our neighbors. Anti-Americanism does not get you elected in Canada anymore. Pretty simple, eh?
Additionally, our new PM solved a long standing trade dispute in three months that the liberals couldn't solve in 12 years. Perhaps negotiating with the Americans works better than abusing them.
The people of Canada, outside a minority in the three largest cities, never had anything against the US. With the lumber issue behind us, a surging Canadian dollar to stoke the electorates pride, rising US dependence on Canadian energy supplies and common interests in defeating terrorism, you will appreciate a very strong American ally in the north.
I meant the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. and Canadian people never had a falling out; however here's a hug: *HUG!*
Yes, we will !!!!!!!
