As opposed to the anti-American words scratched into the hood of our car in Vancouver the LAST TIME we will ever go the Canada.
But if one is mugged in Washington,DC, ( a highly probable event) , that does not mean that all Americans are inhospitable criminals.
My Canadian family has always had an abiding friendship with Americans. My Canadian Ancestor, a man by the last name of Coy, attacked the British fort at Beausejour on the Revolutionary side in 1777, and we have been close to Americans ever since. The majority of Canadians feel the same way. But like any people , Candians expect respect, and are very sorry generally, as well as sensitive about the backward discivilization that the Liberals of Canada have brought about over the last 40 years. Not everything can be fixed at once, even if we wished it be so.
And dozens of our soldiers have died in Afghanistan, and we will stay the course. That does not mean that we do not have liberal weenies running around scratching cars. If I had caught them doing your car, I would have placed a boot heel strategically and then called the police.I am sorry it happened to such a fine man as you.
