It really isn’t Canada’s business here. They can hope, wish, pray for someone other than Obama, but that’s the limit for me.

Of course Canadians can't have a direct say in who we elect any more than the reverse would be proper.However,the relationship between the two countries is more important than many Americans realize.We take Canada for granted...it's a small country that doesn't threaten us in any way,unlike our other next door neighbor.But consider the trading relationship (huge,by my understanding) and consider how our friendly neighborly relations make defending North America so much more effective.The US doesn't have many genuine friends in the world but of the few we have Canada,Britain and Australia are probably the most valuable...even though we don't agree on every single issue.

I didn’t mean to imply Canada wasn’t a friend - they are.

My point is that their influence in our elections should be no more than our influence should be in theirs. Side-tracking to how Canada feels isn’t on my radar in this fight.

Umm, well why not? We have people from other nations voting in our elections. And at least Canadians can read the ballot. /s

Good points!
