Ditto! This Western Canadian absolutely DETESTS the rodents called the federal Liberals. It baffles the mind that Chretien and his minions continue to do the best they can at offending the United States. It is hard to imagine Canada surviving any sort of retaliation for the anti-Americanism spewing out of the mouths of the morons in Ottawa. Especially when one realizes the only reason Canada exists as an independent nation is because of American benevolence - if we were adjacent to any other superpower in history - we would've been conquered long ago.
I hate to say it but the US probably should put its foot down and penalize my country for the stupidity our leaders are doing. Couple this with an invitation to us in the West to join the US - we're much better off being part of the US than remaining in a Canada where we're under-represented and disenfranchised. Besides, we in the West didn't vote for the Liberals - blame Ontario and Eastern Canada for that catastrophe.
We understand, we had Clinton disease for 8 years. Keep your heads up. Isn't Victoria cutting 35,000 government jobs in the next couple of years? That's a good start!
