I spoke with a woman in Alberta yesterday while searching for some cold weather hardy bamboo to plant here in Wisconsin. She told me that the reason Canada cannot back our coalition is that the last ten years of liberal control of their government has left them with a military that is not capable of even deploying to fight a bad cold. Other than some intelligence type op's, they have no effective military and it would embarass the politicians if they had to even symbolicaly send us some coalition forces with no training, bullets, gear, and machinery of war.

She also informed me that they are rounding up donations in her province to take out a full page ad in USA Today to express an apology for their governments lack of support.

This was just some customer service lady. A real Joannie six pack.

Re: the headline. Actually, it's rather past time to take a stand, but we do appreciate the sentiment anyway.

Hmmmm. 1973... Is this the last time a Canadian in a position of influence had something supportive to say?

"* Finally, for inspiration, read the famous declaration of support for our American neighbours by the late Gordon Sinclair, first broadcast on CFRB in 1973. You'll find it on page 16."
