Really.
We sided with the enemy
You know I really hate people who mislead like this.
A lot of Canadians were killed at the WTC and we came out officially in support of the Americans - is that siding with the enemy?
We held big rallies in New York if memory serves and raised millions of our own friggen dollars to help out the victims - is that siding with the enemy?
After that, we sent our troops, thousands of them to Halfganistan and have worked closely with the Americans on our porous borders - Is that siding with the enemy?.
After that we supported resolution 1441 - is that siding with the enemy?
We have held big rallies during this war - is that siding with the enemy?
We are in the process of sending 2,000 Canadian soldiers to hafganistan this year siding with the enemy? Our troops have been working on those AWACS planes directing the bombing runs in this war, our ships with more than a thousand naval troops are protecting the American ships out at sea and bringing supplies to the British troops - is that supporting the enemy? I could go on and on.
Quite frankly if you are following events in this country you would know that the government is supporting the war effort but couching it to keep its political base - the left votes. Of course that pi$$es me off seeing I think at a time of war we should be supporting our troops that are in combat on the ground and at sea
Go read some of the stories at the National Post (www.nationalpost.com) or the Toronto Star (www.thestar.com) if you need some proof. Typing "AWACS" in the search engines will get you to some of the stories.
There have been countless threads on this board discussing these issue but yet, people like you continue to mislead.
I don't know why you continue to do this but I don't you think it needs to stop.

The many people of Canada -- especially those in Gander -- who took in strangers 9/11, the many Canadians who contributed their money to the relief efforts both here in DC and in NYC -- the list goes on and on and on.
No people, as far as I know, have ever been more friendly, more kind, and closer to us than the people of Canada.
They are, in my book, just ahead of the Brits in friendship to us.
So it is very very unfortunate that they have the current government in power.
But that, to my way of thinking, is not something to revile the Canadians for.
Rather, it is a point at which we here in the USA should commiserate with our Canadian neighbors, for we, too, know what it is like to live under a government that is haughty, arrogant, and which refuses to live up to its international obligations.
Anyone remember 1993-2001?
