To my Canadian friends, I apologize for folks like sunsong, whose hatred of Canada has made him lose his marbles (as well as his perspective). While I wish your government had supported us in the conflict with Iraq, the concept of "closing the border" is, of course, ludicrous.
The Canada/US economy is inextricably linked – any attempt to limit or stop trade by either country would be the complete financial ruination of both. Oil, natural gas, car parts, pharmaceuticals, electricity, lumber and a thousand other things we buy from Canada because we cannot do without. You have many idiots in your country, we have many in ours, and in sunsong, you have just met one of our finest...
Dr Luv, you know what you can do with your opinion. Perhaps democrat underground is a place you would feel more comfortable.
Appeasment is what the French and the Canadians do...not Americans.
Time to clsoe the border with Canada.
Thanks for the sanity check. I'd like to apologize for some of the more inflamatory comments I've made. I'd also like to apologize on behalf of all Canadians for the stupid things some Canadian politicians have said, as well as the idiots who booed the national anthem (although has happened in the US, also) or who may have made stupid comments to those US pee-wee hockey players. I won't apologize for Canada's position on invading Iraq, however, even if I didn't agree with it.
