Canada bashers fail to understand that this is a battle of cultures not nationalities. Blaming Canada for it's liberal policies my make them feel better but many of the same symptoms and problems are endemic in America as well.

Its sure not going to help to alienate those are with us on these cultural issues.

I am sure glad we U.S citisens are not judged by what is going on in San Francisco

As far as I'm concerned, the Canadians can go cry in their milk. They elected and re-elected these liberal scumbags for years and now - - shock! - - they have just discovered that the liberals they elected are lying scumbags and crooks, just like the liberals in the United States?

Not so fast. The liberals in Ottawa have stayed in power by giving away goodies to the more vote rich Eastern provinces, especially Ontario and Quebec. They've done this by practically raping the Western provinces, who are getting to the point that they're talking about secession. I'd welcome Alberta to the Union in a heartbeat.

'I want to thank you for standing up for the right of Canadian Freepers to participate in discussion on Free Republic.'

I second that.

'For the record and in my opinion, the media and the politicians on both sides of the border have contributed mightily to the bickering, nitpicking and insulting nattering that has gone on between the two closest nations in the world. Generally speaking, an exercise that only benefits the terrorists in this post 9/11 world. Free republic is one of the few forums where the man on the street can exercise his viewpoint and possibly make a difference.'

You hit that nail on the head.

You say Canadians can go cry in their milk because they are the ones who elected the corrupt Liberals. Québec didn't elect them but the Rest of Canada did so you are right but you forget that the Liberals have had no opposition for the past decade and it's only now that the Conservatives under Harper are starting to sound credible. Even now, though, it would be a great feat is the Conservatives won the next elections with a majority government -- nobody believes it! I think it's a case of power corrupting absolutely!
