It is all about politics and when we conservative kinsmen squabble with each other by posting hostility, innuendo and mistruth on these threads, only the leftists and the terrorists win.You get no quarrel from me.
Remember that FR has several posters who overreact to both the good news and the bad news, and sometimes those posters set the tone of a thread.
On the other hand, I doubt that sober posters will disagree with your comments about Canada's historical friendship with the US.
If Americans had to choose any country of the world to be our northern neighbor, we will choose Canada.
What a wonderfully kind and generous thing to say. Thank You!
