Are you suggesting Canada has done nothing?


Mixed bag.

Western Canada and the Maritimes are extremely friendly to Americans.

There are Canadian soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

And if the US military accepted Canadian volunteers, many Canadian soldiers would have joined the US troops in Iraq.

You probably know several Canadian young men itching for the opportunity to kick terrorist butt in Iraq and elsewhere.

If I recall correctly, there is a Canadian freeper who has tried repeatedly to volunteer for the operation Iraqi Freedom and has been turned down by the US military.

On the other hand, the Canadian media are definitely biased with anti-American stories, and many politicians in also anti-American liberals.

Thank you for including the Maritimes. Canada has many issues ... some we are currently working on and hopefully the election will take care of others.

I do not think our media is anti-American. I and others have posted a great many pro-American articles, but they get little play. This article is not anti-American. I posted it because it illustrates that the majority of Canadians believe America to be our best friend. The fact that this belief is not shared by you folks makes me sad, as do the personal attacks against me, my country, its war dead,(including members of my own family) and it's historical contributions to world peace, democracy and law and order. Many Canadians do not believe GWB. should have acted unilaterally in Iraq, but that does not mean they are anti-American. That view is also shared by many other friendly nations, now including a member of the willing, Spain

Our liberal media favours Kerry over Bush for obvious reasons, however the liberals are fading fast up here and we could see the conservative opposition party elected this spring. This scares the hell out of the lefties and this recent spate of anti GWB polls are their way of combating the rise in conservative sentiment.

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.
