"Is it now the practice of the United States to issue Bronze Stars to "pathetic surrender monkeys" as were awarded to members of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry for their work in Afghanistan?"

You go Clive. I've given up the fight with the Canada-haters here, there's just too many of them and they're just too strident for it to be worthwhile. I can only assume and hope that majority of Freepers and Americans in general aren't so irrational in their feelings about Canada. No doubt we've got issues but a lot of what they get all worked about is no more than many American journalists and even politicians say about the US.

"No doubt we've got issues but a lot of what they get all worked about is no more than many American journalists and even politicians say about the US."

That our Euro-effete in the USA have similar commentary against the existence of the USA and the Jews doesn't make their treason and fascist support of the world's most evil despots the right thing to do. And an example of what we "get all worked about" is behind the following link (or scroll in this thread).

But opinions from the likes of condescending Gunter (pre-9/11 opinion column in the National Post) trying to show us the error of our ways that won in Afghanistan are not much better.

And I don't think it's very cool for most Canadians to be spitting on their relatives in the USA--those who only learn the truth about us "Yanks" by moving to live here in places other than the likes of NY City or Florida.

My point is a suggestion to chat with us and learn. Then start conservative media efforts in Canada (and not like most of the condescending "conservative" media efforts in England). Recognize the problem, inform Canada, and change the majority Canadian opinion of the USA.

84% Of Canadians Think That The U. S. Bears Some (69%) Or All (15%) Responsibility For Terrorist Attacks On Them Because Of Its Policies, Actions In Middle East, Other Parts Of World

But again, I'm not saying that Canadians shouldn't be reading, using information from or commenting on Web boards with US political topic content. ...just saying that conservative Canadians should admit the problem and start some conservative, pro-USA media.

More History courses in Canadian schools might be a good idea, too. J. L. Granatstein's "Who Stole Canadian History?" would be some good background to start with, too. Canadian book stores refused to ship that one down here for me, too, BTW. I had to obtain a used copy down here.

Hmmm.
I have to say I've read good things about Alberta and other places. Perhaps it would be easier to self-identify on a localized level than a national one?
We get into the same thing with each other - we all support Americans who are Conservative, of course - but when New York, California, Washington and other bastions of Socialism, the Freepers in those areas really get walloped.

Passions seem to rule over intellect sometimes.
