"Canada used to have a proud military but the canadian government has been taken over by extreme leftists that do not reflect the majority of the canadian public's opinion. Hopefully we'll be able to regain our country like you did,but we'll need american conservative support.

This is true, but we are not likely to change your government for you (regardless of what the leftists think of us). So you will have to do it yourselves. The first thing you have to do is figure out what it is that you want. Canadian policy has been so conflicted over the recient years that Americans can never be sure just where you stand - Other than increasingly in oposition to the US. Even Canadian authorities are scared to death of your imigration policy, but apparently powerless to change it. This presents a problem for the US. With the longest unguarded border in the world we rely on trust. The sad bit about this, is the US would have given Canada subs, (there were several stricken from active dute in the US Navy in the last couple years), but it was important for your government not to accept anything American.

About the subs,there are different stories about why we got the British ones, but I'm sure some politician being paid off was the determining factor. As to our foreign policy,it was hi jacked by the last PM that had some anti american extreme bias, I think to score points with the french province of Quebec. The conservative voices come from the West,and also from the business community,because Canada is the US largest trading partner.So keeping borders safe and monitoring them is advantageous to all. Actually,i think you would find also if you talk to field people from FBI or our RCMP, there is a lot of very good cooperation, collaboration. The problem is at the political levels.
