Must read?! It's just the Canadian liberals. That's like saying that your drug-addled cousin in college is someone to whom you "must listen."

Thesde Canuckistani tinkerbells can really get snippy, can't they?
Dear Mr. Axworthy,
As a Canadian, I'm sick and tired of lefties like you trying to "remove the speck from the eye of somebody" without removing the "huge log from yours". Because of naive liberals like you, our country is no longer able to defend ourselves and have to now rely on our neighbour, the United States to protect us from danger. Of course you will probably come up with a lame statement such as "no country would want to attack us" but the fact is Osama bin Laden named Canada with a list of countries who he sees as his enemies, in a video not long ago, and so far from that list only Italy and Canada have not been attacked personally yet. I hear you whine about our sovereignty but guess who is causing us to lose it, you and Mister Dithers. You caused us to lose our soveignty become defenceless against any threat. Take a look at the arctic, Denmark has made claims to territory belonging to us thanks to you and liberal government cronies. My question is to you. How many Canadians should lose their lives on our soil due to terrorism, 100, 1000, 4000, before you liberals wake up and smell the fresh coffee?

P.S. Quit living in the pre 9/11 world and wake up to reality.
He's a liberal in a huff, so the leftist Canadian MSM prints it. No more needs to be said ... it's not worth the read.
Read the post again. Read it slowly. Think about it. Was it a post advocating the confiscation of a socialist utopia? Or was it an indication of the lack of reasoning by the marxist university head that wrote the letter? Was it saying make Canada the 51st state, or was it saying that if America was all that bad wouldn't we have done it already. Take a government issued chill pill. The whole post was about one guy being a jerk, not trade relations and the importance of NAFTA.

I note our hero has referred to Kosovo as if the resolution of that issue was to be found in some high-level conference or strongly-worded diplomatic note. It was not. Nothing during his tenure was a more perfect illustration of the mind-numbing, arrogant impotence of the multilateral approach to such tragedies as Kosovo - well, cancel that, there was, I suppose, Rwanda as well, at whose murderers I am certain that Axworthy shook a positively magisterial finger. If they'd possessed boots they'd have been trembling in them.
Dr. Rice will do well not to throttle this simpering fool on sight.
BF, I agree. I'd also like to see the US and Canada play fair on trade issues. I dislike the Bush administration's occasional tendencies towards protectionism.
However, I am dubious about your theory that the Martin government would have cooperated in MD but for our trade practices. While I might not read as much of the Canadian press as you, I have not seen any commentators (even Canadian ones) suggest such a linkage.
Furthermore, even if your theory about the Martin government's motivations is correct, the decision not to opt-in to our MD program still doesn't make sense for Canada, because MD greatly enhances Canadian security at little or no costs to Canadians.
To some degree, Canadians and Americans have always been at loggerheads about trade, but that's b/c international trade is a competitive environment, even among allies. OTOH, Canadians and Americans have traditionally (and wisely!) been united with respect to issues of collective security. Paul Martin and his cronies are stupid to jeopardize a powerful, mutually beneficial security relationship over this.
"Paul Martin and his cronies are stupid to jeopardize a powerful, mutually beneficial security relationship over this."
Yes, I agree.
Must-read ping.
Please ping others.
The bogus Canadian identity foisted upon the country by Trudeau and his successors requires, like Orwell's fictional dystopias in '1984', an external enemy.
America is that enemy for all loyal Party members.

I was so stunned at the supercilious tone, I scrolled up twice to check the source, expecting it to be a parody.
I'll comment later on the content. I need to collect myself after being so offended at his gall.
This is the US Secretary of State he's speaking to, as though she were some undergrad co-ed. Unacceptable.
