"If ONLY Mexico were as good a friend and neighbor to the United States as is Canada"

We as Canada have never had a war with the USA.We have the largest undefended border.Alot of us have relatives in both countries.I do see the petty anti Americanism here but when you confront the average person they say ya most of the world is bad but America is worse than us because we got "free"(if you don't die waiting for it)health care.

"And I was ashamed when I heard that sports fans in Detroit had booed the Canadian national anthem"

well everyone has them

"Also the fact that Canada recently lost four of its fine military men during a "friendly fire" incident in Afghanistan."

A terrible tragedy and worse than being lost in combat.

"I'll never forget 1979 - the Iran Hostage Crisis, where many Americans were sheltered by the Canadian Embassy in Tehran, at great risk to the Canadians."

Sometimes we know who are real friends are.I also will not forget who was president.
