I visited Canada dozens of times, I was welcomed, and admired as an American. I have great respect for the Canadians, our brothers and sisters to the north.

I have too on many occasions. Both on Canadian ski trips and occasional jaunts across the border here in Detroit. I too felt welcomed and actually believe that Canadians are more hospitable and educated than the average American and also have great respect for the populace. However, my beef lies with the anti-American sentiment being propagated by their socialist news media and until I start reading pro-U.S. articles then my anti-Canadian bias will blanket the folks I admire and that is totally unfair to them.

As evidenced here in the U.S. during the 2000 election, there are pockets of socialists whose numbers greatly affect our election process. Thank our Founders for the electoral college process.

Unfortunately, Canada does not have that process and that is why the highly socialist pockets such as windsor, Toronto and Montreal pretty much determine their election results.

The central and western provinces have already voiced their displeasure with the current government and unfortunately their only salvation lies in secession..........

The difference between Canada, Europe, and the US is very easy to see. Just listen to Ted Kennedy, Ralph Nadir, Hilary Clinton, or the real American leftist media. The current hysteria about Saddam Hussein for some unknown reason was sold to our mainstream media, hence our public, liberal, and conservatives are on the same page. The European, however, for a reason unknown too did not buy the idea of war to prevent a dictator from hoping to have nuke. Their media remained anti-war, not like the US, and as the US acted without proper consultations, they became even more resentful.

I believe this hostility between us and our western allies are temporary. I also know that Bush learned his lesson not to act with arrogance. As he consulted, ALL the Security Council members voted with us. That was an act of rewarding negotiation. We are the only superpower, and we will be resented if we did not act fairly.
