ahh... another Canadian. Not suprised.

Do you realize what YOUR reputation is in the world?


Possibly that they managed to free some American prisoners while Jimmy
Carter hemmed and hawed for more than a year?


Or that the took over command under NATO in Afghanistan when the US wanted to
free troops for Iraq?

Or that their navy patrolled the Persian Gulf protecting US ships in the lead-in
to the Iraq invasion?

Or that they are the only country on the planet to have contributed troops to
_every_ UN peacekeeping mission since the UN came into being?

Or that they fought in _all_ years of both WWI and WWII? And were the first to
win a major victory against the Germans in WWI while the yanks were still hiding
at home?


The Canadians also took in men, women and children fleeing slavery
in the US, draft resisters and deserters during the Vietnam war, and
helped keep us supplied with booze during Prohibition.
