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.

Yes and even with some of the name calling and snide comments made in this
thread. I'm sure we Canadians would still take your citizens in and feed and
shelter them, and make them feel welcome if another national crises were to
happen again. Not that I would want to see that again any time soon. Try to
think of us like your mom, we may not go to the bars and strip joints with
you. But when things turn to **** on a night out ,it's nice to know mom's
there to give you a meal and a bed.:-)
( My intent with the above was not to suggest that Canadians are your
parents/ guardians or any other controlling factor to the US, just that we
will no doubt try to do in the future what we have tried to do in the past.)
