I have to tell you, I’m more than a little fed-up with Canada’s superior, “better-than-you” attitude toward the United States. It has gone past just being annoying, to irritating, and it’s endangering a relationship which has stood, at least, since the War of 1812.
It’s time to take Canada down a notch or two.
For a country, which has a military trained, and equipped, about as well as the Boy Scouts of America, they might want to tone their rhetoric down some.
For most of the history of Canada, their security has depended upon the United States and… the US military. They have been our number one trading partner, but I must tell you, that position is now in danger. Their smug remarks about our President, and our politics, and out health care system, and our refusal to sign the Kyoto Treaty, is taking a toll.
Add to all the above their particularly poor border security, which allows terrorists to walk, willy nilly, into the US, is straining our relationship more than is healthy for… Canada!
Canada has enjoyed a, basically, carefree existence with the world’s only super power as their southern neighbor and their western neighbor. But, if Canada continues on the course, she apparently has chosen, that relationship could change practically overnight and those borders could well be closed… and sealed… and our “Big Brother” protection of Canada withdrawn.
There is a cold, dangerous, world out there... out from under the blanket of US protection. I do not believe Canada would find it nearly as appealing as they now think they do. Plus, recruiting, training, arming, and equipping, a military is expensive enough to put Canada on the ropes financially.
Since the cold war is over and the threat of an attack, by the Soviets, across the northern Canadian tier has vanished, Canada seems to have found bravado as a substitute for national courage. It’s not.
Maybe we ought to change the plans for that fence along the US Southern Border with Mexico and place it, instead, along the Northern Border with Canada. They say, “Good fences make good neighbors”. It sure, as the dickens, looks as if, whoever said that, knew what they were talking about.
So, Canada, take your “smartass remarks”, about the US, and stick ‘em where the sun doesn’t shine!
Have a nice day!

So now people in their own country can't express their opinions either, we lost our free speach so now we have to attack other nations. I am an american I am critical of Bush, I believe our health care system sucks in that it only works well for the insurance companies not the people. I do not want a fence there, I'll need somewhere to take my son so he doesn't end up in Iraq. If I can get residence there that is. And before you dump your crap on me Bushes daddy pulled strings to keep his W (Georgiana, our first female president) I think he is a unic and lacks any form of genitalia but that's for a later debate, from going to vietnam. Arnold Swart..... is still a citizen of Austria, and even you proudly profess to be a descendent of the Confederate State, An independent and seperater nation from the U.S.A. Hell, I'll support you on that.And as a World leader shouldn't we sign an agreement to cut pollution, don't you like clean air. What is wrong with making corporations clean up their act? The process of doing so would actually creat jobs. The people's right to breath clean air should be more important that a corporations ability to polute it. Maybe the other nations of the world should form an alliance against us on this issue, it is their air too.

ReplyDeleteAnd you complain that your FREEDOMS are being trampled? Your son, has the right and the ability to make his own decisions... and if he chooses to join the military you're powerless to stop him. I hate to break it to you, but YOU don't control him as much as you might think you do.
Your comments speak VOLUMES of you as a person and personally, I would invite you to please pack your bags and leave MY Country... have fun with -20 temps!
"And as a World leader shouldn't we sign an agreement to cut pollution, don't you like clean air."
Should we sign an agreement based on SPECULATION and unproved science that could DESTROY our economy by costing us TRILLIONS of dollars because it MIGHT work? Look, Mother Nature pollutes this eart a good 3-5 times more than we could hope to do... the Kyoto treaty is a CROCK.
No sir you are a crock! Your country i doubt it. I love to beat the hell out of conservative morons like you! My son would not choose to go to the military. I'm talking if they try to bring back the draft. Besides if we wacked all the conservatives that in itself would help control the polution. Besides I see you have no sense of humor at all, or did you forget to take your meds. I always play devils advocate.
ReplyDeleteby the way james see my post on the next topic about hurricanes.
