Why Canada stayed out...and Bush can F**k awf


Well said. This, I mean. For those who might not understand current Canadian policy regarding Iraq--and why so many Canucks take umbrage at Bush’s contention that the US is the gold standard for international relations.

I think it's worth pointing out too that the kind of argument documented in the editorial does not just represent the views of the editorialist. The correlation between what is said there and what I hear from ordinary folk at our Village Diner (yes that Vilage Diner), many of whom do not follow politics closely or have an in-depth knowledge of the history of US-Candian relations - is striking. What they do know is that the country that they sent money to after September 11 is not one whose leaders they respect any more, or whose priorities they share. And they know also that the line fed to them by Cellucci is wrong, and deeply resent it.

I agree, it's a common sentiment among persons from all walks of life. From my experience we Canucks don't pull such strong sentiments out of thin air; sadly the Bush régime won't ever get that.
