My opinion of Canada has changed greatly over the years. I never thought I would see the day when we would have closer ties with Britain than Canada, but how times change. Britain is truly our ally and brothers and sisters. I never felt closer to those people for the support they have given us. When I think of Canada, I think of France and cowardice. I really think it's a pity that we liberated France from Germany for all the support they have given us over the years. I think there are truly some good Canadian people, but for the most part I think they are primarily French that don't care or want anything to do with helping someone else out unless it's to their benefits. I'm sorry to say it, but the rest of the cowardly Canucks are probably our own fault. I fear more draft dodgers from the Vietnam War Era escaped to your country than anyone ever expected
That would explain your cowardly stance on your lack of support against Iraq. If it wasn't for America your country would be nothing. You certainly wouldn't be able to field a professional baseball or basketball team without American athletes, although from what I understand you do have a semi-pro football league, eh
Without America, it would just be a matter of time before Russia came across the Berring Straits and annexed your beautiful country piece by piece and you wouldn't be able to do a damned thing to stop them.
I am glad President Bush didn't mention your country when he was mentioning the countries who helped us. Britain truly deserves to be at the top of our list. If I was Bush I would cut all ties with your country and isolate you just like Cuba for your cowardice and disgrace. I know most of you will not like this posting, but deep down some of you will realize I'm speaking the truth.
Here is an article out of one of your own sites:
Canada has lost its clout internationally and with the Americans because of the Chrétien government's insistence on taking cheap shots against the United States, former prime minister Brian Mulroney says.
"The reality is you can't get from here to across the street in international affairs with any influence unless you have direct access to the president of the United States if you're the prime minister of Canada," Mr. Mulroney says in a Global Television special to air tonight. "If you don't have that, nothing happens."
Facing the Century, which will be hosted by Global National's Kevin Newman, examines some of the military, political and economic issues facing Canada in the 21st century, one year after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.
Mr. Mulroney, who served as prime minister from 1984 to 1993, is among a number of prominent Canadians featured in the 60-minute special. He says it's OK to disagree with the Americans, provided it is done professionally.
Mr. Mulroney said his government disagreed with former U.S. president Ronald Reagan's administration on some "foreign policy dearest to his heart," such as South Africa, Cuba, Central America and the Star Wars defence initiative, without impairing the relationship.
"And why? Because we didn't showboat about it. We didn't say we're going to go down and tell you 'you're a bunch of nitwits and we're going to show you how to do this.'
"'We're going to get a cheap thrill back home in Canada by convincing people how virile we are by kicking sand in the Americans' face and trying to humiliate them.' If you do that, you go nowhere."
Mr. Mulroney is a friend of U.S. President George W. Bush and his father, former president George Bush.
Mr. Mulroney's foreign policy successes with the United States were the Canada-U.S. free trade and the North American Free Trade Agreements, which Mr. Mulroney claims are responsible for four of every five jobs created during Mr. Chrétien's term in office.
He predicted Britain will be a big winner because of Prime Minister Tony Blair's unabashed support of the U.S. since last year's terrorist attacks.
"Look what happened in the days, in the hours after. Who was sitting in the gallery when the president addressed Congress in the wake of the attack?" Mr. Mulroney asks. "How come we're not there and some fellow overseas is 6,000 miles away?"
In that speech, Mr. Bush called Great Britain "a true friend" of the U.S. and went on to thank Mr. Blair for supporting the U.S. during its time of need. The president then thanked several other countries, but Canada was not mentioned.
Many Canadians have criticized Mr. Chrétien for his slow response to the terrorist attacks.
In a segment of the interview that is not televised, Mr. Mulroney said: "Blair pre-empted the role normally reserved for the prime minister of Canada.
"In terms of support and visibility, and so in many ways, and not malicious ways necessarily, we'll pay a price for that. Blair will be, and the United Kingdom will be, the beneficiary of that. I know that having heard it from the Americans at the highest levels.
"There's no question about it. It's not that they're going to punish Canada, but they remember who was there right at the beginning, instinctively."
