To fellow Canadian

First of all, I am "you Yanks."

Did your college professor and/or CNBC tell you that? You'll have to forgive me for asking, because nations based on socialism and a citizenry that gets a check in the mail from the government that masqueredes as a capitalist democracy (like most EU nations and Australia) is not exactly a hotbed for innovation or original thinking.

That's probably most of your real thinkers come from abraod these days.

1) First of all, there is plenty of blame to go around for the current economic crisis, but basically it revolves around the fact that left-wing liberals, ---the same types of people who run Canada and pander to the angry, radical Muslim male----- and their totalitarian labor unions think they are entitled to anything and everything. If they make a profit, they deserve to keep it, but by gosh if they do not, someone else (ie big government) has to make up the loss. To quote a recent editorial, I've never seen such a quick conversion from capitalism to socialism.

Selfish, really.

2) Most Canadians live near the USA border because we are the country that has jobs, and even with a soon-to-be failure of an Obama/Biden adminstration (provided they do not end up behind bars with the Senate seat scandal, which I'm sure your media is burying and rationalizing), we still do not give our money to a centralized government incensed on punishing well-to-do white, Christian men of Anglo-Saxon desecent over 30 for slavery and/or colonization, of which you and Keri ungratefully reap the benefits of.

3) Canada does not have the military capacity or infrastucture to defend its territory. That is why your nation wisely entered into NATO and NORAD, not out of some dopey sense of neighorly relations or comrodory.

4) How exactly are you helping us out? You mean in Iraq...lol....you guys don't care about Iraq, you were busy cutting back-door deals with the genodical madmen in the Sudan for your oil interests. Afghanistan is another matter, but I'm sure you guys will be out of there soon as well.

Western nations besides the USA do not have the stomach for a long fight, and the terrorists know it. Heck, a lot of Canadians and Europeans do not even have the will to defend themselves anymore.

And back in 1993, you guys almost went to war with your fellow ally Spain over Atlantic fishing.

So really, spare me the nonsense, fellow canadian, because if America goes down, so do you.
