If you notice that, one Canadian FRer that frequently crosses words with you and who rubbishes news about separatism referred by myself falls stone silent on such board. :)
He goes such a great length defending status quo Canada which show he is actually a centrist or moderate left even in his own nation. I wonder what he is thinking when he reads threads like these?
I notice that quite a few of the Canadians have dropped out of the discussion. You would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to know that Canada has serious internal problems and problems in its relationship with the US. It seems to me that the Liberal Party in Canada tries to hold the nation together around anti-Americanism. This plus the fact that there has been no change of government at the national level in decades augers poorly for the future of a united and democratic Canada. In world affairs Canada is a basket case. They have certainly had a pasting in this forum over the past couple of days.
