Here's a nickel

, buy a clue.

We're on the same side, FRiends. Canada has had a CONSERVATIVE government for just over a year, and we've been kicking a** and taking names all over Ashcanistan since the games began.

Folks like you seem to enjoy complaining about how the USA has to do all this stuff alone, yet when your friend and neighbour is in the trenches with you eating the same dirt and killing the same sandmaggots, all you can do is denigrate and deride their contribution.

It's a small wonder why so few nations want to contribute when any effort to contribute to a common cause is belittled by the likes of you.

You should also know that there is a HUGE difference between knowing something is going on and lodging quiet diplomatic complaints and making a PUBLIC statement as Mr. MacKay did here. Often the backroom comment will get results, but this public comment is intended to provoke a reaction.

lighten up frenchy

I wouldnt call cana-duhs gov. conservitive by any stretch.

Canada does pull its weight when it comes to the war on terror. (sorta)

I am glad they spoke up about iran...but saying iran runs weps is about on par with saying the sky is up.

Its amazing that we somehow pat the backs of politicians for stating the obvious and politically easy.

The New York Police Department, with approxilately 36,000 officers, measures up well ‘gainst Canada’s military. Canada has 62,000 military personnel including 9,500 sailors, 19,500 soldiers, 14,500 air force personnel and 20,000 administrative and support personnel, according to CBC news in July 2006.

Ain’t complainin’ ‘bout Canada’s own private slice of the war, yo, but I do contend that Canada and Europe have been cute little downy chicks hiding under Mother Hen America’s wings since the late 40’s.
