I live fairly close to Canada and enjoy watching Canadian News for its refreshing and unabashed alternate view points from US media. The country is incredibly liberal and yet struggles for identity. In another article in the National Post, Diane Francis of the Financial Post laments....

"Let's hope that Osama bin Laden and his accessories don't catch a flight to Canada because they would automatically be granted refugee status and given medical care, housing and welfare.

Even worse, Canadian taxpayers would be forced to pay for a Legal Aid lawyer to help them fight extradition to the United States on the basis that they may be put to death."

Of course Canada is fighting a "phoney war." How can a country that would defend the chief terrorist and pride themselves on defending him, expect to actually try to kill him in cold blood by military force. Canada is such a country of contradictions. Its population centers and politicians have all the worst properties of England and major US cities. It's rural areas have all the best properties of the best of the US, but they have no political clout. Such a shame!

i suppose that this article is true...

however, think of the damage the canadians could inflict with some hockey sticks and a few pucks. better than any bunker buster we could drop from the sky... (smile, eh?)

One Yank to another: Those Canadians are either whores or hockey players!

Other Yank: Hey! My wife is a Canadian.

First Yank: Oh, yah, what team does she play for?

Just give the Canadian soldiers blanks. That way they can fire away and still be politically correct.

As a Canadian with two American children, I can tell you that I have every mixed feeling about my other country. Three years ago I returned after almost 13 years in the USA, to become chairman of a department at a university there. After altercations with the Office of Anti-heterosexism (no, I'm not making this up!) for refusing to post inverted rainbows on doors, to signify that my department offered a "positive space to gays, lesbians and transgendered individuals" and other such fun, I became convinced that the system may well be beyond salvage for the foreseeable future.

Just prior to my return to the US, an "individual" had successfully convinced authorities to allow him access to the women’s change room at the university sports arena, after he produced a note from his doctor stating that he was undergoing estrogen injections, on the road to becoming a "woman".

One of the last straws for me was a note from the "Office of Equity" requesting my sensitivity in consideration of the rights of alternative faith practitioners. Specifically, the missive informed me that practicing witches, neopagans and druids should be given time off for "their” holidays- and no, I’m not making this up either!.

So, unfortunately, that pretty well sums up the situation in Canada. ‘Nuf said.

Cretien's policy is bizarre in the extreme. I believe some Canadians were already executed a couple of months ago in Kuwait since to the terrorists "we all look alike".

Given tightened security in the US and on the border the less talented or lazy terrorists may just settle for the "target of opportunity" where they are at the moment, say Toronto or Montreal.

This kind of reminds me of the old Jewish tale from Nazi Germany where the family tells the stormtroopers: "We don't even go to Temple." as they are shoved onto the train rolling East.

They need the ground troops to support the ground invasion of Maine and other 'New Eeenglund' states. Blame Canada! *Larf!* All joking must leave now! Much better.. Umm... Has Quebec surrendered to the sami's yet, considering they keep saying that they're French?
