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!

The "Blues"(remember the electorial map of the US) have the upper hand there.

I am 1/2 Canadian, and it's embarrasing.

"Canada is such a country of contradictions."

And we know the fate of contradictions!

God save us all!

Unfortunately, the government teat-suckers and friends are a permanent majority in Canada. There is little hope for reform

I'll drink to a U.S. of North America. ;^)
