Canada is viewed inside the Bush White House as a minor irritation; a nation with little credibility on major issues such as the war on terrorism that nonetheless still "cries out" occasionally like a child angered with its parents.

Well, maybe if our stupid delusional Prime Minister wasn't such a small minded self important moron who thinks that taking shots at the best neighbor a country could ever hope for and a President that dwarfs him in terms of intellect makes him seem "sophisticated" this situation wouldn't exist. Ya think so? Hmm, Jean?

BTW, for anyone who isn't aware of it the Toronto Star is a complete Liberal mouthpiece. Believe it or not, next to The Star the NYT seems positively right wing.

You got it right about the "Star" - a wonderful light in the heavens it is not. There is however, the flamboyant Toronto Sun. A curious 'ahem, contradiction in a way. Heavily built(endowed) female persons in various states of undress appear.

Prominent in this publication is Peter Worthington, redoubtable defender of the alliance between the two countries.

Many of the silent majority here, surely wish the United States a wonderful weekend.

A well meant statement though on the "Star" - when it is not bashing the Toronto Police department- which keeps them safe in their beds, it strains itself and occasionally does some decent, objective reporting.

The National Post and Ms Blatchford are very solid for the GOOD things America represents, throw in Mark Steyn as well. Cheers.

Whoops, sorry. Should have perused your profile first. As a Torontonian you already know these other publications. Thought I might inform our American friends.

All is not lost- Canadians may be sleeping giants.
