Speaking as a "Canuck-American" (my mother was born in Sorel, PQ), I've always been very proud of my close association to Canada.

I will always be grateful to the brave Canadians who have stood by us during our worst times - one of those was during the Iran Hostage Crisis when the Canadian Embassy sheltered American diplomats from the mobs, at great risk to themselves.

Our good neighbor to the North is suffering the same misfortune as we are here in the States: not paying close enough attention, which allowed the leftists to take over our institutions and our government.

I am not going to allow the stupid remarks of a few stupid politicians to change my opinion of the good people of Canada.

Thank you for your kind and insiteful commentary. I think you hit the nail. Canada is suffering from a bad case of the trots, the libs will pass and we will feel a hell of a lot better once they have been dumped.

Well said.

I well remember the Hostage crisis too. I was proud of my country on that one. Many Americans have not forgotten that and are quick to give credit where credit is due. Just forgive this Country for what it has now. It's no small wonder that Chretien and Clinton were such buddies. Two peas in a pod!! I also don't blame the Americans who get p o'd at the recent stuff. A lot of them don't know a lot about this Country and if they just swallow what is front and centre on the TV it gives a pretty bad impression. Especially when side kiss opens his mouth and speaks (or tries to)!!
