I am an ex-pat Canadian living here in the US with my American wife and dual-citizen kids.

I support the war. In fact I support the war vigorously as an advocate on the internet, with my own blog and particularly among my former "comrades" in Canuckistan.

Just as some 20% of Republicans and 50% of Democrats don't support the war here, Canadians are also of two minds, in spite of the fact that the weasel Liberal government and their syncophant media elite poodles officially sit on the fence (Canada is contributing 3 destroyers to "terrorism" patrol in the Persian gulf and taking over many Afganistan duties to free up US resources, and yet the official word is that Canada does not support the US). I am routinely surprised to hear from old friends that want to tell me how angry they are at their government for opposing the war.

Mark Steyn reports that opposition to the war is primarily among francophones in Quebec, who are traditionally against anything anyone else is for (they opposed Canadian involvement in WWII as well...). Anglophones in the rest of the country are pretty much split, and actually far more supportive than the British public.

So while I sympathize with the sentiment expressed by this company, its probably counterproductive to take it too far--as the policy stands now, they would refuse to serve me as well. No sense in alienating those many Canadian who do support US actions...

You have a point. I wouldn't have wanted anyone to blame me for things Clinton (yuk) did while in office. Just like, I don't want to be blamed for Hitlery being my senator.
