Polotics all over the world can matter and have a direct effect on the USA. 9/11 was not an american action. Thousands of people lost their lives. there is a world out there not one nation, and those are words by JFK.

You know, how did we miss that? We should really discuss Reagan here a bit.

I mean, really!

I'm not even gonna post the links...

Actually, Canada does a lot in international politics, we are just not like you overbearing Americans that need to dominate the decision making process. We prefer to ask the other countries what they need of us, instead of giving them what we feel they need.

Canada has always been one of the most steadfast supporters of the UN, we always contribute money and troops to UN sanctioned efforts, we just do it quietly in proper Canadian fashion.

Take that macho ******** somewhere else, like Iraq maybe.

Canada actually has politics, unlike America which has a collection of walking corporations pretending to be human by looking and sounding good on TV. And I blame the American public for voting these ******* in. There have been very good alternatives like McCain or Tsongis (sp?).

Listening to Canadian politicians is an amazing experience as an American because I don't feel they are trying to sell me something dreadful as a cure for all ills.

Classic case in point was the spotted owl. Neither side was mature enough to admit that on the one hand we had jobs and on the other we had an endangered species - and we had to choose between the two. Both sides were saying their plan would save both - thus we never get to the point of dealing with reality: what is going to happen to the unemployed lumberjacks? Or is there actually an alternative place for the owls? Who are we going to actually plan to move? Neither of course.

Listen to any state of the union speach by any of the last four US presidents. Its amazing how many great things they say they did, or are doing: and yet in the real world very little is changed by any of it. They take credit for all economic gains and blame all losses on the other party. I have never heard a single one say the econonmy grew because the American people actually worked more. Would a general take full credit for victory on the battlefield? And how much less control does the US president have then a general?

You mean these things are illegal? That is the normal night on the town for most average Canadian men

Sorry for the delay, I was quite slow on this one.

Had Bush not planned the 9-11 attacks, the economy would be much better I guarantee it. So don't sell the prez short on his impact on the economy.

Try having sex and not paying, and you will find out the answer you seek.

Are you familiar with the word "pimp", do you know what their job description is?
