Americans are not our "best friends"

I have to disagree; I can name many Americans who agree strongly with the Canadian position on 1441. In fact many American people also supported Canada’s offstage proposal at the U.N.

Are there jerks? yes, but every country has them, I suggest that if your Americans friends are jerks, then they really are not your friends.


As far as trade policies, here is an interesting link for you;

I applaud the Canadian political fellows who changed tactics and may get a good solution to the lumber problem.

My friends are not "jerks." Most of them would consider themselves to be patriots; including those who disagree with US policies.

My main concern is that Canadians should stop genuflecting to American policy and set our own course. In this, I truely applaud Chretien's steering Canada out of the Iraq mess. We need more of this independent action.
