Americans are not our "best friends"

Some people can say it better than I can. "Friends are not servants; best friends are not puppets." (from a letter in McLean's)

I guess what upsets me is the toady position of the Alliance Party, led by Steven Harper. He just refuses to stand up to the US on any issue. Real friends are not afraid to criticize.

I believe that relations between Canada and the US would be better if we Canadians would publicly stand up to US policy more often. (As long as we are polite and respectful about it. Name calling goes nowhere.)
