Lets not even talk about the house of commons, anyone who has watched it knows its a joke. No wonder nothing gets done in government. Just once I would like to see a prime minister with a tough stance. If the americans won't let our beef into the states, maybe we don't let our petroleum into the states. Contrary to poular belief about the middle east. Canada is the #1 supplier of petroleum to the U.S. No gas no SUV's and minivans going to work. Thats pressure. Its time Canada became a player in international politics like we were during the cold war instead of waterboys behind the bench.

Below are excerpts from Coulter's and Carlson's Canada-bashing.
From the November 30 edition of FOX News' Hannity & Colmes:
COULTER: Conservatives, as a general matter, take the position that you should not punish your friends and reward your enemies. And Canada has become trouble recently.
It's -- I suppose it's always, I might add, the worst Americans who end up going there. The Tories after the Revolutionary War, the Vietnam draft dodgers after Vietnam. And now after this election, you have the blue-state people moving up there.
[...]
COULTER: There is also something called, when you're allowed to exist on the same continent of the United States of America, protecting you with a nuclear shield around you, you're polite and you support us when we've been attacked on our own soil. They [Canada] violated that protocol.
[...]
COULTER: They better hope the United States doesn't roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent.
[...]
COULTER: We could have taken them [Canada] over so easily.
[ALAN] COLMES: We could have taken them over? Is that what you want?
COULTER: Yes, but no. All I want is the western portion, the ski areas, the cowboys, and the right-wingers.
[...]
COULTER: They don't even need to have an army, because they are protected, because they're on the same continent with the United States of America. If we were not the United States of America, Canada -- I mean, we're their trading partner. We keep their economy afloat.
[...]
ELLIS HENICAN [Newsday columnist]: We share a lot of culture and a lot of interests. Why do we want to have to ridicule them and be deeply offended if they disagree with us?
COULTER: Because they speak French.
COLMES: There's something else I want to point out about the French. Is it's fashionable again on your side to denounce the French.
COULTER: We like the English-speaking Canadians.
From the November 30 edition of CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports:
CARLSON: Without the U.S., Canada is essentially Honduras, but colder and much less interesting.
[...]
CARLSON: We exploit your [addressing Canadian Member of Parliament Carolyn Parrish] natural resources, that's true. But in the end, Canadians with ambition move to the United States. That has been sort of the trend for decades. It says something not very good about Canada. And I think it makes Canadians feel bad about themselves and I understand that.
[...]
CARLSON: Canada needs the United States. The United States does not need Canada.
[...]
CARLSON: I think if Canada were responsible for its own security -- you would be invaded by Norway if it weren't for the United States.
[...]
CARLSON: [A]bsolutely the countries will remain allies and there will always be politicians who see it to their benefit to stomp on Bush dolls [referring to action taken by Parrish]. But no, I don't think the average Canadian feels -- the average Canadian is busy dogsledding.
[...]
PARRISH: No, there's not a lot of dogsledding. There's a lot of dog walking, my friend. Not a lot of dogsledding.
CARLSON: Welcome to our century.
From the November 30 edition of CNN's Crossfire:
CARLSON: Canada's essentially -- essentially a made-in-Taiwan version of the United States.
[...]
CARLSON: I'm surprised there was anybody left in Canada to attend the protests. I noticed that most sort of vigorous, ambitious Canadians, at least almost all comedians in Canada, come to the United States in the end. Doesn't that tell you something about the sort of limpid, flaccid nature of Canadian society, that people with ambition come here? What does that tell you about Canada?

Carlson and Coulter are mean-spirited idiots who know nothing about Canada. Let them say what they want. There are a couple things that should be responded to though...
Let me grab my hat and boots. I can give Coulter a good going over and then start recitng Tommy Douglas speeches to her. That should shut her up for a while. 8)
One word, Tucker. Energy. Without Canadian energy there is no US manufacturing or military. The US wouldn't even be able to feed itself.

Maybe Americans are afraid of us?

Americans are afraid of their own shadow these days. So everything is possible.
I couldn't believe the security around Bush when he was here. It seemed to me that a dictator (and he is one) is visiting under tight security. That means there are a lot of people who like to have the first shot at him.

No Shit! Why didn't you guys arrest him when he was up there yesterday. I am horrified that this guy is going to be running the USA for 4 more years. You know he is going to go into Iran next. Meanwhile, Russia is ramping up their nuclear weapons program. If it wasn't so darned cold up there, I'd join you. I can not figure out why MY party, the Democrats, do NOT go after this lunatic. Bill Clinton was hounded by the Republicans from the moment he took the oath of office. Nothing ever panned out but Ken Starr had Susan McDougal locked up for ever because she wouldn't talk about some stupid land deal in Arkansas... Remember White Water? Why IS Bush waling around FREE while he allows Iraqi prisoner abuse by U.S. soldiers???? While he bombs thousands of innocent people, kills babies and old women? What is wrong with half of this country? Why did ANYONE vote for this bone headed moron? The guy can't pronounce Nuclear. As an American, I am embarrassed by the lameness of "OUR COMMANDER AND CHIEF"no1important said:

Our present Prime Minister is almost as inept as George Bush, June. I never thought I'd be missing Jean Chretien, but between Paul Martin and Stephen Harper Jean looks like a master statesman.
Hey Rev, (or anyone else that can answer this)
Is it true that in his (Bush's) speech yesterday, he referred to Canada as "Europe?" Where the hell did he think he was? Does he even know where Canada is?
By the way, most of us are in shock down here -- At least those of us who would have voted for a rabid, blind MONKEY to avoid what is going to happen for the next four years. Oh, I forgot - He is a rabid, blind MONKEY.
A side note... I was so paranoid about my ballot being tossed in the trash that I got an absentee ballot and before sending it in, I scanned it for evidence...

Ann Coulter is a total idiot. She couldn't find her own ass. People who believe even one word that comes out of her mouth should be deemed mentally incompetent..

Does anyone else see the irony in this former Prime Minister being quoted by President Bush, with Pier 21 as the chosen venue ?

I'm sorry, medical crisis in the U.S.A. make all of us buy Canadian drugs over the WWW. Of Course, Bush is doing his best to stop this too.

Hey June, thanks for your input and welcome to CC!
I think it is your nations first priority not of it's citizens, but of the corporations which profit off of the country's system. Thankfully, there is not a real private healthcare system in Canada and it had best stay that way.
I believe that with a private system we would also have to look at higher costs in prescription drugs due to possible collaboration between drug companies and a private healthcare sector. I'm kind of getting that's the reason why the USA has such high drug costs.
