Just because we are trading partners with the United States does not have to mean that as a Nation it therefore follows that we are at the beck and call of the United States.
It does seem to me that those who are upset that Jean Chretien made the decision not to join the United States in its uncalled for war in Iraq - which by now is pretty clear on the subject of WMD's NOT there, that far too many Canadians are responding with a false "indignity" and are solely interested only in the trading aspect of where Canada is concerned.
Not to stand up for Canada and its right not to invade a foreign country is the plain cowardice of those who are involved in the Big Business end of the relationship between our two countries.
Would someone care to tell me, as a Canadian, just when was the last time the United States did something really good for Canada.
Sounds to me like Canadians are deathly afraid of the United States, something that I find absolutely abhorrent to say the least. Where on earth did our pride in our own country go that we should cower before the United States?
Shame, shame on Canadians who would have wanted us to join the debacle that has become Iraq.
