Thats fair enough, I too was not going for a tit for tat, just showcasing the fact that neither countries are perfect, nor ever will be, but its darn close compared to others, we do what we have to do to survive and flourish, as well as have the freedoms we all enjoy, its a tough one to balance. That story did make news up here, and did cause an uproar, I was quite upset, and there has been more you probly have not heard about, but the bottom line is nothing has gone through, and the day it does the true patriotic everyday GENUINE Canadian will stand up to stop it, we share alot of similar views, just different on how to go about it. What I find unfair with the US media alot is they like to focus on negative stories, you always here about the bad we are doing, and how soft we are, but there is never reports about the good we are doing. Alot of Americans are uneducated on the commitment and losses we have undertaken in afghanistan, the money we have spent developing new technologies to fight terrorism, quite frankly we don't have the manpower to do what the USA is doing to combat terrorism, whether I agree with it or not. I accept the fact that Canada is not important to the everyday American, I understand it, you have bigger fish to fry, but we are sometimes labelled in a really unfair light by your media, about the only time I see a story on any of the major news stations in the USA is when we do something stupid, which I admit happens, and then alot of Americans buy into it without realizing the good we are doing far outweighs the bad.
