I remember when I first discovered that the band Rush was from Canada.  I was thrilled and full of pride that my people had immigrated so far north into the untamed masses of trees, and lakes.  That my people could play instruments so far into the northern cold.....I was proud that they could write lyrics so well and record with such engineering and production excellence.

Because of the singular accomplishment known as Rush, Canada will always hold a special place in my heart.

I just think between the two countries we have the best looking woman in the world. And they are all available to all of us.

I'm grateful for Canadian help in Afghanistan and I can understand if your country didn't want to take part in the Iraq war.  The 'problem' was your PM and government just wouldn't  let it go at that and started pointing 'moral' fingers at the US.   That just wasn't necessary and it caused a lot on unneeded hardship for everyone.

We thought we did.  But the natives insist the country we annexed is called "Afganistan" or something.  Maps are so confusing.

I must have missed that. I noticed when the Prime Ministers aid called the President an idiot..But I missed the whole moral finger thing. We just didnt play along thats all.

Honestly I don't see how Americans can be upset at Canadians regarding Iraq.  Canada did their share in Afghanistan, and their armed forces have major funding/manpower/logistical issues which can't be fixed in the short term.
