I don't think Canada, or the Canadian government should ever give Americans a blank cheque of support. Doesn't make sense.
But find a way to remain supportive of at least some of their innitatives, and say no when you must with some class to avoid the mess we've now built for ourselves.
Chretian suggesting they brought 911 on themselves - he's allowed to think such a thing, I'd disagree, but don't get quoted on it.
Parrish et al - internal muzzle on these things to stop them from happening. If he would have hammered that assistant that first stepped out others wouldn't have followed.
Act like you have a clue - don't suggest support for something (missile defence) then let months go by without committing to either side only to pull out at the last minute.
and I'm sure there are a dozen more examples.
