As Tranny likes to say, Wow! I guess when the US decides to bend Canada over for the Alberta tar sands , through either economic pressure, political or military intervention, the tune will change quickly
LOL....what???

It was an extreme example to try and get people to consider the plight of others. When is the line drawn and when do you finally say that what is happening is wrong? Does something have to happen in your own backyard before you pull your head out of the sand and speak out against it? Would a move against Canada be the only way for people to consider the United States wrong? Maybe a better, and more kind example, would be if the US slapped a 500% tarrif on soft wood, wheat and beef imports to try and get a sweetheart of a deal on Canadian fossil fuel reserves. Would that get the cockles up a bit and seem a little oppressive?
