there are Canadians that are just as bad.

I try and walk the fine line of giving credit where credit is due, yet tell it like it is in the real world.

I'm so conflicted when Canadians protest about George W. Bush. On the one hand he's not our president, another country elected him to be their leader... who the hell are we to say they're wrong, their culture, their thoughts, their beliefs, and their opinions on who should run their country is wrong?

on the other hand, he's the most powerful person in the world, and his decisions directly effect us as a nation (as evidenced by even the news clip above) so shouldn't we be able to voice our like/dislike over what someone who has influence and power over our way of life?

I always cringe when I see Canadians protesting Bush, and I think to myself, I hope they're doing it for the right reasons... as it seems like the majority of the time (I'm hate to stereotype) people are protesting for the sake of protesting and civil disobedience. I think that when people are protesting Bush for something to do, or because "it's cool" it looks bad on us as a nation.

Yet... we have the right to do it? Again, a fine line... if someone like Anne Clouter wants to be a Canadian hating broadcaster, you know what... that's her right, and if that's how she believes so be it. Who am I to say she's wrong?

... provided she provides her case. Permitting us to be neighbours doesn't really count as a point.

There's good Americans, there's bad Canadians, and vice-versa. Believe what you want as long as you're justified, I'm not going to make fun of you and call you names (mind you I do like to say Anne "Dumb Bitchfest" Clouter)
