I have to pipe in as a Canadian...
Chretien is an idiot. Our country has had very little growth under his government. I would love to see a change but I doubt that any other current potential PM would be much better (sad times).
While I am still unsure whether or not all out war was warranted, I firmly believe that Canada should support the coalition forces in Iraq. Full support. It feels like a family affair out there... and for some reason we are still at home.
And besides, relations with the US were already strained and tense... from softwood lumber to potentially allowing terrorists into the USA (however much that may have been hyped up by the media), the attitude towards Canada by the average US citizen has gotten much worse then I ever thought possible.
And while Canada has been bringing in more business from across the pacific lately, I still believe we need to have take advanatage of our natural trading position with the US to grow. Diversify and expand.
A side note on the demonstrators I have seen... all a bunch of hippies out to make a point and a bunch of punks there to riot. Neither group of people even understand the situation I think. Both groups are demonstrating for the social aspect - hippies to get together and share love and hug trees, and young punks to riot and get rowdy...
but according to Controlthy, I should move out of Canada, and 12clicks doesnt care cuz I am a Canadian and beneath notice... I luv this place
