CBC is about as close to an honest, truthful news network as you'll find anywhere in the world. I know a lot of American intellectuals who would love to get CBC Newsworld.
I agree that Canadians who worry about America should also be worried about our own government. There was an almost complete blackout of our involvement in the coup in Haiti.

You guys are really getting the wool pulled over your eyes. The Canadian government is just as, if not even more corrupt then the U.S. government, the difference is nobody pays attention and the U.S. acts as a scapegoat to always take attention off of Canada.
What do you think is worse, the U.S. invading Iraq and being honest about it, or the fact that Canada has/was/and is sending troops to Iraq and lying to its people about it?
I'd rather the devil I know than the devil in secret any day of the week.
I may totally disagree with the U.S. action in Iraq, but I disagree with the Canadian governemnt lying about their involvement even more.
