AI's CWoB: YellowText: ""Yes, but is it possible that I have Canadian enemies?" Those two words were in itself amusing enough. What do you have to do to acquire a Canadian Enemy?"

Getting to the root cause of pro-American toadyism: "These are difficult political times for my age group. I'm old enough to remember when Canada was denounced in the U.S. as a Communist satellite for opening relations with China; as a false friend for our lack of enthusiasm for the war in Vietnam; and as a haven for traitors, draft-dodgers and deserters. I suppose, were Mr. Mulroney in power in 1968, he would have deported the scum -- for, as loyal Americans knew at the time, the root cause of draft-dodging is a lack of patriotism.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem to me that any of those exercises in independent statesmanship turned out all that badly, for either country. Would Nixon's summit with Mao in 1972 have gone so smoothly had Canada not preceded him? Would America be better off today had thousands of college students rotted in jail until Jimmy Carter got around to declaring an amnesty in 1977?"

Sorry for the long quote but this is important.
