You are new here so I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you have not read many threads. Both sides seem fixated on the wedge issues. These are just distractions to energize the base on both sides. The real issue is the economy, these other issues are simply distractions.

How does a weaker ally and close friend make you stronger? You will have to explain that one to me.

Bingo!

Canada would prefer that the US just slide somewhere in between Luxembourg and Belgium, geopolitically speaking. With Obama they think they will get that. Of course, due to their proximity to us, they have never been threatened by any other nation.

If they had a nasty little dictator with a sizable military next to them it would be an entirely different story.

Of course, our conservatives are a lot more far right than their conservatives. In Canada, Obama would be considered centrist or right of center IMO.


Who do Canadians want to vote for? Barack Obama - The Globe and Mail
Sounds like Obama should run for their office

As do you.

And you being someone who probably gets their news from the mainstream media I have one question: Did you know that a border patrol agent died as a result of gun running operations to Mexico by this country?

Bet you didn't.
