Glad to see Obama is there and hopefully him and PM Harper will hit it off. This is the one nation in the world that has always been there with us- through 2 world wars, a great depression and on 9-11-01. Yes, they have tried to lecture us when we were wrong (Iraq and Veitnam) and alot of us now wish we had listened to them. We share too much with them not to.

Canada is with us in Afganistan and we will get the job done there. We might not accomplish democracy there but we will kill the terrorist and come home.

Of course, they are dependent upon our economy so very much.

They have been and will always be a good friend, no matter who is in the WH - afterall, we protect their borders, don't we?

No sense in having a military to speak of when you have the US as a neighbor.

I always thought of Canada as what America would have been without a Revolution.

Very nice country. It's a very underrated, but amazing place.

Wait... It's just an opinion that we were wrong in Iraq? So in your view it is just an opinion that WMDs weren't ever there? It was just an opinion that Bush & Cheney were wrong when they claimed Saddam was behind 9/11?

You really need to learn the difference between a fact (like there were no WMDs) and an opinion.

Speaking for Canadians, the vast majority of us see you as our best friend as well.
Occasionally you may hear some Canadian politician making noise in an effort to appear patriotic, but it's often rhetoric from a politician hurting in their reelection campaign.

Rest assured the day an enemy ever invades your shores and attacks you we will be there to help.

It's why we without hesitation since 2001 have been in Kandahar and Afghanistan trying to arrest al-qaeda.
Our firefighters flew down to help search for 9/11 victims, and we tried to raise aid to help victims of Katrina.
Recently our firefighters tried to help respond to the fire in Rouses point, New York.

We will stand on guard for thee as well
