I'm a nice guy and so are you, and so are a heck of a lot of American's.
The problem is not so much with the people, it's with the SOB's running our respective governments.
I will say that Canada once was in good standing around the world, but it too is falling down.
Canada has many of its own problems, some of them worse than what we see in America.
Canada is right along side the US in destroying Haiti and in destroying Afghanistan based on the exact same set of lies used by the US to invade those respective countries (both invasions under Chrétien's orders mind you).
Canada has almost the same stinking Patriot Act that the US has, and it's about to get right up there after that SOB Cotler passes new legislation called "Lawful Access" which will allow the government to spy on Canadian's internet activities without a warrent.
Free speech in Canada is far more repressed here in Canada than it is in the USA, although that may be changing soon as the US will be enacting "hate laws" similar to what's in Canada (the hate laws have nothing to do with preventing hate, and have everything to do with shutting you up).
I'll be more than happy to point the finger at France, Germany and the Netherlands, as well as just about every other country in Europe for participating in and taking advantage of the 9/11 (11/9) reaction. Europe seems to be ahead of the pack with censorship laws designed to shut you up, and an idiotic constitution that nobody supports or even understands.
Honerable mention goes to Britian for being Bush's ass kisser, electing all over again the same criminally insane leader, and then bombing themselves on 7/7. Recently the Brits fell to an all time low after two British operatives were caught in Iraq on a terrorist bombing mission. The Brits got so freaked out by the capture, they had to break the two men out of jail before they could be made to talk.
Like it or not, I'm afraid we're all in the same boat together and each of our respective governments have lies, blood, and repression on their hands.
