Oh Canada, will your Red Maple Leaf soon be replaced by a Red Crescen

Silly question. Why do you think so many Americans wear a Canadian flag
on their jackets when they travel overseas?
.................................................. ...........................
This has been fun although the flip remarks have added rich new
meaning to the term "non-sequitur."
I think it is sufficient to say that Canada is a separate country
from the USA with a different set of values and customs as well as
having much in common. Many Canadians have chosen to live and work in
the US and many Americans have found a better life in Canada. Millions
of people
cross the border each month for work, vacations or to visit family.
But it is still a different country. Actually, it is one of the few
countries left where US tourists can feel at home (although Quebec is
a bit of a stretch)(not that there's anything wrong with that). A
friend of mine who has lived and worked for decades in both countries,
says that Canadians are much more European in their thinking. It is
deceptive, because the two countries LOOK the same.
Curiously, this week's Maclean's magazine www.maclean's.ca
published a survey of US-Canadian attitudes (1269 Canadians; 1000
Americans). To quote from the report, "American foreign policy is
driving negative reaction in Canada towards the U.S government, its
leadership, and perhaps even the people who live there" (M.Marzolini,
chmn of Pollara Inc.)...." A widespread concern over where the war on
terror is leading us has created an historic rift between
the two countries. "We've never seen results this negative...In the
past, we've felt strongly about the American leadership, but it hasn't
spilled over to the US population." "
Anyway, I don't think that this topic is suitable for shortwave.
radio so I will cease and desist. In my defense, I say that a heading
"Has Canada Gone Totally Insane" was both provocative and in my
opinion quite uninformed. For those interested in getting more
information, I would suggest they listen to
the CBC for a different point of view cbc.ca on shortwave or the
internet.

Play nice... You might want to escape to Canada when they restore the
draft next
next year and join the thousands of US expatriates who have elected to
live in a country that hates war, is liked around the world, and that
enables them to live their lives quietly and free of jingoistic
uproar.

I really don't think I have to worry about the draft, much less running away to Canada.

I have three honourable discharges already.
