But, you do have a point. Why put them in rolls? How about a
bunch of dirty old socks?

Or condoms?

Used ones.

Actually, the Canadians have one of the largest military groups now
serving
in the middle east. You are unfairly criticizing them.

Just yesterday, one of their soldiers was killed in an ambush in
Afghanistan, alongside a US soldier.

The reason they have a large presence is that not only did they send
soldiers to support the fighting in Afghanistan, they also sent
warships to
the Gulf to support the blockade, and I believe they are still there
supporting continuing Naval operations. They also have a base in
Afghanistan, and their officers have a presence in Iraq through the
military officer exchange programs with the US.

Overall, numerically they are one of the larger coalition military
groups in the area.

Got some numbers?

While Canada did not specifically join the "Coalition of the willing" in
attacking Iraq, they sent two frigates and a destroyer to the Gulf
region, which were active during the war, plus military planners were
stationed at the Coalition headquarters in Qatar during the invasion.
At the moment, there are something like 2,300 Canadian troops in
Afghanistan.

Bush hates Canada.

....and on 9/11 all your inbounds were diverted to London and
Melbourne, eh?

And that's relevant...how?

Well, you could refresh your memories about how a bunch of *******s
took in passengers from aircraft diverted into, say, Gander. But then,
that doesn't count, does it?

Wow! They they tucked their weiners into their anal cavities.

And that's relevant, how?

And in Halifax, NS. And Vancouver, BC. And Calgary, AB.

There are Americans who return to these places; they have
great memories of their stays with Canadian families and come back to
see them. We're not all jerks.

Don't have any numbers, but it started with the lumber embargo
immediately upon Bush's election (so much for Bush being in favor of
"free trade"). Then an overeaction to the two mad cow episodes with a
beef embargo and then the Iraq war. There are some other things. And
you can tell it from his attitude, he just doesn't like Canada. And it
is much to the US's detriment NOT to have Canada as a good ally. Also,
unless a subsequent administration changed it, Americans are going to
need passports to re-enter the USA from Canada and the US is major
hassling Canadians that work in the US....Maybe hate isn't the right
word, but the Bush administration is mishandling Canadian relations.

Maybe hate isn't the right
word, but the Bush administration is mishandling Canadian relations.

It is handling Canadian relations just as well as it's handling all
other relations.
