#2 The Brits colonized Australia with Irish and left the French in Canada. Should anyone be surprised at the differences in two former colonies? The Aussies kick ass and take names while the Canucks are cheese-eating surrender beavers.

#4 Too bad. I thought I thought it was Howard Dean who had decided to help in the WOT. He would just have to utter his world-renowned scream: "Aaaaaaaarrrrr"
and Zapatero would have sent the whole Spanish Armed Forces to Iraq.

#5 ya moosehead is good beer - but i refuse to buy it anymore - there are plenty of good US brands of the same caliber to drink....

Economically in the long run we could get by without canada (yes I know canada is our largest trading partner - but the exports account for roughly 20% of the US economy) but the canadians would be doomed. Thier economy is above 50% dependent on the US. That is why they make a big fuss for few but shut up and hunker down pretty quick.

#6 I second what shipman said in #1. I often feel like I'm living in enemy territory.

#7 If only the Quebecoise WOULD secede, it would improve all of Canada about 250%!

#10 Just wait till the next election in Australia--another war-mongering proBush neo-con agenda supporting government turned out of power

#11 That's right NMM. Get the actions guys out and bring on the clowns who can watch a genocide an not be moved to intervene. That's what the world needs - more politicians that think Uday's raping parties are a spectator sport.

#13 Shipman--who said anything about Jewish people--but you? What does being Jewish have to do with Australian elections since they are a small minority in that country?

#14 NMM - you are so yesterday, figuratively and now, literally
