#1 It is good to see our Canadian neighbors are putting up a fight now, thanks to Mr. Harper. It has been over 50 years since Canadians have been in battle.

This very unit, the Princess Pat's were stout soldiers facing Chinese 'human wave' assault tactics at Kapyong in 4/51 alone with some Aussies, winning a Presidential Unit Citation for their brave stand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Patricia's_Canadian_Light_Infantry#Kapyong).

It is good to see our Canadian neighbors in the fight. We need them with us in this existential battle.

#2 I'm convinced western Canada is not populated with the same pussies inhabiting Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec, in general.

#3 Frank, you're right. It's the Canadian red v. blue states scenario. The westerners have spine.

#4 It has been over 50 years since Canadians have been in battle.

You're forgetting, like many Canadians do, those Canadians that fought in Vietnam.

As far as westerners are concerned, I think the ones you have in mind are Albertans. Otherwise, the west is blue as blue can be.
