I was just having a little rant, that's all. (I couldn't quite tell where you stood from your post, so I got up on my soapbox...)
Yes, I know how closed minded and bigoted many (but not all) Americans are... hell, I live here and see it all the time.
I was born in the US but grew up in Canada, then moved back. I know and love lots of Canadians. (why in fact, some of my best family are Canadians)
I am very happy that Mr. Chretien (sp?) took the stand he did. As I indicated, I think he's a bit of a goofball, but he is worlds better than some of the rightwing Bush clones I have seen up there.... eh?
