'Try to walk a mile in fur-lined Canadian galoshes while you consider the following.

As the U.S. prepared to attack the Taliban, Bush called for allied support. Canada responded by sending troops to Afghanistan.

And how did the president say thank you? By imposing a massive tariff on Canadian softwood lumber, a tariff that threatened doom for the West Coast lumber industry and made a mockery of our vaunted North American Free Trade Agreement (not to mention the supposedly fundamental Republican commitment to free trade). The World Trade Organization criticized the U.S. tariff as pure politics. The Canadian government howled. No matter.'

Bingo .... it is the hypocrisy that gets under our skin, the one-way nature of the street of understanding ... you personally will remember how last fall when canadians along with the rest of the civilised world swore solidarity with the victims at the WTC, among whom were twenty-five of our number by the way, and we were up on our hind feet saying ready aye ready let us discourage this sort of thing because to do so is vitally important, we were shocked to discover what was more important to some apparently powerful among the backroom boyz of DC - sucking a billion dollars a year out of our forestry communities - #reply-16586438

Rulers of the US could improve considerably our view of them with a little self-education of their surroundings, some genuine application of a proposal for which your president is noted - 'Juntos podemos', and an attempt at understanding the whole reciprocal depth to his statement 'You're with us, or you're against us'

For what it's worth, we would rather be with you ... were it our choice
