How is it appropriate in that circumstance to turn him over to the U.S.?
You're the skipper of the U.S.S. Teapot. You find a man wanted for serial murder and rape in Ontario in a rowboat in the Caribbean. Do you just ignore him?

That aside, in concrete terms all Canada has done is behave like a sovereign nation.
There's some justice to that. And some not. If it has not already, I'm sure the US would gladly charge him with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

And the inexcusable behaviour of those who harrassed the kid's hockey team demonstrates that not all the mental midgets in Canada are in Parliament.
Maybe you need a larger Parliament. At least you know where they are. :-)

Frankly, the Quebec tourism industry deserves to lose its U.S. customers. Maybe a cold dose of economic reality would remind people of the manners they've forgotten.
I don't currently have travel to Canada planned (although I will be in the home country of both our nations, Britain, next week), but I won't avoid it (except Quebec) over this. We've been to Victoria and talked of a return visit to that lovely town. This won't get in the way.

We've always had USAphobes.
And we've always had a contingent that hated Canada. I could never make sense of their reasons, but there are such.

If that's the case, well, we've got a timeline for a definite change of leadership, and hopefully that will bring some brain cells back to foreign policy.
What happens to the Canadian Confederation in that case? The Quebecois seem under the impression the prime ministership is now theirs by right of birth.
