<< They impose hefty tariffs on wheat and lumber to protect their own people and starve out thousands on the coast of British Columbia, including some of my family >> Aha! Now we get to the core of the problem. I thought that you were just some rebel, knocking the US because of jealousy, or just because you were bored and needed something to do. So....., to get back at America for tariffs, that effect your family, and that you feel are unfair, you are going to attack "almost" everything American. That is what I call "the real truth". I don't know enough about American tariffs with Canada. I looked it up with Google and found out America exempted Canada from punitive steel tariffs, in March 2002, but that Canada was embroiled in trade disputes with the United States over softwood lumber, wheat and dairy products, at that time. Sounds like things haven't been getting any better for you, on those tariffs. ca.news.yahoo.com I am sorry, and sad, that an American trade policy is harmful to your town and family. You will notice that I have not said anything to knock Canada. Especially, not after what happened in Gander. I am still amazed that a small town of 10,000 people, in Canada, was able to mobilize it's citizens, and the citizens of surrounding towns, to help with 6,000 stranded passengers, from all over the world, including a lot from America. Canadians performed the impossible on Sept 11th, 2001. It shows how resourceful Canadians are. Here is a note that I had previously written about it: Message 18014817

<< But let us go back in history. Who was the first nation to use weapons of mass destruction? Hiroshima? Nagasaki? >> Can you see the difference between the use of the atomic bomb against Japan, during World War II, and the possible use of weapons of mass destruction, by Saddam Hussein, against Israel, America, or his neighbors? << I love that fact that our country has led the way for real economic reforms for Africa and debt relief for third world nations. >> I hope that the dictators and tyrants, in third world nations, who are getting rich, while their people go without, send you a thank you note for your kind donation. << I am glad that Canadians still do business with Cuba because if you ask the Cuban people, they love Castro. >> So, you love the billionaire dictator Castro. He has turned Cuba into a basket case. He stole from thousands of families and enriched himself and his goons. His goons coordinate informers in each neighborhood. Anyone who speaks against Castro can find himself in prison, or without work. Many have been executed without a fair trial. Cuba has a very low standard of living, because of Castro. Cuba could have been a country with the highest standard of living in this hemisphere, if it weren't run by a ruthless, greedy, ignorant dictator. << Just imagine if people like Jesse Helms finally figured out that if you work with Castro to introduce change diplomatically, Cuba would thrive. >> Do you really think that tyrants have soft hearts and only want to be loved? Just give old Castro a hug, tell him you love him, and he will be a good person, rather than an evil person? When Cuba was flush with money from Russia, he was exporting terrorism all over the globe. He is responsible for misery and death all over the place. Could you assure me that, if Castro got additional funds, that they wouldn't go for terrorism, but would go towards the welfare of his people?
