Hi Solon,

I just found this lovely tidbit about friendship and was looking for a place to post it:

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

What is this nonsense about Corporations retaliating against Canada for a supposed dereliction of friendship?
I hadn't heard about this, but I agree with you. I think they had best keep in mind who our friends are when things really come to a crunch- -and Canada is one of them. I rank you in with the UK in terms of good allies.

Which corporations?

I also disappove of the US timber tariff, BTW. I think the US should give Canada a better deal when it can.

We fought the Second World War for 2 years before our "friend" came to help on a point strictly of self interest re" "Pearl Harbour".
I'm aware of the facts you cite. And that the US did not enter WW1 until 1917.

I think part of the "problem" Canada has is a French-Canadian prime minister. Correct?

We will join the Iraq war in 2008!
Oh, gawd, man, don't even THINK it could last that long!

We fought the First World War for three years before our "friend" decided to help. We fought the Second World War for 2 years before our "friend" came to help on a point strictly of self interest re" "Pearl Harbour". It seems to me you owe us for about 5 1/2 years! We will join the Iraq war in 2008!

OK you do know some history and that is a good point. I bet the war in Iraq is over by 2005.
