Quite interesting isn't it? We'll cry and whine and maybe the US will give us something, even Canada. Well the people up here in Canuckistan can maybe learn something like giving money is good, but supplying something behind it is better.
Somehow or another people up here seemed to think that despite the anti-American rehtoric coming from the flapping heads in Ottawa, the general anti-US sentiment on the street, as well as the other crap along with the $190 billion that they donated(only some going directly to Iraq, the rest to the UN), that this would ensure that they got something out of the reconstruction. Sorry! About time that this "G8" nation learned the hardway that money doesn't buy everything.
Atleast now with our current Priminister on his way out, an 'appointed' priminsiter coming in(wait do I live in a monarchy or a democracy?), and the merger of the two right-wing parties up here maybe we can get back to some more positive US relations. But maybe I'm just being hopeful.
