I agree with Garry there.

RE: BOND… a big smash!

I finally saw it today. There is nothing British about 007. American movie, American cars, and American technology.

RE: Happy Thanksgiving to my American G’s (still early)

>What is thanksgiving? I’ve heard about it but I’m not sure
>what it actually is.

When the pilgrims landed in North America the Native Americans felicitated the europeans with a banquet. In rememberance of that kind gesture Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U.S. with Turkey and Pumpkin pie, amongst other food. It is celebrated as a holiday to give “Thanks” to the Native Americans, even though nowadays some Americans have no idea what Thanksgiving day is about.

Eric,
Glad to know my reputation precedes me. 😉

Also, let me let me live up to reputation by stating that Britain is the true lap dog of the Yanks and not Canada. }>

RE: Canada to U.S.: Mind your own business, don’t tell us how to run our military; calls Bush a moro

Hi TE,
Its a pleasure to see you here as well. I agree with your take on this. The Canadian liberals are trying hard to appease their constituents with statements that are in synch with the liberal platform they were voted on. On the other hand like you said, they know exactly who places ‘bread and butter’ on the Canadian table, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they are doing a bit of damage control viz-a-viz the Yanks as of this moment. With some 90% of the Canadian population also living within 100 miles of the U.S. border(I stand to be corrected), I would think that Canadians are also trying hard to show the world they are not lap dogs of Uncle Sam.

With 87% of Canadian exports ending up in the U.S., it remains to be seen if the continued opposition of American foreign policy by Canada will result in any economic voes. Canadian exports jumped 125% after the introduction of NAFTA, and with the Canadian economy becoming increasingly reliant on the U.S. economy, I am not certain if this is the most appropriate way to voice their opinion at this time.
