Wow that would easy just drop a huge blob of Crisco on the gound and throw a baseball cap on it!

Hi Guys,
This monument to the war resistors is a travesty to the last century's victims of communism. As a Canadian, I'm embarrassed and ashamed and I would like to apologize to the American people for this totally inappropriate gesture. It's no wonder British Columbia is called the Left Coast.
There is a fairly large group of Conservatives (Republicans) up here who are trying to reverse the left-lib tendencies of the current Liberal government, but the road will be long and hard. In the last election the Conservatives came close to forming the government and barring any political disaster we will form the next government. Unfortunately we only have nominally fixed terms and the Prime Minister has the option of calling an election anytime he sees a political advantage. That coupled with a rabidly left lib press and you can see how far behind the 8 ball we really are.
Please be patient with your northern bretheren, as many of us do support the United States in the War on Terror. We just wish that it was supported by our government as well.

AF, I have fond memories of the "Calgary Stampede" when I was in Aerospace Defense Command (same command that oversaw the Texas Air National Guard units in which GW Bush served). We flew C-119s into many places throughout Canada until I left for Vietnam in 1972 -- I even enjoyed my trips into Yellow Knife. Keep fighting the good fight to restore normalcy North of the border. Would you believe me if I told you my cousin is married to Wayne Gretzky? (Oooops, Oilers and Flames were arch rivals.)

I volunteer to go and christen the monument for them.
Only I won't use champaign.
I will use beer, Canadian or otherwise. Doesn't matter.
Howver, the beer I'll use will have been reprocessed and warm filtered.
Renally. |

Why don't we boycott Canada? Oh, that's right. They have nothing we would want to buy anyway.

I never trusted the Canadians. Do you realize that more than 76% of their population live within 50 miles of the border? I have a friend who thinks that are gathering for an invasion. I guess they would try to kill us through torture - saying over and over again "How's it going , eh?" while slapping us with beaver pelts.

Arthur : How would you ever get a government change if there are no set terms? Please enlighten me to how that works. ..other than the obvious "not well". People in America need to hear this everyday. What would all these liberals think if they couldn't vote every 4 years? And how is the health care system up there? thanks. CTW

I don't know... my love of Country rises above politics. As a guy who enlisted under Ronald Reagan, I understand that the political winds blow to and fro.
I did not enjoy serving under Bill Clinton, but I remained, and I carried out my duties as I would under any President Commander in Chief.
I guess what I am saying is that my desire to serve is not conditional. That would not be pragmatic, for we know things constantly change.
It's not about the politics, it is about the person that has your back when manuevering in close quarters combat, it is about your wingman that flies with you and knows you and checks your six, it is about collecting intelligence that enhances our military endeavors, it is about winning.
We must have faith in our Country above all, and our sacred Country is above the fray.
I beseech you to reconsider your service contingent on the political winds.

I knew somebody would call me out on the carpet over this. I expected it sooner actually.
Normally I would whole heartedly agree with you. Given the current circumstances I too would serve under Clinton though I disagreed with nearly all of his military doctorine. Fact is I would serve under just about anybody other than John Kerry. Given the overtly traitorish behavior of my state senator, and his woefull disregard for the impact his words and actions had on his fellow soldiers while they were still in harms way, make this particular case different for me.
I am not a young man looking to find himself or gain education benefits from the military. Nor am I already in the miltary, and therefore without any choice but to serve whomever is elected. I would be setting aside my life to serve at a time when I feel that my country needs all of it's able-bodied men, under a President that is trying his best to deal with a threat that has been looming for quite some time now. Given virtually all of Senator Kerry's history I do not doubt that he will fail all of those currently fighting that fight.
If he somehow does manage to get himself elected then I will continue to do all I can to support our troops as a civilian, but I will not serve in "his" military. That's how I feel about it, I understand how some would disagree, but I feel strongly enough about it that I am willing to take the heat. |

Looks like one of them didn't quite make it to Canada.
...I feel another trip to the woodshed coming as soon as Admin makes their next sweep through here and catches me drawing grafitti on the walls again.

Bear in mind, everyone, several Canadians are on our side. Like the US, their government and media has been gradually taken over by the left. Seeing this monument disturbs me as well, since I live about 300 miles south of B.C. But, it is just wrong to call all Canadians left wingers just as it would be wrong to call all Americans right wing supremacists.
Let's be a bit more careful lumping everyone under the same umbrella.

No need to apologize - what your government does is pretty much out of your control, at the moment.
One thing that really worries me is that Canada has a real problem with radical Islamo-fascists - especially in the Eastern provinces.
Canada is going to need help and we're already trying to provide what intel and support that we can, but there's some bad blood a'brew, thanks to Canada's two successive "hate America" PM's and the female Foreign Minister who apparently skipped any lesson on diplomacy and foreign relations. (Almost as dim as Madelaine Albright - they should get together.  )
But, it's not the Canadian citizens, for the most part, from what I've seen. I have a couple of good friends in Canada - one in Montreal, one in Victoria. I think the friendship and mutual assistance will resume at some point. (Hopefully in the near future, for the sake of both our countries!)
The Islamo-fascisti don't have a care for the nationality of an infidel. France and Spain are shortly to realize this in a very painful way, just as has Russia. 
Brit Hume covered this memorial thing tonight on Special Report and apparently thousands of Americans have written to the Tourist Bureau of BC - it seems that this has become a concern to said bureau.
American tourists are much more valuable to BC than the few remainders of the Vietnam era in the area. Another case where money talks.
As one Canadian citizen stated, this memorial is completely insensitive to those who went and did what their country asked them to do.
Thousands up in that corner of the US are going to take this as a stab in the back. Nothing good can come from this, as far as I can tell.
Glad you weighed in - it's important to remember that the Canadian people are not our enemies. It's only the 40% of twenty-somethings who hate us, hm?
