A closer Commonwealth should be about building ourselves up, not tearing the Yanks down. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Date Posted: 03:35:36 10/25/04 Mon I find it more than a little disappointing that speaking pro Canada is frequently viewed as anti American in this country (Canada). Seems that speaking pro British might also encourage that same narrow reaction. I sincerely hope that is not what I am experiencing Brent. If the United States of America can do no wrong and must be considered beyond criticism, including their historical and continuing injustices against their neighbour to the North, then may God help us all.

Date Posted: 13:39:08 10/25/04 Mon Bruce: Far from it. I share your feelings regarding our "special relationship" with the US. I have no illusions that they would backstab us if it suited their domestic agenda or their perceived "security interests." I also, however, believe that anything conceived out of anger or haste rarely lasts. Any initiative that brings the Commonwealth closer should be done not to screw the Yanks, but to help ourselves collectively. It should be about building ourselves up, not tearing others down. I believe that the US will have a great reckoning one day. It is incumbent for all of us in the Commonwealth to build a mechanism, whatever it might be, to save ourselves when the American Empire implodes... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
