Kerry: Gaining Edge on Terror
| Sun, 07-25-2004 - 6:35pm |
"Senator John Kerry said on Friday he would seek to persuade voters over the next three months that he would do a "better job than George Bush" in protecting the nation from terrorism..." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/25/politics/campaign/25KERR.html?ei=5065&en=789ba5a17982cc66&ex=1091332800&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print&position=
"In response to a question, Mr. Kerry said he has given no thought to the possibility of a terrorist attack taking place in the midst of the presidential campaign. "I don't think about it; I can't control it," he said." http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2004/07/i_cant_conrol_i.html
He certainly can inspire confidence.

Canada was involved 3 years ahead of the US in the boh the last two WWs and was there in Korea as soon as the UN called.
You seem to be under the impression that Canada doesn't have a military because we rely on the US/UK for protection, as you express it. Naaaaah! Wrong!
We tend to fear the US more than rely on it. Even your ambassador to Canada has issued thinly disguised threats to Canada when we didn't go along with the US in Iraq and most recently when the US didn't like Canada's drug policies. Those of us who have been around for a while also remember threats regarding VietNam and Canada's social programs.
During the cold war it was abundantly clear that American/Russian hostilities would wipe Canada off the map as an afterthought.
We're not relying on you for protection, we just refuse to play your stupid game.

Of course they were...they were still a sovereing possesion of Great Britain, and since Great Britain was in the war, so was Canada......sorry cant pull the wool over someones eyes that knows a bit about history.
Canada (the government) is very happy with the fact that they share a common border with the US, and due to the proximity of the two countries, they can count on the US to assist in defending the country. If you believe otherwise, you would be naive to do so.
<<Canada uses its military whenever the UN calls (for actual peacekeeping....not what the US seems to think peacekeeping means) >>
Really? I thought Canada called nearly everyone home.

Sorry, but we ARE a sovereign nation. Your view of history and our involvement in previous wars is totally skewed.
Please go back and research your history. Until 1982 your country was still under the rule of Great Britain and Parliament still had some control in Canada with respect to the laws, etc.
Also, I hardly think that the US is openly shipping guns illegally across the border to Canada, so it seems like you are experiencing the same thing that we here in the US are, and that is the fact that criminals will be able to get their hands on guns no matter what laws are passed with regards to legal gun ownership, so that blows the gun control measure out of the window.
It seems as though your borders are just as pourous as ours, which is why we have to be all the more careful.....with regards to the Mexican border, that situation is a total disaster as Mexico has absolutely no control of who enters or exists their country. At least in Canada your immigration officials try to make an effort as do ours.
