Harper visited the U.S. today and you know who listened down here? Nobody. Canada is not Britian in America's eyes, when will Conservatives in Canada realise this. This want closer relations. Well I have a news flash for them, American general public and Washington could care less. To many Conservatives down here that the Conservatives up there seem to adore with admiration, they think is some mullet wearing, hockey state. I'm not joking on that. They precieve Canada as the 51st state. Wannabe Americans. I don't hold that view but most of the general public does. So why on Earth would the conservatives (in canada) want to get closer with washington.
Its going to end up in a bad way for the torries because they are the girl who is being taken advantage of by her bully boyfriend. Canada will come out of this hurt, but yet she continually wants to come back. This is an abusive relationship. And I guess the Torries (in Canada) like to be abused and taken advantage of. The best example would be Mulroney. His love and admiration for Reagan resulted in the steal of the century in America's eyes: NAFTA. And now Harper is again kissing up to Bush and Canada gets shafted by softwood lumber.
The american public only remembers one Canadian Prime Minister and that was Trudeau. But the first thing they say is that he had a beautiful wife. Thats it, I'm not joking, the next coming of Jesus could be born in Canada and the Americans wouldn't know or take him seriously because he would have grown up in Canada. They simply don't care.
So in an abusive relationship the woman needs to find other friends, well newsflash torries: You have something that the U.S. doesn't have and its not oil. Canada has connections to the Asia- Pacific Rim and Europe that simply are not there in the United States. And when I'm talking about looking in admiration at U.S. conservatives the typical response is "they are our biggest trading partner". Yes and they always will be but that doesn't mean you have to like them. As I said again Canada could become China's biggest trading partner if it wanted to. In other words Canada can survive on its own and prosper without having to be America's lap dog.
