Canada's Juniors

I was leafing through the comments on the Team USA loss to Russia, seems the yankee boosters are pissed with the fans booing "our neighbor" and wish us a loss to Russia as redemption for our rudeness.

I laughed.

But really is this attitude a sign of the dissacord between the countries? Our current PM seems to be conveying the sentiment of a large part of the Canadian population with barbs and comments directed at the curent regime in the US, while Harper and Layton stand pat on the subject choosing to not slide off the fence either North or South. This makes me wonder what would happen under a Conservative majority government. Would GW and Uncle Sam take advantage of some sympathy for their Nation's benefit? Have they in the past?

I am a Conservative guy, but I'll tell you what, I just don't trust Harper.

I believe in the traditional definition of marriage, but can see that progress on that front must be made eventually.

I like tax cuts, but prefer a government with additional resources for day care programs and Medicare and the like.

I detest scandals. I detest them more when they are blown to extremes and exorbidant amounts of tax payers money is wasted in a who done it witch hunt. Especially 4 years after the guilty party is long gone from any position of power. I think the reason the Gomery thing was launched was to silence the opposition (yeah like that would work) and set the public at ease that our government wasn't just going to sit back and let this BS slide. Bad move I guess.

Now as you can likely tell I am very "light" on my political knowledge, but I do know one thing. The more the Conservatives occupy my holidays and TV watching time with campaigns and needless elections at bad times, I will keep pulling for "Diamond Joe Martin" and his stance on foreign issues.

Jaysus, it was just a hockey game Jim!
