Another Canadian here. Sorry if this has been said over and over on other threads; this is the first one I've read after being away for months.

I am embarrassed for the behaviour of my government. Historically, Canada has always been right there to support the US and Britain, but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Canada was ridiculously slow to respond politically to 9/11. Britain immediately swore their support, and had a national day of mourning on September 12. It took Canada four or five days to have a memorial service on Parliament Hill, and our prime minister's response was lukewarm at best.

While the idea of a war horrifies me, there are some dictators who just don't respond to "please". If we are going to reap the benefits of living next to the largest superpower, we should be willing to pay with a little support.

... or our prime minister could AT LEAST stop telling the American public that they are involved in an illegal war.

To reiterate: So much for good neighbours.
