As A Canadian and a neighbour of America, I am sometimes, frightened, appalled, bored and amazed by America. However, I also admire, respect, am awed, surprised and heartened by that country. We all have faults and America is no exception but I cringe to think where the world would be without this vibrant and intriguing country. As for America as a neighbour...thank god for it when you think who it might be.
