Canada is a resource-rich country with a very small population. As long as George W. Bush is president of the US, Canadians will quite naturally fear, if not actual invasion, at least some form of coercion when the US has wasted its own resources and needs more to sustain a certain level of lifestyle.

I honestly wish that a US administration would return to the days of American isolationism, and focus the huge amounts of money that are available in that wealthy country on domestic issues. The infrastructure, education system, health care, poverty, racism, waste, the environment -- these are not problems unique to the US. But the US has so much money! So much could be accomplished for Americans themselves, if an administration would focus within.
