Subject: RE: BS: Canada Election
Mooh,

On your other point, a search of the internet shows over and over a quote, (mostly from political sources): "You have to decide what kind of America you want. It's your country just as much as it is mine." (CSPAN, 2004)

A question. Why would only a short quote be taken out of a longer interview rather than showing the complete interview or at least the part related to the quote? I am suspicious.

Anyway, I believe in giving anyone the benefit of the doubt, looking at a broader slice of a life and perspectives rather than puting everything on something such as that.

I would not be surprised if the attack ad folks will be asking to see Iggy's Canadian birth certificate, to match the USA conservative right attack approaches (it seems to have worked with some down there).

I recall during the election campaign that political operatives challenged Stéphane Dion's Canadian patriotism, because his mother was born in France (giving him dual citizenship, as many loyal Canadians have).
