Yes some of your politicians made that knee jerk accusation, and didn't
retract their statements, this was after we entertained your stranded
citizens from diverted planes and got zero thanks from Bush.


How do you know your PM didn't get a thanks in a phone call from Bush.



Very unlikely. Bush and Chretien hated each other with a passion. The good
side of the coin is, our idiot has retired from politics. Yours is still in
power.


Well, I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Gieco.

Right. How do you know?


Why didn't you answer my question, eh? Your statement was not a question -
just a statement starting with HOW and ending with a period.

It's the penalty for not having blue eyes and blond hair


Hey, if Canada didn't want him back why should we care about where he
gets shipped off to?

At least this time you checked on your English grammer and ended a statement
with a period. Like I said your "question" did not end with a question mark. In
much of the world (obviously yours is excepted) questions end with a question
mark. Do you mean to say this is another difference between Americans and the
rest of us - no question marks ending American questions?

I love it when debates on usenet always end up in spelling and grammar criticisms.
I'm impressed that you hadn't corrected his spelling of grammar when he used it to
correct your grammar

Anyways, enjoy your English 101 class gentlemen

Actually Canada did want him back. The problem is that he was shipped off to
Syria without anybody knowing beforehand.

I do have to say though that BOTH the US and Canada ****ed up on this one, even
though it could be argued that the US ****ed up worse.
