Anti-Canadian Rant in TX

Carol’s sister lives and works in Dallas, TX. She was harrassed for being Canadian yesterday. Here’s what she said:

“I was getting gas last night and some guy started pointing at the Canadian flag on my truck. He started yelling at me. Where’s Canada in the war. You abandond us. I just smiled. Easy for him to say something but I don’t see him over there either.”

I don’t fully agree with the stance the Canadian government has taken in regards to Iraq. A lot of Canadians disagree with the method, but understand something had to be done with Hussein. A support role is about all Canada can offer anyway seeing as our military is so grossly underfunded.

If you’re American who dislikes us for our war stance, think before you put us down. Just because some moronic politicians in Ottawa have done some boneheaded things of late doesn’t mean we all think that way. Also, we have in a round about way made winning this war possible for you by providing support and protection in the Arabian Gulf via our naval ships. Finally, our peace keepers in Eastern Europe and Afghanistan have freed up your troops for a more focused operation in Iraq. Sounds like full support to me. The only difference is we have no ground troops there as they’re all committed elsewhere.
