The glowing remarks about positive results such as the softwood lumber deal and future successes on the horizon are in sharp contrast to the often critical comments of the Canadian government under Liberal rule that were common in speeches by Mr. Wilkins' predecessor Paul Cellucci.

Mr. Wilkins said the resolution of the softwood lumber dispute removes what had been an impediment to improved Canada-U.S. relations.

"I think the resolution of this issue is living proof that we have the strongest, best, most peaceful and productive friendship that the world has ever known, and I believe on that issue much of the credit should be given to the President and the Prime Minister. Leadership matters and in my opinion their leadership made the difference," he said of George W. Bush and Stephen Harper.

Can someone hold my hair back while I puke?

   

It's a sad day for Canada when Bush finds our leader someone he can relate to. One can expect Canada/Canadians to play a bigger role when the USA once again decides to overthrow another country. We need opposition in this country and a way of being informed of what Harper and his government is planning. The US intends on building the largest embassy in the world right in Iraq. It will be so big that it can be identified from space. Bigger then the Vadican City.Will the Canadian military be the new tribunes of this fortress? Bush no longer has anything to lose so the ultimate is not above his approach. Harper with his minority government may see the same ambiance. "Nothing to lose". He will do what he desires before his gig is up.

Of course Harper is Bush's new best friend, who in their right might other than these two could befriend each other?

God, I was so hoping that after Cellucci left we would have a better ambassador. No such luck. I need to drag out the catapult again. I am so sick of hearing the USAmerican voice coming from inside my country.

The people of Canada count on its military in time of need. Canadians rely above all on the Military to protect their interests and values.

Our neighbor to the south with its uni-lateral military ideas has forced the issue that Canada must now rethink and rebuild its military levels to a level that will allow Canada to patrol and respond to any threat whether it be Air, Water, or Land in strength as to borders, territory and world peace keeping interests.

If Canada intends to maintain the UN peacekeeping activities as well as other international requests such as those requested by and complained about by the United States of America including their reqest that Canada provide a rapid deployment unit for them.

This will require large purchases of technology, equipment and personnel. Canada is a vast country requiring a larger then most standing military. Already we see Canada’s territory and boundaries challenged by the United States, Spain, Norway to name a few. As previously mentioned, Canada has already been denounced for not having a larger standing military.
