TO HELL WITH WHAT THE U.S. THINKS

Canadian Alliance Leader Stephen Harper is afraid that decriminalizing 
marijuana will damage the relations between your nation and the U.S. and he 
urges your government not to do it, lest the big, bad U.S. gets upset.

As a U.S. citizen, I am outraged that the U.S. government would have the 
audacity to threaten Canada with anything for anything! I would hope that 
Canada would have the courage and fortitude to listen to its citizens, do 
what's right for them, and to hell with what the U.S. thinks!

If more nations would have the backbone to stand up to the U.S., maybe this 
country wouldn't be the out-of-control bully it has become.
