S. She is Canadian and I am American. I could not believe the Anti-American sentiment I have seen in the news and read in the paper. Everyone bashed George Bush (who I wholeheartedly support) and praised John Kerry. I am from Kerry's home state of Massachusetts and thank God every day he did not win the election. I think Kerry has the same poor leadership qualities as Paul Martin. And now everyone wants to legalize marijuana as it will save money and police lives! That is ridiculous. I read the commentary about the four Mounties being killed that suggested if marijuana was legal they would not be dead. That is a completely self-serving statement from a pothead trying to get his favorite drug legalized. Those brave officers were killed serving a warrant for stolen property and found the grow-op while serving that warrant. I am also amazed how gay marriage is being shoved down everyone's throat by the Prime Minister. I thought it was a democratic government up here. I was ashamed enough when my home state had gay marriage jammed down its throat by a self-righteous judge, but to have the PM say his party must toe the line is laughable. If slightly more than half the country is against it, the PM is out of touch forcing his views upon the masses. I won't even get started on the extreme over-taxation Canadians must endure. If Canada wants credibility in the world its citizens must stand up and start fighting this corrupt government and say enough is enough. I look forward to my dual citizenship and am proud to say that my wife is Canadian. I just hope that Canada will someday be the country my wife thought it was and will be a nice place to raise my children. William Kelley Mississauga - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
