ORIGINAL: quietkitten Amen (sorry to be secular!) LadyAngelika. We are our own country, and we make our own decisions. We are. Actually, there was no precedent for Kenin's remark. I can think of a half dozen other important decisions, of the top of my head, on which Canada did not go the same route as the states. - Gun permits/control - Same-sex marriage - Sex laws (in general) - Narcotics laws - Downloading music/software - Banking/deposit insurance laws And the whole governmental structure is different! Blame Canada [image]local://upfiles/36532/E86C8EC2450340B980747F0C34BCC99E.gif[/image] - LA This shows that you truly did not grasp the context of My comment. If you sit and think about it for a second, you will remember things such as the lumber dispute and other key issues that have driven a wedge in US/Canadian relations. This has gone on for 150 years or so. Canada might want to be "our own country", but really she is nothing without the protective wing of the United States. We are completely at their mercy. This ignorant "thumbing our noses" at the US, including our stance on homosexual marriage, is going to bury us. It is not about whether we CAN do it. It is about whether we SHOULD do it and how it affects our relations with our neighbors to the south. Remember, they are the one's with the military. They can wipe out Canada a million times over any time they want. As it is, they have already taken over much of our enterprise. I also touched on the Iraqi war as something else that drove a wedge.
