U.S. Actions Towards Canada Can Cause Us To Mispercieve

Interesting (but long!) article.

For those not so inclined to read it, basically it is summarized by "If the US has, since the early 1900's, had plans to invade Canada and; since the 1930's actually practiced in war game scenarios the invasion of Canada and; had many suspect agents infiltrate political parties and; been suspected of rigging elections and; conducted covert operations in Canada seeking secret military bases and; suspected of monitoring public officials, then why do we continue to believe they have no hostile intentions toward us? Do we believe so firmly of this that all other evidence is dismissed outright because it doesn't agree with our perception that they can simply buy what they want or don't already own?"

What's the difference in those two stories? One empahsized we may start selling oil to China (grounds for 'regime change'), the other emphasizes US guns on Canadian streets.<br />

Read it. It's short, and enlightening to see what her priorities are with this visit.<br />

Still think there are no hostile intentions?<p>---<br>"If you must kill a man, it costs you nothing to be polite about it." Winston Churchill<br />

If other nation’s people in this world can see what the United States does to Canada, why can't Canadians?

It is not as if it isn't documented as this author has stated and shown!

Canada is too close to the United States of America. We can't see the knife in our back when we are shaking their hand in friendship!

It is time to diversify our foreign interests before they just take Canada over!

>>Canada is a fragile country, despite its size and apparent wealth. Like the Dutch relentlessly repairing their dikes, Canadians must relentlessly repair their national political structure. Canada is not robust. When Canadians refuse to examine evidence of U.S. hostile actions, then they needlessly imperil the nation. That is a difference that weighs against hand-me-down history and quick dismissals of facts. That is a difference that favours doubt and favours a history that is conscious of its cognitive faults.<<

Does one need to say more?
