U.S. voters facing crucial decision (Toronto Star)
Editorial spells out how, I think, alot of Canadians feel. We support Americans but not the Bush admin. However, if you elect (sic) him again...

1. Well, you know how at least half the population feels.
Dedication to ousting the Boy Prince hasn't run this deep or this strong, so I only hope the world can be as generous towards the population of this country as Canada has.

I wish the election were tomorrow.

5. Interesting take on the situation
You voted for him - you're responsible.

Especially interesting, seeing this in the Star. Isn't it normally right wing?

7. No, the Star is probably the most left-leaning of Canada's big papers.
Globe and Mail is fairly centrist, while the National Post and The Sun are both very conservative.

10. This is the first time I have EVER heard the Star called right wing!
The right wingers, like Stephen Harper, the leader of the Conservatives for instance and other rt wingers are always referring to the Toronto Star as a left wing or socialist paper....:)

9. Interesting article, thanks for sharing
I hope Canadians, and indeed the rest of the world, can be as forgiving of us as the article seems to imply, providing we boot Bush&Co out in November!
