Canadians weigh in on debate winner....

[citizen]

The canadians have it right. Check out these quotes from the Toronoto star:

"Kerry won by a landslide. Bush was unbelievably poor. Most of the time I couldn’t understand what he was trying to say, whereas Kerry was quite articulate. I truly feel for the American people if (Bush) is re-elected."
Brian Strachan, Bracebridge, Oct. 1

"The debate showed the American people that Kerry is a more confident leader then Bush, who was lost for words and flustered. The clear choice should be Kerry for President."
Don Lawton, Mississauga, Oct. 1

"If it isn't clear to anyone that Senator Kerry was the winner he can join President Bush in returning to night school to brush up on his grammar. The president proved again that he is illiterate and came across as a frightened child when cornered by Kerry with legitimate statements regarding his decisions."
Caroll Thachuk, Windsor, Oct. 1

"I can't imagine anyone thinking that George Bush won the debate."
Connie Cummins, Pickering, Oct. 1

1. They don't need help with security

Because they don't piss off anyone the way we do.

4. You are so right!

Every time I hear someone like Bill O'Reilly scolding us for not joining in on Bush's plans, even though "the USA defends Candada", it bugs me....We DON'T HAVE ANY ENEMIES!....We will be and have been there for you when it counts....:loveya:

5. Thanks for the quotes, but I take exception to

this paternalistic remark:

"These people are dependent upon us for most of their security too!"

The only invasions Canadians have known have been American.

Our geography is our greatest security, and our greatest threat the border we share with you.

War of 1812 heroine Laura Secord


The Battle of Ridgeway, 1866 (one of the "Fenian Raids" of US state-sponsored terrorism)


From "Secord's Warning":

So all you Yankee soldier lads who dare to cross our borders,
Thinking to save us from ourselves, usurping British order.
There's women and men, Canadians all, of every rank and station,
To stand on guard and keep us free from Yankee domination!

6. Not only that....We don't have enemies that want to get us!

7. as a pal told me,

the only thing georgie didn't do was climb the lecturn and throw his feces to get at kerry.

8. Sorry!

I didn't mean to offend any of you Canadians! ...but only to imply that to an extent, Canadians have a vested interest in the outcome of this election, and therefore a right to an informed opinion.
