[sic. I can't find the source for the article I was sent below] eBay vendor locks us out By Philip Lee-Shanok The backlash over Canada's decision not to join Operation Free Iraq has moved to the Internet with a U.S. eBay vendor refusing to take Canuck bids. A notice posted on eBay by CompAtlanta, a Georgia-based computer company, says: "At the present time, we do not ship to or accept bids from Canada, Mexico, France, Germany or any country that does not support the United States in our efforts to rid the world of Saddam Hussein. If you are not with us, you are against us." CompAtlanta's Sid Mitchell said Canada's refusal to help "is like a slap in the face. I felt like I needed to make some kind of statement to support our president in the small way that I could," he said, adding he has received email of support from Canadians and Americans. eBay Canada spokesman Andrea Hynes said Mitchell's listing violates the Web site's user agreement which forbids political statements. Mitchell said he can sell to whomever he wants and as soon as the war's over he'll go back to selling to Canadians. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anti-Canuck sentiment on the rise in U.S. 'What kind of friends are they?' http://www.canada.com/search/story.aspx?id=6e811a76-a952-4a82-880a-debc4a529 eb0 or http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q14852AF3 CanWest News Service OTTAWA - Whether it's the booing of Canada's national anthem by Florida hockey fans, anti-Canuck remarks in the American media or an eBay seller's decision to cancel a winning bid by a Canadian, Canada-bashing has started to appear south of the border. [...] and although I don't watch hockey it was on local TV where a US team got booed as well, they still won the game though :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm sure there are many things we are not and will never be aware of and so I don't expect a conclusion to this post, nevertheless, I do tell myself "the roles were reversed once upon a time": Where was the US when Canada went over to Europe to help fight the Germans who had another fanatical leader who was trying to take over the world. Our parents and grandparents were there protecting us and it took an attack on Pearl Harbor in order for the US to finally join the fight.
