Harry, That's sweet. And welcoming, thank you. Almost, but not quite, makes me want to jump in my canoe and cross the border illegally. Natalia

The US has, since Canada declined | participation in the Iraq invasion, painted us with a very | nasty colour. We weren't even acknowledged by Bush for our | immediate assistance following 9/11. And the drug issue is a | laugh because the US is by far the largest of crops to come | across the border at Canada. I think its because Canadian | crops are stepping on illegal markets in the US that finance | illegal wars, but that's just a deduction, not necessarily | truth, nor should it be considered as representative of this | list..... | | To take a page from the US defensive posturing, "Why do they | hate us so much?" | | We have always felt that if the US really wanted anything, | anywhere, they will simply take it. E.g.: oil in | Afghanistan/Iraq. We have huge resources they will need | soon, and these tactics of citing Canada as a playground for | terrorists and drug dealers help to sway Jo US public, even | some Canadians, into thinking they will have the right to | take over our security for the sake of their own--which | means they will take over whatever else they don't yet have | rights to--such as most of our water and land. Yet, as you | had cause to mention that the US lost to our side before, | well, Canada is still very big, and given that the US is | stretched so thin militarily and financially, I doubt they | will have the resources to try anything soon. Hopefully, | some new technology will save their grim situation, and | they'll focus on ingenuity rather than theft. | | Natalia | | | All mail scanned by NAV | ----- Original Message ----- | From: M.Blackmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: <[email protected]> | Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2005 9:41 AM | Subject: Re: [Futurework] Minuteman Groups | | | | On Sun, 2005-09-18 at 08:50 -0700, Darryl and Natalia | wrote: | | > The reason it became news worthy was because of other | citizens in the | | > region being concerned about trigger-happy people | frequenting | | > recreational areas. | | > | | Let me get this straight: Yanks are patrolling | "recreational areas" | | which I assume cover the border area with Canada, with the | intention of | | the armed accosting of Canadian citizens who may have | wandered over a | | border (which I believe is largely unmarked in these sorts | of areas, | | certainly wasn't 20 or more years back when I was visiting | BC)!!!!! | | | | OK, the Canadian irregulars and a handful of British | regulars kicked the | | shit out of the Yanks nearly 200 years back, but I thought | things had by | | and large been pretty amicable since then. | | | | Malcolm | | > | | _______________________________________________ | | Futurework mailing list | | [email protected] | | http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework | | | | | | | _______________________________________________ | Futurework mailing list | [email protected] | http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework | | _______________________________________________ | Futurework mailing list | [email protected] | http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
