I might accept most of your rant... up to the point where you claim
that "the US doesn't give a *** about Canada and Canadians" which is
nothing less than an idiotic statement. Certainly there have been some
disputes over the years.. even the most happily married have those.
And certainly the US has had some dumbo leaders and some very dumbo
decisions have been made.. I'm sure that the same could be said for
Canada and past Canadian leaders.

And as for being 'frikkin stupid' about a democracy, why is it that
Canada remains a Dominion? That's not all brilliance on Canada's
part, nor it it, in truth, a 'democracy' Whatever that might be in
your mind

Think about it
