Originally posted by Fir3start3r Ok, I've got one of you stating the party wasn't scared to speak it's mind and the other saying it was just one person. So, I ask, was it really just the feelings of 'one' person or is it indeed the party as a whole? Considering their numerous failed dealings in anything to do with States, you really do have to wonder after 12 years of bumbling on the subject.

There is no question that the previous government took opposition to the US on several foriegn affairs policies and some questionable trade practices, however, that does not act as evidence that the Party is in anyway "anti-American." Caroline Parish's actions were hers alone and clearly were not endorced by the party. Again, as a conservative supporter you should be the first to agree that the actions of one member of a party do not amount to the parties official position.

I'm being honest here, was there ANYTHING the previous party agreed to with the States? Nothing comes to mind....of course I did just wake up...

If nothing comes to your mind I recommend you see a neuropsychiatrist for some testing because clearly you have some rather profound memory problems. A few things should spring to mind, including but not limited to:
- NAFTA
- Afganistan
- Kosovo
- and a whole litany of trade, boarder, security, agreements and initiatives far too numerous to list.

The truth is we've always had such a favorable relationship with the US that it is a matter of normal behaviour to work cooperatively. Since we work cooperatively so much people tend not to notice that cooperation unless it's a big issue like the three that jumped to my mind within 2 seconds of reading your post. Issues upon which the two countries disagree are pretty rare thus they jump to mind right away, which is probably why you have this illusion that there were many areas of disagreement between the two between 1993 and 2005. In fact there were very few areas of contension between our past government and the US. Nearly all of those areas of contension were warrented.

In all fairness I was a little cobwebby and maybe I am being a little one-sided in this...

I was referring more to the U.S. <--> Canada deals more than the 'Other Worldly' adventures which Canada, but default, should rightly take action (therefore governing party is really irrelevant).

The fact that none come to mind I guess should tell us that, a) They're so insignificant that they're not worth mentioning or b) I, in fact, am totally brainless...(which at that point, is quite possible since my mornings are usually spent shuffling around ala zombie for about an hour...)

PS. NAFTA was signed by Brian Mulroney, a Progressive Conservative so that might not have been the greatest example...
