Ploiticians are lying sacks of shit and Paul Martin is a politician. Nothing will change.. he'll be another Chretien. Another lame duck. Lets get the conservatives back in power.

I had no idea Canada was mostly Liberal ran. I had an idea because you guys usually dont help us in wars (no offense) which slightly suggests a democratic vote in your House. I would also like to see Canada become steadily more conservrative. It would indefinatly bring about well needed change in Canada.
As far as I have studied America has been Republican rule for well pretty much its entire existance.
I'm only 15 and for some reason politics interest me, I hope I don't become one of those scumbags. biggrin:

None taken, but we've been in every single war the US has been in since the beginning of the 20th century.
This includes Vietnam (where Canada didn't actually declare war, but 20,000 Canadians volunteered with American units) Desert Storm, Bosnia (Where we still have 2,000 troops) Kosovo, Afghanistan (where we still have 2,000 troops) and the second Iraq conflict (where we had 38 Army personelle on exchange programs with American/British units)
Now Vietnam and The second Iraq conflict may no be counted as "going to war" and whatnot, but know that we were there. So even in recent terms, say in the past 15 years the only war we have not fought alongside the US in is the second Iraq war. So I don't really think saying we don't "usually" help you in wars is correct.
We actually had numerous ships in the Persian Gulf when you guys were building up to attack in Kuwait. All your transports were protected by not only your own ships, but by Canadian ships as well.
So it's only 1 war we haven't fought along side you guys. Thats all.
Just because we have more of a liberal government dosn't mean that we back down from war. When the shit hits the fan we're there. And I know. I'm in the Army.
