Does anyone know for sure if Canada is gonna help the U.S.A?

I saw the list of nations in the coalition, and Canada wasn't on it. I think the Canadian government is opposed to war.

Damn...it's not that I want our men to die out there...I just think Jean's a @#$%ing MORON! What an idiot, I wish we'd go out.

they showed a news clip before of a press conference; canada said they aren't backing the coalition.

Well, isn't that odd? I always figured Canada to be blind followers of all United States policy. Ironic how we're the only nation on the continent who is participating in this war.

HA Cananda helping the US! How can they help us. they have almost no army. they cant help us finacialy either. but if they want to help, im sure they will.

I think canada is still a little pissed at us for the little mishap in afgan. Sorry about that Canada. Isn't there only 3 countries in N. America.

nope, canada is against the war, just one of the brave countries that have dared to oppose the us, not like my asshole president "Pobrecito Mr. Bush"....he cant even talk in just 1 language, for anyone who understood what i said...

I haven't heard bad things come from Canada's mouth. If it did talk against the US it doesn't matter because it won't hurt the US's oil deal with them, and Canada cannot afford to lose such a close and easy client.

Canada has one of the more advanced armed forces in the world today, we may not have much in terms of numbers, but the quality of our defence forces are far above par and could compete with many other technologies in the world quite well. Also, if you haven't noticed lately, the value of Canada's dollar is slowly and surely rising every day. Our economy is getting much better.

Anyhow, we have our reasons for not participating. Every government has something to say about the current state of affairs in Iraq. I think Canada believes that US, Australia and the U.K can pull out fine in Iraq by themselves. Unlike the U.S., Canada isn't a warring nation and usually doesn't gain much from war (unlike the US, war's are a simple part of their whole economy in some way)

The Canadian armed forces are not involved as of yet in the coalition offensive. We are indirectly involved though, due to the presence of 3 of our battleships in the Persian Gulf ( One of them being the HMCS Montreal, one of the most advanced Frigates in the world). They, along with many smaller ships, are charged with patrol and escort missions due to Canada's role in the war against terrorism.

As aposed to the U.S. canada is on the clean up end of the war on iraq. This being the peace keeping and such. There is more validity in a peace keeping operation if that country did not fight in the war. There is one instance that I know of though in which the US government did not accept a major player in putting out oil fires in kuwait in Desert Storm, "because of your governments position on war" I think this an outrage, because this company was one of the leading players in putting out and capping the wells. I dont think that the jobs should be given to other less experienced companies just because of the governments position on war.

Canada may not have a numerically large military, but it is well equipped and trained, and if their performance in Afghanistan is any measure, they have the best snipers in the world. Your comment is exactly the type of ignorant, ethnocentric rambling that foments anti-Americanism.

Lol. The more I see you write, the more I appreciate your ability to think for yourself, it's a real gift to be able to think for yourself and not be controllled. =P

Yeah, me too, I guess we're not going with your country this time. Well, we can't always agree on everything, can we? We're two separate countries, and we have to have different opinions once in a while.

"It sure is sandy here, eh?"

The USA doesn't need Canada's help, you guys helped enough by letting terrorists slip through your borders.

Dude, it says on your profile (you're welcome, for me raising your popularity) that you're in Ottawa. Go tell Jean that! I'm in Toronto, ON, too far from there. Sorry but I can't help you.

Well, yeah, but it's not our responsibility to keep terrorists out of the United States, right? (I think I talked about this in some other topic, were you there?). It would be our fault, and only ours if the terrorists we let in got the CN tower blown up, but it's your responsibility too, to check the people that cross your border, from Canada, Mexico, or from another continent. Yes, we were not totally right in giving them a chance to slip through, but it's not totally our fault.

Like they say, nobody is cautious before disaster strikes.

Canada is really free about saying they are anti-american and don't support bush, and all that, but the USA is still the first person they'll come to if they're ever attacked. Canada expects the USA protect it, meanwhile, it does nothing in return. Who's the real terrorist?

Well, we help you guys most of the time, and stick up for you. This is, I think one of the few times we didn't. We have been allies for about a century, I think. Don't get us wrong, my country has not been anti-american, we just sometimes do not totally agree with your thoughts. We're the opposite of terrorists, if you ask me - we're a peace country - we never start wars, and I guess the U.N. will help us, if we get attacked, and not only the U.S. In the situation with Iraq, you guys did not get attacked lately by them, so that's one of the reasons we did not help you.

so because canada refuses to get involved in a war, that makes them terrorists? look how many ppl in the u.s. are protesting! look how many are anti-war! look how many ppl post here that want the war to end! so does canada! personally i think that supporting the u.s. is only gonna make the war last longer. canada has helped them in the past - canada and the u.s. are very close. Chretien said that canada is going to help the u.s. with supporting the iraki people after the war, which i think is amazing. i do think that it should be a country's choice whether or not they want to get involved in the war, since it has nothing to do with any other country except the u.s. and irak. canada already said they are going to help in their own way, so its not like were shutting away from the u.s. completely. i definately do not think you should call them terrorists.

Look, 9/11 is the fault of Canada's indifference to anything outside their own borders, and anyone who disputes that is a fool.

Canada sucks, they're a meaningless scarecrow state, case closed.

Actually, the US and Canada are about as close as two allies can be.

And of course we'd protect Canada, and they should expect it. It is, afterall, in our best interests to keep unfriendly forces out of our back yard. Just because Canada didn't go marching down the warpath doesn't mean Canada is anti-american. Just because they don't screen as thoroughly for terrorists at the borders doesn't mean they're anti-american. Mr Y is right. It isn't Canada's responsibility to screen those who want to leave Canada for the US. That's our responsibility.

Damn... I didn't leave myself any room for a Canadian joke...

Actually, I think pushing the blame for 9/11 onto any other country aside from the US or Afghanistan is silly. They did it. We didn't see them coming. END OF STORY.

If Canada did all the things you seem to want them to do, Nemesisz, WE WOULD BE THE BITCH, NOT THEM.

Wow... I got one in. Hooray!

so 9/11 is all canada's fault?? the u.s. has had that coming for years, even politicians have said that 9/11 was bound to happen someday.
canada doesn't suck. they are not meaningless. i am not that patriotic, but i wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Actually... add in Saudi Arabia for saying 'pro west' on one side, then preaching against the infidel in schools and supplying the world with the guys who brought us 9/11

Canada is not in the war against Iraq because the Prime Minister stated that Canada would only go if the UN supported a war.

And you're nothing but a hateful little marginal/typical American Teenage BOY who knows nothing outside of his little hillbilly town. A true stereotype of American ignorance. Everything I've seen written by you has been nothing but literal vomit... Grow up or shut up, you gnome.

Yeah, you really hit it right on the money there. New York City is probably the biggest backwater hick town in the country. I know more about global affairs than you know about your own family, fool, and if you read anything I wrote before attacking me, you'd know that.

You think you can just come to these forums, start trouble with your ignorant arguments, and then make ultimatums to the people here? Go away, moron, you don't know anything.

I think you're absolute fool if you seriously believe that.

Care to back it up with some facts?
