An open letter to our American neighbours:
It seems as if our American neighbours need to be reminded that today is a special day to Canadians.
It is 112 days since the American government closed the border to imports of Canadian beef due to a single case of BSE found after an American citizen slaughtered a downer cow.
It is 71 days since U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman said she's convinced Canadian beef is safe but would give no time frame for reopening the border.
It is 42 days since Ann Veneman declared boneless beef under 30 months of age would be allowed into the United States but to date only a token amount has actually crossed.
It is 520 days since an American pilot killed four Canadian soldiers fighting against terrorism in Afghanistan.
It is 1798 days since Canada successfully defended the Canadian beef cattle industry from the anti-dumping and countervail duty cases initiated by RCALF in the United States after the United States International Trade Commission voted 5 to 1 that Canadian live cattle imports were not injuring the U.S.
It is 183 days since Bush attached Iraq after lying to the entire world about weapons of mass destruction.
It is 738 days since Canadians accepted countless thousands of American who were forced to land in Canada as there was no place to land in their own country. Bush couldn’t be bothered to say thank you.
It is 6941 days since the Canada United States Trade Agreement, which later became NAFTA, was signed but Americans still think they can pick and choose the trade that takes place between the two countries.
It is 9011 days since Ken Taylor, Canadian Ambassador to Iran hid six American escapees before the seizure of the US embassy in November of 1979.
It is 2062 days since the U.S president lied to the American people claiming "I didn't have sexual relations with that woman. .... or that woman. .. or that woman. ... or that one over there either." forever giving new meaning to the word cigar.
Is there any other dates that need to be the calendar?
It seems as if our American neighbours have simply forgot what special day it is today or they wouldn’t be treating Canadians the way they are.
