US/Canada Work Toward Common Goals

If there was a terrorist attack against Canada, God forbid, we know full well that the US would be here to help in minutes because they need to defend their country. I think that we are joined at the hip and might as well make the best of it.

You've summed it up very nicely emrald. That is the reality and we may not totally agree with it, but it is reality just the same.

Unless and until we are able to stand on our own, we will be under the U.S. umbrella. Still, having said that, I'm not convinced that we just have to go along with whatever the U.S. wants. I don't believe it is as black and white as "either you are with us, or you are against us" a terrorist eradicator or a terrorist supporter.

It might be as simple as one neighbour to another, saying they don't agree with their views but respect their right to hold them. That sometimes works in real life doesn't it ?
