23. We've mutual interests...
We both have good reason to keep the RW out of our governments. That's probably why you find so many Canadians on this board. Canada has a nasty habit of turning right whenever America does. We've been very fortunate this time (but then Bush represents the least tolerant wing of the RW, which really doesn't fly here). As long as Bush is so extreme, it ought to keep the RW out of power here (honest to God, there is a spill-over effect and it isn't pretty when it is encouraging our back-bacon freepers).

We need to retire the Liberals from government (to shake out our version of DINOs), elect an NDP minority government, and then watch you good people trash the RW in '06.

Better days ahead, my friend!
