Re: Pumpkin seeds returned
Bill
Sounds like you feel the same as I about Canada and its stance on Iraq.
It is a shame that all the US really wanted was moral support and our PM
could not offer that - all they could offer was liberal MP's calling
Americans childish names and worse.
Wonder if they foresee the repercussions this might cause our country - as
85% of our exports go to the states - if they decide to limit that by 25% we
will see a 50 cent dollar soon.
