The Liberals were against this and so are the Conservatives. Basically, Canada is united against this ill-thought out and unnecessary policy of the Bush (League) Administration. Anyone who is a friend of Canada and is for improved Canada-US relations will be against it as well.

Now your telling us how to think on a specific issue? What friend Bailey seems to forget is that laws within the boundaries of the country to his south are none of his concern. Canadians can and do pass any laws they wish within the boundaries of thier nation, some we agree with some we don't, and would be very upset if say Americans told Canadians any friend of America would push to make possesion of pot a felony or to repeal content legislation on the Canadian media, yet he seems to think it is perfectly alright for him to tell us what our laws should be. Now it isn't that he shouldn't have an opinion, but that opinion is in fact his and since he isn't an American it is interesting to hear what he thinks, but that is as far as it goes. One day he will come to realize this. For if he wants a say in our country's laws it is only right to give us a say in his. I don't think he would be in favor of that.
