What gives you the right to critisize the United States & our foreign policy?
After all, Canada doesn't even have a foreign policy, except that if they get in trouble, call the United States.

Psh, Canada has long been a member of the Global stage, many of our forces are in Afghanistan as peacekeepers, we engage constantly in meetings with NATO, the G8, and many other non govermental orginizations. We do have a military, known as the unified Canadian Forces, which has 1,400 armoured vehicles, 34 combat vessels, and 861 aircraft, that said we are not nearly as powerful as the United States. We also appear to have a much warmer relation to the countries of Europe then what the US seems to have, whenever I travel, I always see Americans claiming to be Canadians, so as to cover their nations own heavy handed policies. You presume that you could do without us, but I must remind you that Canada is the US's biggest trading partner, the US's leading supplier of oil, and many other things. What gives you the right to critisize my country?
