No other member of NATO has joined the coalition, what makes you think we will? Because in 1867 we were British? Fuck that! You never said Canada should mind its own business, what I believe you said is that you "owned us". And I resent that more than any statement you could ever make. I am not a citizen of North America, sorry, I have my own views, and believe it or not my own constitution. I am a Canadian. Imagine if I said we owned the USA, there would be more flames towards me then there would be intelligent posts.
We have a military, like I said we have participated in every peacekeeping mission that has ever existed. In fact we were liberation France 2 years before America ever got involved. We fought in Kosovo, and we still have men on the ground in Afghanistan. WE ARE FIGHTING YOUR WAR!
By the way I am a British citizen, my cousin is a Royal Marine, so I am not entirely isolated, and I do care and pray for those who are over there. But I do not support their action.

Fine, if Canada's role is that of a peacekeeping nation, then they have even less of a reason to be commenting on the war, in my opinion. Obviously then they had no intention of ever being involved in the conflict so that they could show up and be the peacekeepers later. If that's the case, then why do they make these statements? I dunno, maybe it's a publicity stunt.
I wouldn't say Canada is fighting our war if you're going to claim this peacekeeping role to your country, but I do know soldiers from Canada were killed in their missions, including Afghanistan, but the war over there is has ended so there is nothing left to fight.
My little statements about Canada started as a sarcastic joke, but maybe we do own Canada
What if there is a problem in the future and Canada needed America's help? Does the US have the right to go on TV saying, we won't defend Canada because we don't feel like it. It'll never happen, Americans will always be there for you, and that's the ignorant part of this situation that you just can't accept.
I have no quarrels or feelings about Canadians or citizens of the country, just your government officials. It's makes no sense for Canada to speak out in opposition against the US, especially when it's their interests as well we are protecting.
