**this post is direct and to-the-point, so you are forewarned, don't read if you dont want to**
As a dual citizen of both Canada and the US ((and someone who has lived in canada for 12 years and the US for 7 yrs)) i pay particular attention to both sides of the story and generally have no bias. but i have started to notice that canadians cry the blues quite a lot when it comes to canadian/american conflicts such as this one, while americans just accept it at face value and go on with life. even if the situation was reversed, i still feel that americans would accept it as a mistake and take no ill feelings towards canada bc of it. i think its high time some canadians got off there mountain of self pity and insecurity and realized the US is NOT out to get them, and that canada is NOT "always and perpetually" shortchanged. besides, if you want something changed or fixed, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! DONT WHINE!!
other then that, i am very sorry for your loss. dont go thinkin im some insensitive meanie, its just that i keep noticing this repeating behavior and thought id share my $.02
