We in Canada...

In Canada, there are many sports fans. We follow Canadian sports at the local to inter-provincial, university and international levels. In addition, we have all of the American sports which are followed very closely. Are we not fortunate?

One of today’s papers from Canada had a half page photo from the Steelers 33, Giants 30 game of yesterday. Just so happens that I wrote a few words about that game yesterday.

We in Canada have our own political news but we also follow politics in the U.S. Many Canadians know all too well that what takes place in the U.S. affects us very directly. This is something that we tend not to want to talk about, or even think about. On an international basis, other countries are also greatly affected by what America does or does not do. When America shouts, we in Canada not only hear but feel the vibrations. At night when America snores, we are kept awake, and when the Elephant rolls over, we are in great danger!

We in Canada have a good standard of living, with much thanks to the U.S. We take some pride in our economic situation but without America, where would we be? There are some things about the U.S. that Canadians do not like, but these are quickly overlooked; many of these things some Americans do not like either but they must live with that situation, an example, the war in Iraq.

In the future I shall write more about America’s relationship with Canada. As well, I shall write about America’s influence around the world and in particular its relationship with Middle East events.
