WTF??

I wasnt even aware of this...

Poo was telling me that she and many other Canadians are steaming at the disrespect shown at US/Canadian hockey and basketball playoff games.

Before I hear a flippant "So what?" from Americans.. think about it.

These arent just our neighbors. They are our staunchest allies. We dont even bother guarding our borders with them.
They back us up. They go out of their way to help others all over the world.

And there are Americans booing the Canadian national anthem?

As theyre burying Canadian soldiers fighting in Afghanistan killed by American 'friendly' fire???

One of them happened to be a neighbor of Poo's.

Maybe some Americans DONT get it.
Maybe some of those Islamic militants have a fucking point.
America vs Terrorists. Israel vs Arabs. Muslim vs NonMuslims. etc etc etc

Its all about respect. Which goes both ways.

Its bad when Americans think that our closest allies deserve casual disrespect too.

But BOOING?? Booing O' Canada????

Dumbasses.

Its ALL about respect.

Im starting to wonder if this society knows what that concept actually means.

Oh yeah.

Yanks flock north seeking refuge

Some 116 U.S. citizens are seeking refugee status in Canada, claiming they fear for their lives if they returned south of the border, say immigration officials.

And most are accepted.

Cant ya just taste the irony.
