Wil's Rant

Canada's ambassador to the U.S. has been trying to raise our profile down south. Judging from the plan to guard the border with civilians I'd have to say that he's right. Gingrich has apologized for spreading the myth that the terrorists are entering the U.S. via Canada. Virtually all the terrorists to date have been admitted to the U.S. legally, so to speak, if you don't count the lies on the applications, and received their flight training there. Most Americans don't know this as it has not received anywhere near the coverage as those claims did in the first place. So the first claims are what Americans remember. Canadians are not anti-American, just anti-Bush. Yet this crucial difference escapes the media in the U.S. My own personal experience living in the States have been among the most pleasant of my life. All the more reason that I shudder to think of the path that it's politics is now taking. Scary stuff that!
