I used to be able to say that what was happening in the USA scared the spit out of me, but at least I was up here in Canada where we were safe(r) from the Right. And then we elected a conservative government. sigh.
I'm an outsider, obviously, and I just don't understand what's happening South of my border. You folks have a wonderful guiding principle to live by: Your Constitution is, and should be, a model for free societies worldwide. Yet it seems that your own government is intent upon chipping away at the Constitution's influence on the government. It's scary, dammit.
And just to cheer you up more. Sick of all those reports about the horribly misuse of funds for rebuilding Iraq you could a)Institute a rigourous program of accountability for all funds, and prosecute those misusing government money b)Stop the Inspector General from investigating it. Three guesses what the Bush adminstration did http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2006/05/10/iraqmoney/index.html
