    It's an assumption. I haven't seen any Angus-Reid data yet, have you?

    What do we know about the pilot so far? He is ANG, right? Most ANG pilots are retired USAF, right?

    I'm not going to assume what the soldiers of the PPCLI are thinking right now about the Americans. I'll ask some of them if you want.

      Perhaps I should have asked, "Are tensions growing between Canadians and Canadians?"

        KH. How do you know there has been a fundamental shift in view-point?

          The answer to that is no as well. We beat the nuts off each other in debate if we can't find a hockey arena.

            At least one of them was thinking:

            "The point of training is to learn from your mistakes, and it seems that the Americans just don't learn"

              I can tell you that for as long as I can remember, the common line in the Forces is that on average, Americans are not well-trained. (At the same time, the elite units are well-respected). It's not meant to insult the Americans, but rather as a pride statement (i.e., our equipment is crap, but we're better trained then the Americans). The "friendly fire" will just feed on that sentiment.

                Maybe, but IIRC, Bush Jr. and Qualye were both pilots in the ANG and never did regular service.

                  I bet Quayle was the one who bombed the Canadians. I can't believe that he was the freaking Vice President of the U.S.! I'm not sure if he could even tie his own shoes. The Republicans could have picked a million better people to become the V.P.!

                  As to the thread topic: I think more and more Americans are becoming convinced that Canada will become a part of the U.S. in the near future, probably after Quebec seceeds. BTW, how is the tensions between Quebec and the rest of Canada?

                    Quebec's doing just fine, King Jean is funneling money over to them from public coffers to keep them happy and voting liberal.

                        Don't even mention it. One of the reasons I moved to Hong Kong was so that could read a newspaper that didn't have a constitutional crisis story on the front page every day.

                          Still BQ majority... 38-37 IIRC.

                          And Quebec hasn't been this far from separation in 25 years, nationalist. The sovereigntists have shot their charge, and we're all one happy family again.

                          Except for the Albertans.

                            LMFAO!!! If J.J. were V.P., Clinton could have canabalized Monica Lewinsky and not gotten impeached.

                              The Globe reports that 85 per cent of Canadians surveyed want the US to pay compensation for the deaths.

                              "People are not brushing this off. We're
                              getting angry over what happened, but
                              we are looking at recognition and compensation rather than retribution," said John Wright, vice-president of polling of Ipsos-Reid that conducted thesurvey for The Globe and Mail and CTV.

                                So, no more interest in going after Bin Ladin?
