Will the USA punish Canada?

Well...it's all over the radio stations over here. Canada didn't join in the war against Iraq, and although we do have support troops in the area dn we're helping free up tropps in Afghanistan, some people feel that Canada itsn't doing enough.

Match that up with the Booing of the American national anthem in montreal two games ago, and what that gives you is a whole bunch of nervous Cannuck woondering if we're about to get us a good ol' spanking from Unca Sam (economically speaking)

So...how do you (as Americans) feel about Canada not joining in the fray, and how will it affect your purchasing habits in the future?

Will this affect your feeling towards Canada at all?

Will you end up painting Canada with the same brush as the French (God forbid)?

Canada's a country? Ok...when the hell did this happen? :) :D

Seriously, I highly doubt it. In the long run, the two nations are just to close.
 
breaking news....:rolleyes:


and no, they won't punish canada...the US won't go and punish all freaking countries that didn't actively support the war in Iraq ya know...
 
What about Canadian Beer? I hear that Kokanee's pretty good.

In all seriousness...AM800 is mentioning the potential of thousands of lost jobs because of our position on this 'war'.

Just France. :)

Blame Canada...we're just too damn puppyish towards the USA that any sanctions would kill us...hell, 60% of our GDP is with teh USA...that's a FUCK of a lot of cash!
 
just france? because they didn't agree with the point made by the US?
if so, they should 'punish' germany, russia as well, for instance...

i seriously doubt that the US would suddenly start punishing other countries because of that...only indication that might be happening is in your imagination
 
I won't be buying any Celine Dion albums anytime soon. There! That'll show you. :D

Seriously, I don't care either way. I'm not giving up my velcro though, so just forget about it Nix.
 
I for one feel not the slightest need to 'punish' Canada. We've known their position well in advance of any action and have planned accordingly.
 
Hey, Canada's still cool by me. Half the cool people here are from Canada or some other country not named Uncle Sam. :D
 
:confuse3: We knew France's position going in too. Why are we using selective persecution? Especially since many of you are so vehement about those who failed to support us.
 
France was saying they would Veto any resolution we put before the UN. That's a little different than Canada simply saying they aren't going to support it. Canada also isn't actively denouncing it either.
 
I'll skip the replies for the moment & (just in case) put it back on topic.

We'll do nothing but bitch. We are as close as two countries can be, physically & diplomatically. Not a problem, now go fetch my slippers. :D
 
OUr armed forces aren't up to snuff when it comes to a ground war anyway. We're peacekeepers...

pound the hell out of Iraq...leave...we'll make sure the oil-wells don't get pissed on at night. Everyone's happy. :)
God bless :canada:

Canada is involved in half of the ops as they are in Afghanistan. France, Russia, and Germany are not involved in Jack. France is in a different position in that they have said that they intend to stand in our way as much as possible. Canada is letting events take their own flow and deciding to not participate. Apples to apples, oranges to oranges.
