As for solidifying our ties, us not having troops in Iraq was a big piss off for me. If you have troops on the ground so should we, our relationship has suffered since. Our economy needs US business for us to be profitable, now most US business is looking offshore. GM and Ford have announced massive Canadian layoffs, this is not good.

I'm not even gonna TOUCH the iraq war issue. The US has no business being there in the first place, we have even less. That was the one thing I liked about martin, was that he actually stood up to Bush. I really fear the day that martin will start siding with Bush when it comes to the war in iraq. More military spending means less for health care, education, and environmental programs. Have you been to a hospital emergency room lately? If you have I can't see any way that you could argue that we don't desperately need more funding. and education, our public schools aren't exactly in the best state, universities desperately need more funding, tuition costs are through the roof, and it's become rediculously competitive because of the lack of space due to lack of funding. The bottom line is that canada DOESN'T NEED a stronger military, we DO need more funding for health care and social programs, education, and we need to continue the good work we're doing in our environmental programs.
