April

None taken, and none meant.

It's been my experience that the opposite is true: many Canadians having nothing against the US, but don't care for Bush.

For example, I may not like the fact that the US, under the leadership of Pres. Bush went into Iraq. I don't dislike the US or Americans or hold the US in general responsible for that. I hold Pres. Bush responsible and dislike him. (Not just because of Iraq, but that's a different story.)
I expect this like I would expect Americans not to dislike Canada or Canadians because the Canadian government didn't support the Iraq war.

On other words, this Canadian do not resent America or Americans, I resent Pres. Bush.

Good...I am glad to hear that...I don't much care for him either...and that is putting it nicely...
I don't blame Canada...I was against it too...the evidence did not support the claim...plain and simple,and even if it had it was your call not ours...you would have to live with your decision just as we now have to live with ours.Sometimes I see big mouthed Americans spouting their stupidity to Canadians on these boards and quite frankly its embarrassing...
I don't know any fellow Americans who speak of Canada or its people let alone say anything negative about you or your country.I seriously know of no American who holds ill feelings towards your Government or people because you did not go with us into Iraq....If someone here does...its their tuff shit...and if they tell you there are many others just like them...don't believe it...because it is simply not true.

You are not alone in your resentment...many Americans feel the same...the problem is he plays on their fears...and that just might win him the election....
God help us if it does....

With all due respect April, I'm not so sure many Canadians love George Bush.
I may be wrong.

I have visited many Canadian forums...and it always seems the majority always defend Bush...but strike out at Americans in general.I have always found that a bit strange....I guess I should not base my opinion on that...though it is hard not to as it is all I have to go on...
sorry, no offense intended.

I haven't read all of the posts here, but I believe much of the chill in US/Canada relations came from Pres. Bush. There have been snubs galore. Now, that's not to say that members of the Canadian government have been the greatest, see Carolyn Parrish, but Bush has been cold to Canada from day 1.

Which begs the question...why do Canadians love him so much? Same thing with gays...many love him...I will never understand that....!

"Kerry's position on Iraq has been consistent from Day One. Kerry had called for a broad international coalition to confront Saddam Hussein, and going to war only as a last resort. Like most senators, he thought Bush needed the authority - it passed the Senate 77-23, and Kerry was one of 29 Democrats who supported it. However, Kerry believes Bush misused that authority"

Thanks Black Dog...I was beginning to think I was the only one who knew that ...and the fact that he "voted against it after he voted for it" simply means Georgie's creditability wasn't worth a sh&# after the first time Kerry trusted him. Yet where are the kudos to Kerry for making a stand on the second vote? Even tho his party caved and insisted he do the same....I believe that is called not wavering...He did not  allow the election to influence his vote...unlike the Republicans...
who do it all the time...If they didn't always USE the tragic events of 9/11 to bolster their campaign...they wouldn't have a pot to pee in....thats all they got! how sad and sick is that!

Why are some innocent deaths deemed acceptable and others horrific?

because of religion...if  you put yourself at the side of GOD its called collateral damage...
and whether its accepted or horrific depends what side your on.
