As a Canadian we can only wish to have some of the freedoms the US offers. Property ownership is a right in America but in Canada it's a suggestion. In America you have freedom of speech in Canada you don't have that right but no one will both you practice.

Think Canada could do better as the world's police force? Would have Canada handled 911 differently? Would Canada have invaded iraq? Would the middle east be better off without that war? The US takes a lot of heat but by not doing anything would things be worse.

I don't think Canada is ready to handle that responsible. You need to be mature enough to do the good and bad. Canada just wants to do the good anything else that would taint that imagine in the collective mindset wouldn't be acceptable by the dominate few media narrative.
