Your usual refrain whenever someone mentions a simple fact about the US
The usual refrain is actually yours. While you are quick to call out others for being drones and slaves to "the message" from media--you fail to recognize that several generations of Canadian politicians who have used Anti-Americanism as a wedge issue have actually led you down the path--a walk you and many other Canadians have willingly made. Your gross generalizations about Americans and "their" oil addiction is not well-reasoned and conveniently ignores the fact that the explosion in fossil fuel demand comes from elsewhere in the world--and seems to suggest we heat our homes and fuel our cars with something other than oil.

This is not new. You act as though it is
On another note, I have just read through the afore-posted listed of so-called "promises" and find it interesting that Elizabeth May--who's bleating to be heard and has been included in the leaders' debate via her own self-importance has the audacity to release a platform that is mostly uncosted--the first item, the "guaranteed livability supplement" is a jaw-dropper--even the most idealistic voter would have trouble swallowing that -- it's inclusion is actually an insult to anyone born with basic reasoning skills.
I act as though this is new? On the contrary it's really, really, old.
