What I don't like is the direction. I don't want Canada to become like the US in any ways. They are our neighbour and most important commercial partner but we should distance ourselves from their ways of thinking.
That's a pretty good ad and not really a hate ad. Just reminding people what shady business has taken place during their reign. The last bit about the Ethics Supervisior going to jail...

And thank God for that! Even Americans are finally starting to see that their trip to Iraq was based on lies and only de-stabilized that area more than previously. On top of that it cost them few trillion dollars.
Canada dodged that bullet but UK went in full speed thanks to Tony Blair.
