I Heart Canada: As Morford writes, Canada "simply beat us senseless on the whole open-minded, progressive thing. Kicked our flag-wavin' butts. Trounced our egomaniacal self-righteous selves and made the red states look even more foolish and backward than the whole world already knows them to be." On top of that, our northern neighbor has agreed to welcome US citizens who don't want to fight in Iraq. Canada also won't be financially supporting the US missile shield, and they won't allow US rockets for the system to be launched from Canadian soil. (Via Cursor.)
