COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY MARK TALIANO IN RUSSIA TODAY
Well, many of us in Canada do oppose it, but we also
recognize how little ability our government has for independent action in
foreign affairs.
We are, as unpleasant as it sounds, almost totally colonized
by America.
The US government has many, many options for making us
uncomfortable - financial, economic, military, and diplomatic.
It is also true that the pleasant Justin Trudeau does not
possess his father's fiercely independent intelligence, but even father Pierre
might face frustration with today's neo-con Washington, a decidedly more
aggressive and unforgiving place.
