"Quite frankly Rick, as a Canadian, I don't care what your opinion of our politics is."

Maybe you should care, as we are in this together as Canadians and Americans whether you like it or not! We need each other despite the fact that you may think otherwise
And....as an aside:you were not the only one who lost someone on Sept.11 sir There were people from MANY countries who lost friends and family. It is not just about America in that regard.It is about all of us.
