I like your "take their ball and go home" analogy. If Canada is an ally of the US, why do they frequently attempt to thwart our foreign policy? Or call our leaders morons? The US may very well be taking their ball and going home, but not because they are losing. They are going home because they don't want/need to play with you anymore.
The one acting like a child is you. You think Canada can act however it likes and the US will still give them whatever they want. It is like a kid calling his mom a bitch and then asking for his allowance. If Canada wants things from the US, they have to act a certain way. Just like if the US wants things from Canada, the US has to act a certain way. |
Nope not having a hard time accepting the US will do what is in it's best interest, just having a hard time with the way the US thinks everyone should follow them into everything like a lost little puppy.
The US doesn't want to play with Canada, oh darn, who does the US want to play with besides the Brits? The US will soon be having a great time playing with themselves, because no one will be left.
Thwart US foreign policy? Oh you must mean because we make our own decisions, and don't follow behind like a good little puppet, maybe if we were more like Blair and had a nose placed up Bush's ass things would be better. If making up your own mind is considered thwarting the US's foreign policy then I guess Canada is guilty of that.
Canada is acting like a child? Thats the funniest thing I've read all day. How is Canada acting however they want? They made a decision as a soverign nation, they did nothing wrong, just made a decision, but I guess a country making up its own mind isn't something the US enjoys.
