I'm gonna stick up for LD here. All he was saying is, we do way more good than harm, and Canada (and lots of other countries) benefit because we're here.
Still, we have to resist the tendency to think that the world is out to get us. All this Europeans hate us, Koreans hate us, Arabs hate us, terrorists hate us, and don't even get me started on the French, but it doesn't get us anywhere. There is a lot of envy of our wealth, and when they don't see us helping them as much as they think we could, there's resentment too. I'm of the view that if we take care of the international community (I don't mean bailing out poor countries, merely encouraging democracy and free markets), it will take care of us.
