I don't think the gun registry was a good idea but the other gun laws are ok. The gun registry cost $1billion when it was only supposed to cost $1million. Sad waste of money.

Canada has allowed itself to become powerless on the world stage. Its not like they can help or hinder the US in a substantial way. If Canada were run by some Canadian G.W.B. all it would mean is we would get words of support from Canada, instead of the confused seeming drivel we get now. Either way its just words.

Ya, Canada couldn't have helped with Iraq anyways (due to lack of an army) so the gov't thought it would be smart to support the UN (to appease other countries) while not affecting the situation in any way.

The Canadian economy relies on the US more then the US relies on Canada, so its not like we will see economic sanctions of any kind.

This is probably true, but Canada is very deeply rooted into the US economy. Canada provides pretty much every resource the US uses because Canada has it all, and for cheaper prices. Canada would never throw economic sanctions against the US though because that would be stupid.
Canada is like the US' conjoined twin where there are two torsos but only 2 legs and they are under US control. Should Canada ever be separated, it would hurt like a bitch and the effects would last for a long time, but the US would probably survive. Canada probably wouldn't survive unless it could find a new foreign market.
