] Date Posted: 15:32:16 11/02/04 Tue In reply to: Ed Harris (Venezia) 's message, "US Elections" on 15:23:13 11/02/04 Tue Please go ahead and refer to the U.S. as 'American' - we do. We are Canadian and that's it. Continentally, we talk about being 'North Americans'. However, I am pleased that you are sensitive towards us. I usually prefer not to give an opinion on an election in a foreign country because it's really none of our business. I was asked this very question recently and my response was 'I am of no opinion because it is not up to us - it's entirely the decision of Americans, and Canadians have to work with whoever wins'. I was recorded as undecided! However, since the peace of the world depends very much on this election, my preference goes to John Kerry (which in recent surveys is the preference of Canadians by a 2 to 1 margin). And to our British friends, again, it's your decision, but my preference goes to Michael Howard. Tony Blair has proven that he is not interested in the Commonwealth.

Date Posted: 15:36:27 11/02/04 Tue I think it would be good for all of us to become familiar with the politics in each of the four FC realms. We should know who is PM, Opposition Leader and what the political parties are and where they stand. It would help us a lot. Since we want political union, we should not be afraid to form opinions on each other's politics and be able to express it. This can be very insightful in guaging opportunities towards the proposed federation in its different parts. I have links to all of these on the Links page in the FCS Canada site. This page will soon be updated to take out the minor and joke parties. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:43:03 11/02/04 Tue I suggest that you leave in the MRLP (Monster Raving Loony Party) as a UK party, since it is very dear to our hearts. British politics would not be the same without people who give up thousands of pounds to of their own money to make us laugh at election time. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:13:34 11/02/04 Tue I would vote Bush. (if I were a U.S. citizen) He is the only politician that I have seen in our present time, counting French and English-Speaking ones, that has come across to me as being honest to the cameras. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
