I think he meant "right" in the middle.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Sigh.

Yes of course all countries have a middle. We are talking about the spread of political views on subjects that are generally relative to the country being talked about. In any continiuum there is a middle. The number of parties is irrelevant. That only affects who someone votes for. It doesn't impact whether someone agrees with their neighbor or not. There are disagreements even in one party states.

You don't think very analytically, do you?

I love visiting Canada in the summer. But I don't think I could live there in the Winter.

Ratcheting up the hate-speak against Canada, even if it is obviously fake, is a game that comes at a price. I believe we have planted the seeds of distrust and discontent with our lovely northern neighbors that could eventually bring forth a bitter fruit.

There is actually nothing about Canada or Canadians that I dislike and I hope anyone who adds to the US-Canadian black chatter will be called to confess that there is nothing bad about Canada or Canadians.

Stop the US-Canadian black chatter.

What about the people that support their actions? And vote for them twice for that matter?

By that logic we've already invaded you. The only "good" hockey teams in the states are all stacked with Canadian players.
