only canada would be stupid enough to try to align with the french on the brink of a global conflict. we know what will happen to france in five minutes, right?

but, smart americans have always known that the germans are no ally. there's no surprise in seeing europe bolt for china on the earliest opportunity.

canada's cold war policy was to stay out of the dirty fighting. we need to retreat back to the pearson-trudeau-chretien position that was consciously and very foolishly (as we see now) aggressively reversed by the previous government.
