Don, the Canadians had a military unit (maybe a brigade) in Germany while I was
there. I worked with them every time we had a Reforger Exercise (annually), and
worked with the staff in the buildup to the exercise.

There was *always* a great camaraderie between our forces! One of my best
motorcycle buddies was a Canadian. We took a trip from Stuttgart to Stockholm
together, went to rallies all over Europe together, and got horribly polluted
together.

Don't *even* let one incident let you think their is some kind of animosity
between Canadian and US military forces. What you are seeing and hearing is
anti-Bush rhetoric.
