Second best ally


According to a recent survey Canada was ranked the second best ally to the united states, Great Brittan being the first. About 29% of Americans in this survey said that Canada was the top ally. The rest that made the top five were Israel, Japan, and Germany. The poll was released yesterday when the British prim minister visited Barack Obama since he was inaugurated. Among the article more democrats said Canada is their most important ally than republicans.

I think that this is a good thing for Canada because to have one of the most powerful countries at your side is a very good thing. I think that Canada could of made it to the #1 spot if our population was only a bit bigger. I think that the relations between Canada and the us have been getting stronger over the years. And now the us is wanting to have a similar health care system, more tax, "free" health care. I think that the more that we help the us the more they help us and the more similar we become. Although I do like Canada's way of doing things better that the U.S., they are a solid neighbour.
