Fortunately, Connecticut voters know a keeper when they see one, as indicated by this 2006-02-16 Quinnipiac University poll. Stay tuned as Election 2006 nears.

Welcome

Welcome to The Canadian-American! Although I have always been a U. S. citizen, my mum's side of the family has been in Canada since well before Confederation. Therefore, it's only natural that I'm interested in issues and events on both sides of the border. Here you'll find political and other items of interest. I tend to agree the most with the U. S. Republican Party and the Conservative Party of Canada, but I am fairly independent and will call things as I see them.

While Canada and the United States have the closest relationship of any two countries, they are prone to the sibling bickering which flares up from time to time. From the Canadian stereotypes and ignorance that persist among some in the U. S. to the tendency of some Canadians to define their national character in contrast to the U. S., both nations have much to work on if we are to build on our already strong relationship. This work starts with respect for one another. It is my hope that this blog will provide a resource for Canadians and Americans to gain a greater appreciation for each other on a citizen-to-citizen level.

CANADIAN ELECTIONS DISCLAIMER: While I may create posts about Canadian elections (another one hopefully won't be anytime soon), they are by no means intended to influence Canadian electors' choices. I will however, praise candidates who endorse stronger U. S.-Canadian relations while defending Canada's interests. The strong citizens of the True North should make their own free choices.
