@ mork

from one American to one Canadian... Your country has done more in the name of decency than most other countries in the world, I salute you. It's high time that some of the creative folks on our side of the world began to respond in kind and start releasing satyrical videos for consumption in THEIR part of the world about how the man in the street is being disadvantaged by their authorities....

I would be nervous if I lived in Canada right about now... Osama and Obama both have activist friends that blow stuff up, and are proud about it!

I don't know, its definetly talked about but I don't think most people get nervous about it. The fact they are threatening us this way shows they really don't understand us, it will only make us less likely to leave I think.
