I am so proud that they've finally started behaving like a western democracy should - like grown-ups - again.
The spectacle of a former great power of the New World slowly sinking into irrelevancy on the world stage has been painful to watch. We've enjoyed such great friendship for so long, it seems that Canada began to take it for granted. Perhaps the US did, too.
But after Canada's dalliance with the ridiculous notion of 'soft power', which of course meant NO power, in any meaningful sense, they've again taken up the responsibilities that every nation should look to, if it wants to be taken seriously.
All good wishes to my Canadian Brothers-in-Arms, and may you succeed in the endeavor that is so important to both of our countries.
Go with courage, arrive with a thunderclap, win your victory, leave with heads high, and return home with honor.
