A WARNING FOR MY CANADIAN FRIENDS

I was pondering, with Canada Day just passed and our Independence Day upon us, about something I've noticed. What I've realized is that - in many things - Canada tends to run just behind America. Often times, what happens here follows in Canada within just a few years. Unfortunately, this is not always a good thing. 

When the U.S. was electing our President last year, several of my Canadian friends felt they needed to weigh in. Most of them were pro-Obama and anti-Romney and would tell me that I was wrong in my views. Most of my Canadian friendships survived the elections, fortunately, but I wonder if my pro-Obama Canadian friends still feel the same?

Now that you know he cheated in the elections by targeting, threatening and keeping Conservative groups muted or silent, do you still stand by him? Now that you know his crowning achievement "Obamacare" is a money sucking, tax gobbling, job killing disaster, do you still think he's brilliant? Now that you know he's collecting all of your telephone data and recording your every email and internet activity, do you still trust him? Now that he's unilaterally making laws and policies for our Nation by bypassing our Congress and doing whatever he pleases - regardless of what the American people want, do you still see him as a great guy?

I said at the beginning that this is meant at a warning and it is. If things hold true to the past, you may see your country heading in this same direction sometime soon. Since I don't watch CBC news much, for all I know it already is. Be careful, Canadians. Be sure that you're doing the research and listening to both sides of the story - don't get complacent. Be watchful that your media doesn't become a propaganda machine like most of ours has. Just be forewarned, my friends, and be on guard, or you may find yourselves dealing with a rapidly emerging dictatorial tyrant like the one in our White House.

Three more years.... I hope America survives.
