Konrad Yakabuski-- Comrad of the Regressive Left.

Regressive Left: ". . . a section of left-wing politics . . . holding reactionary views by their tolerance of illiberal principals and ideologies, particularly tolerance of Islamism, for the sake of multiculturalism and cultural relativism."   wiki; coined by Maajid Nawaz

And you know what Konrad, you can bash the Americans to your sarcastic heart's content-- But if it should all go for a crap up here in Canada, and we find ourselves in a cold, dark hole-- who do you think would be the first folks to show up and lend a hand? The Americans! 

And they would save you in spite of your Americanphobia!

And yes, Canada pays less than 50% of its commitment to NATO; even Latvia commits a greater percentage of its GDP. And who pays the most-- well beyond the minimum 2% of GDP? You guessed it-- the Americans! 

And while you will snigger at that, I won't--  I am grateful for it;  I'm honoured to call Americans my friends, my family.
