No.
And man, you guys got to keep guns just in case the king of England invades.
I guess every country has its weird laws. I would *guess* that it's there to make sure that Canadians have the right to discuss amongst ourselves and not to allow others to force us into doing something.
I really don't think that the Mayor has any power to make MM a citizen. I would think that that would be up to immigration Canada. Probably something he said just to put on the record how mad that this would be if it happened.
Then again, this is all news to me. I'll have to do some poking when I have the time.

And piratejenny, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, sure but how exactly is anything happening in the U.S. affecting Canada at the moment? If anyone can give me a good answer (because I honestly don't know) then I won't say anything else on this matter.
So I guess you were kidding about that last part.

Yes.
Just like WE should shut up about their elections. The only thing I'll say about the Aussie election is that they chose well in John Howard.
^^ At the risk of starting an entirely new argument, there were (abd probably still are) a lot of people in Australia angry that Howard was re-elected. And in the lead up to the election a lot of people were angry due to the insinuations and comments the US ambassador was making, about things like should Latham (and the Labour Party) win the election then there would have to be reevaluations of the deals Australia and the US had on the table, ie the FTA.
"No man is an island" - the same goes for countries. Everything they do affects their allies, and their trading partners, and their enemies in some way. Elections rank among the most important things a country does, so why are you so surprised that America's allies, let alone it's neighbour have something to say about it? As someone said above, America is the superpower of the moment - America's decisions and actions have far-reaching effects, right across the globe.
BTW, if you have the right to voice your opinion that Australia "chose well in John Howard", then Australians (and by extension, other countries) have the right to express their opinions about the re-election of Bush...
'Yes... this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "this land".' 'I think we should call it your grave.' 'Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!'

I guess by "a lot" you mean not enough to vote Howard out of office.
Of course you can express your opinions (re: American Election) Just as I can express my opinions (re: BLOW IT OUT YOUR ARSE)
Frankly, I think those nations who despise us should be honest about it and stop all trade and sever relations. Go ahead and bugger off if we're so terrible. I'm sorry...what's that? You still want our exports, technology, grain subsidies, financial aid and military protection AND STILL pinch your nose in disgust as you do? My goodness...you must be from OLD Europe or a canuck nyuk nyuk.
