I think the world would be in some ways worse without the United States, but also some ways better. I believe Canada would probably be not as left wing as we are since much of that is about differentiating ourselves from the Americans. Certainly some of the awful atrocities done around the world be it installing Pinochet in 1973, Grenada in 1983, and funding the Contras would have never happened. Terrorism would likely be weaker as American foreign policy is major reason for causing this. Our world would be more diverse culturally, which I see as plus not a negative.
And finally we wouldn't have annoying celebrities such as Britney Spears, Madonna, Jessica Simpson, and annoying nutbars like Pat Buchanan, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and Anne Coulter to put up with.
Anonymous - the Americans have done both some good and bad things. If you read up on their history, they have propped up some brutal dictators, so they are not all good and rosy as some think.
Gerry Nicholls is a communications consultant and writer who has been called a “political warrior” a “brilliant strategist” and one of the “canniest political observers in Canada.”
He has worked as a consultant in both the United States and Canada and was formerly a senior officer in the National Citizens Coalition.
A regular columnist with the Ottawa Hill Times, his work has also appeared in the Globe and Mail, the National Post and in the Sun Media chain; and he has appeared on countless TV and radio public affairs programs. He is the author of the book, Loyal to the Core, Harper, Me and the NCC.
“Loyal to the Core is a daring and provocative work. It deserves to be read by conservative activists and politicos.” – Western Standard
“This is a very important book.” -- Michael Coren, TV host
“A fascinating read” --- Seamus O'Regan, Canada AM
“I really enjoyed Loyal to the Core. It’s a great book”, - Charles Adler, radio host.
"Loyal to the Core should be required reading for anyone considering or starting a career at a conservative think tank or in electoral politics in general …Consider Loyal to the Core a cautionary tale that’s also a funny, easy read – with a few highly “stealable” ideas for media campaigns thrown in for good measure.”- Kathy Shaidle, author Tyranny of Nice
“Every Canadian remotely interested in politics and the state of the country should have a read of Loyal to the Core. – blogger Wendy Sullivan
"It’s rare to find a politico, however, who is equally passionate about policy and strategy, but columnist, pundit, author and Western Standard blogger Gerry Nicholls is such a person." Matthew Johnson, owner Western Standard
"If you are a conservative who wonders how conservatives can communicate their message in a hostile media climate, Loyal to the Core is a must read." -- At Home in Hespeler
"You HAVE TO read this book!" -- Connie Fournier Free Dominion

Miles, Don't pick on Britney. She's going through a tough time.
We could do without Britney fine. The only thing good about her is she is good looking, but she is dumb and her music sucks.
Off course we here in Canada have Avril Lavigne.
Oh come on Miles!
American Foreign Policy = terrorism???
No more Al Gore, Hilary(or Bill) Clinton. No more annoying Liberal whiners.
No way better tv than the CBC.
No good game shows.
