  • 枫下沙龙 / 谈天说地 / CBC NEWS: 今天收到了潮水般的从美国来的信件，电话，表达了昨天晚上看了CBC TV's Town Hall 现场讨论会后对加拿大的失望和愤怒。不知大家看了这个3个小时的直播节目没有？ -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-20 {2721} (#206082@0)
    本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛"I don't think I will ever really feel comfortable in your country again," said an e-mail from a writer who did not indicate in what city or state in the U.S. he or she lives.

    'The more I hear of the reactions of Canadians, the more I think we should shut our borders and keep our money at home...'

    The Town Hall meeting was held in the atrium at the CBC Broadcasting Centre in Toronto before a live audience. CBC TV's Peter Mansbridge hosted the event. A panel of experts answered questions and made observations throughout the live presentation. Many in the audience also made comments and asked questions.

    The show was carried across the U.S. by C-SPAN, a cable channel that often carries CBC Newsworld.

    There were live feeds to Ottawa where Defence Minister Art Eggleton, Alliance leader Stockwell Day, and NDP leader Alexa McDonough replied to questions and made observations.

    Most in the audience expressed sympathy for lives lost in the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. But the discussion and debate also dealt with such matters as the need for concrete evidence before the United States begins bombing anyone. Many in the audience urged caution and responses other than military strikes, for which they were loudly applauded.

    "Oh, Canada, I thought until I watched your Town Hall meeting tonight that you were with us Americans in spirit, in heart, in cause, in grief...." says a letter from Dallas, Texas. "...I am ashamed of you. If your cities were attacked, do you think we in the USA would sit by and do nothing to help you?"

    Another American who watched the Town Hall called Canada "the world's best Boy Scout."

    From Omaha, Nebraska: "I am absolutely appalled by the response I have seen by the young generation tonight. Do they not think that generations of grandparents and parents do not care about the long-term wellbeing of their children? (Our leaders) are not war-mongers, but protectors of life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

    From Long Beach, California: "The more I hear of the reactions of Canadians, the more I think we should shut our borders and keep our money at home...."

    From Detroit: "Last night I watched the Canadian National Town Hall meeting. I have to honestly say it was one of the saddest moments of my life. I have been raised to believe that we were friends, brothers and allies. Last night as I watched the Canadian town hall meeting that illusion was dispelled."

    The majority of e-mails Americans have sent to CBC News Online since the events of September11th have expressed appreciation of Canada and its assistance in the wake of the attacks.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
    • 看来美国人是不会喜欢加拿大人了。布什在国会的讲话提到了好几个国家，但没提加拿大。没办法。 -rollor(Rollor); 2001-9-21 (#206513@0)
      • 那边境估计也会收紧了. -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-21 (#206559@0)
      • 这次加拿大真冤枉，先就被泼了一身脏水，又出了好多不利的新闻。现在人家又摆出“我的朋友只有英国”的姿势了。加拿大人这么多血和钱他们都没考虑，只想着凶手是不是从加拿大来的了。 -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-9-21 (#206670@0)
    • 布什在国会演讲中在thanked countries 根本没提canada,让canada惶恐不安。周五，Chrétien赶紧声明："If it is anything, it is an indication that our support goes without saying," -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-21 (#206805@0)
      • 看看thestar.com和cbc.ca的讨论组, 明明让布什刮了一巴掌还一个劲的说"不疼不疼", 还有的竟然说英国首相布莱尔已经代表了加拿大人接受感谢.... -zhihaoxx(Guest); 2001-9-21 (#206811@0)
        • 我很高兴你把那几个不雅的字去掉了，否则我正准备把我的贴子删掉呢。 -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-21 (#206837@0)
          • 那是一种常见疾病, 也没什么大不了的吧? 不过不是我删的, 还以为是你删的呢! -zhihaoxx(Dilbert*XP); 2001-9-21 (#206897@0)
            • 有兴趣的话，看一下这个贴子。 -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-21 (#206901@0)
    • 其实TOWN HALL里究竟说了些什么? CBC.CA找不到了 -zhihaoxx(Guest); 2001-9-21 (#206813@0)
      • CBC把新闻撤了，就象BBC那次讨论会后，BBC嚮美国道歉一样。加拿大只是比较温和一些，美国就不干了。 -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-21 (#206835@0)
