I find I can bear Canada's misfortune with enormous fortitude.

Anyone else want maple syrup on their schadenfreude?

[ladyjane]

it's worse than 9/11.

Really? Seems the shoe is now is on the other foot.

[LuisBasco]

Canada, Oh Canada!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Good to see your posts again.

[George W. Bush]

Casually, assuming the Canadians already knew what he was about to say, the American dropped a bomb. Someone over at WHO, he said, had just mentioned Toronto was getting slapped with an international travel advisory warning the world to avoid Canada's largest city because of SARS. Hours later, just such a WHO advisory would plunge Toronto -- and all of Canada -- into what may be its worst economic crisis ever.

Another "American bastards" moment, a sweet moment and not at all accidental.

Gee, Canada, how do you like your little global village now?

Your former ally, the Yanks, might have blocked this travel ban on you from the globalists-run-amok at the WHO if you weren't such treacherous bastards to your old friend and neighbor.

Hmmm... What a shame if your Froggie government falls because of this unfortunate incident. We'd all be sad.

How could this happen, that Canadian officials were caught so completely off guard on such a critical issue?

Chretien was playing golf with bill clinton in the Carribean?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What did the US have to do with a Swiss agency's decision ?

[ImpotentRage]

That's really ugly (!) and I feel the same way. No maple syrup, though.

It could be as simple as the reason Canada was caught off guard because they were not on guard. I love these expressions that diplomats and bureaucrats use. The tendency of nations throughout the world is to stretch the fabric of truth until it rips.

what are the symptoms of SARS anyway.?

The Canadian people can take solace in their wonderfully cheap gun registration program that has yet to work.

Another "American bastards" moment?

Geez you're a cruel one!

I love it.

HehHehHeh ........

I wasn't joking. Powell, despite being a liberal globoweenie generally, is capable of exactly such a thing. This really fits his style too.

I don't think it was just an accident they heard it from us. And I don't think they'll misread the meaning either. A taste of things to come for Frogland North. I expect Bush to pursue regime change in Canuckistan through diplomatic and all non-military means.

Our president, you know, is not a very forgiving person.

[Argh]

Regular flu symptoms, coughing, headache, chest pains, difficulty breathing. Those were the ones mentioned the last time I read about them.

[Brian Allen]

Our President, thank God, is An American Man.

The first to hold the office for more than a decade -- and one of only a handful since Our Beloved FRaternal Repulic's Founding.

I know you are not joking but still love your turn of phrase.

The Canadian state is way past unfriendly and may -- on just such examples as its official sanctioning of the theft of American's property in Cubs, its haboring and succoring of our enemies and on the strength of its UN voting record -- best be described as hostile.

And the Canadian people have never experienced an International Border and have for far too long been denied the dignity of the consequences of their sneeringly-supercilious ways. It is past time they knew what it actually means to be an insignificant few acres of ice and snow to Our North -- and way past time for US to begin to afford them their missing dignity!

Best ones -- Brian

What's Canada complaining about? I thought they loved decisions made by the United Nations. A global committee of UN bureaucrats at WHO met, and in their infinite UN wisdom decided to declare Toronto a risk to the global community.

Isn't this how Canada wants things done?

[Walnut]

thanks !

[xm177e2]

Canadians love world government... until it's being done to them.
