It looks like frosty relations with the not so great white north will continue for quite some time. Canada’s new ambassador to the United States has identified Fox News as public enemy #1. Frank Mckenna, the failed premier of a small province most noted for collecting unemployment benefits between seal clubbing seasons, is peeved at what he calls the “Fox factor.”
The ambassador claims Fox spreads lies and disinformation about his homeland and his plan is to mail out anti-Fox news letters to the more than one million Canadians living in Florida, Arizona and other warm weather states and urge them to counter the “Fox falsehoods.”
If he thinks a glossy mail-out is the answer to the deteriorating relationship between the two neighbors, it’s likely the ambassador has been getting into some of that soon-to be-decriminalized marijuana that has become Canada’s number one export.
He’s particularly steamed at Bill O’Reilly for noting that Canada is not doing its part in the war on terror (it isn’t) and is a haven for terrorists (there are fifty such cells in operation according to the RCMP). This, coming from a member of the government that turned its back on its long time ally regarding Iraq and then cried and stomped its feet like a four year old when informed that only those supporting the war effort could get in on the rebuilding contracts.
The relationship has actually been in the toilet since the 1960’s when then Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, sought to sever ties with Britain and the U.S. and move closer to the Soviet Union. Trudeau, who clearly hated all things American and was best friends with Fidel Castro, made anti-Americanism a cherished Canadian value. Not that there’s a lot of them.

LOL! The Freepathon came up with the text about Canadian mad cow case!
Thanks for the ping.
Not to be a spoil-sport, but as a Canadian Floridian that experienced 2 of the 4 last year, what assistance did Canada send? Crews to help get the power lines up again? We had a lot of out of state people helping with that. Didn't think Ontario Hydro was involved, though.
Actually, I'm from NB. I'm not sure about ON, but I do know that crews from NB went down to assist.

I can send one dozen teenagers with B-B guns.
Will that be sufficient?
I'm sorry the People's Republic of Canada had to put up with a bug like Trudeau, and I'm sorry that Canada's parliament has legalized Same Sex Attraction Disordered marriage nationwide. You can thank the aisle-crossing Belinda Strosnatch for that one.
What a bug. Maybe when Belinda Strosnatch dies, they can have a Satanic marriage in Hell.
Please! Don't give me any more reasons to hate Canada. I'm reaching overload!
I have to as, is there any reason left not to hate Canada?

I have to ask, is there any reason left not to hate Canada?
"Please invade us now America."
Sometimes the most brilliant posts are the shortest. You gave me the best laugh I've had in days.
Thanks,
