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.”

Gubmint money at work.

As far as I know, as awful as Trudeau was (and Ill be the first and loudest to say so), he was never a fan of the USSR.

"when then Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, sought to sever ties with Britain and the U.S. and move closer to the Soviet Union"

Source please???????

[what's up]

Here's part of Ray Suarez' report on PBS with Margaret Lehrer, Oct 2000.

"RAY SUAREZ: In 1968, the phenomenon of Trudeaumania swept Canada. The country was infatuated with the flashy bachelor who in three years went from obscure law professor to parliament member, to prime minister. Trudeau quickly became known for his sports car, the company he kept and the signature red rose on his lapel. Trudeau's style of leadership often clashed with official Washington. He opposed the Vietnam War and welcomed American draft dodgers; expanded economic relations with Fidel Castro's Cuba; promoted peace with the Soviet Union, to the dismay of then-President Reagan; and fought to protect Canada's identity from its imposing neighbor to the South."

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.

Speaking as a former Canadian, now U.S. citizen (longer than I was Canadian) ... with no great love for Trudeau ... I can state categorically that aside from the fact Canada has relations with Cuba ... the rest is pure BS.

"Frank Mckenna, the failed premier of a small province most noted for collecting unemployment benefits between seal clubbing seasons"

Clubbing seals in New Brunswick? Someone's not doing any fact checking here.

They are right about Trudeau and Castro though - I believe Maggie (his then wife) even slept with Fidel. Can't you just hear the echo "but it was in the spirit of the times"

I am so glad I didn't grow up in the sixties. Trudeau was gone before I could vote.

[Phlap]

...of a small province most noted for collecting unemployment benefits between seal clubbing seasons...

That would be Newfoundland. New Brunswick, the province of which Frank was premier, is noted for forest products, Donald Sutherland, Matt Stairs of the KC Royals and Rheal Cormier of the Phillies.

RE: "When Ronald Reagan addressed the Canadian parliament he was booed and heckled by socialist blowhard, Svend Robinson, who has since been convicted of shoplifting a $5,000 diamond engagement ring for his boyfriend. The parlimentarian was cheered across the land for his “principled stand.”

CORRECTION:

I think the ring was worth $50,000, not $5,000.

Also I think Svend Robinson is the author of Bill 38, the gay marriage legislation just passed in Canada.

"The ambassador claims Fox spreads lies and disinformation about his homeland..."

Well of COURSE Fox lies about Canada - the truth would be too boring for words!
