Americans are 'bastards,' jokes Liberal MP, Alliance demands apology

Canadian Press

Wednesday, February 26, 2003 ADVERTISEMENT

OTTAWA -- The Canadian Alliance is calling on a Liberal MP to apologize for an offensive joking remark she made about the United States.

Carolyn Parrish was walking away from reporters after expressing frustration about the likelihood of war in Iraq when she joked: "Damned Americans, I hate the bastards." Alliance Leader Stephen Harper said the off-hand comment is the latest in a series of anti-American remarks by people in government and doesn't do anyone any good.

Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham refused to comment on the matter, saying he hadn't heard the remark himself. But he added that MPs must answer to their constituents for their actions.

Parrish, a Toronto-area MP, is one of a number of Liberals who don't want Canada to support a war in Iraq unless it's backed by the UN.

Last year, Prime Minister Jean Chretien's communications director resigned after using the term "moron" to refer to U.S. President George W. Bush.

Oh, I dunno...I have on occasion made jokes of that kind in front of my miserable, snow-dwelling, Molson's-besotted, toque-wearing bastard Canuck friends before...but not the big ones...especially not at hockey games...

As an American I gotta say that the Anti-American atittude that is world-wide is getting to be just a bit annoying.

They only act this way because we usually let this kind of crap roll of our backs and continue to try to help both with money and with the blood of our Countrymen protecting these ungrateful spoiled p!ss-ant Countriess.

If we were to actually only take care of our allys and not support our enemys they'd be alot less of the arrogance of biting the hand that feeds you.

"Canadians are just bent because they want to be the 51st state"

God forbid that that should ever happen. We should be thinking about unloading California if we could find someone to take them. Maybe Mexico?

Carolyn Parrish was walking away from reporters after expressing frustration about the likelihood of war in Iraq when she joked: "Damned Americans, I hate the bastards."

And you're an idiot, Ms. Parrish.

[xp38]

Her office and area she represents is a 20 minute drive away from me...any suggestions gang?

[habs4ever]

She ain't just any ordinary Liberal.She's a far left kook and this isn't the first time she has gone over the edge.She's a fe facto Marxist, but run in a Liberal riding and she has a job...

[expatpat]

.......when she joked: "Damned Americans, I hate the bastards."

"when she joked....."(?) Doesn't sound like any kind of joke to me.

**But he added that MPs must answer to their constituents for their actions.**

No worries for her then.

[Archangelsk]

I live less than 80 miles from the Canadian border. I will never set foot in that country again!

Until you need cheap medicine anyway. /sarcasm off

[habs4ever]

Her riding does seem to encompass an inordinate number of swarthy folks that have benefited mightily from lax immigration policies under years of Liberal domination.Gads, I'd think that lots of Mississauga is well...Muslim...and knee jerk Liberal.

Parrish tends to make Maude Barlow,Bob White and Mel Hurtig appear demure.She's also one of the dumbest bitches in Ottawa.

[Darheel]

As an American bastard I am personally offended by Carolyn Parrish.

I hate her right back I guess, and in an endless cycle, until bastards someday must invade and rule Canada. Yes, it will all be Carolyn's fault then. Heh heh.

Toronto - that explains a lot.

I'd take Alberta.

Maybe Saskatchewan as well.

There are certainly parts I would not want.

[metesky]

Actually, if ya ever read any of her crappy poetry, you'd see that Sapho would screw anything that walked, crawled, swam or flew.

And it was crappy poetry, some of it almost as bad as what passes for poetry these days.

[saluki_in_ohio]

I'd take Alberta

Alberta is the only Canadian province I would even consider as a new state.

"Dude, she's got series chipmunk face.."

That girl could eat a Big Mac through venitian(sp) blinds.

just my thoughts
