This one writes like Lewis Carroll on cocaine with an LSD chaser. Tweedledum and Tweedledee couldn't have concocted anything more absurd.

Wow... The author has knocked this one out of the park! Mark Steyn better watch out, Andrew Coyne could become a rival for having the clearest vision, sharpest insight, and most piercing wit.
To: Eva
Yes, Andrew Coyne is a common sense (read conservative) writer.

"He could serve out his sentence on weekends." Yup! Satire. I didn't catch it until he said that. This guy is really subtle.

It's perfectly clear. The Americans lack the authority to launch this illegitimate and unnecessary war, which can only bring great suffering and instability to the region. At the same time, clearly it is their privilege and right to do so, and we wish them Godspeed.This is an absurd, two-faced contradiction.
You have no legitimacy, U.S., but we wish you Godspeed?
It doesn't work that way. If they believe we are wrong, they should not wish us well. If they believe we are right, we cannot have acted illegitimately.
The spineless bastards don't have a conviction. It would make more sense if the Canadians said, "You're wrong, U.S., and Canada can't abide your behavior."
Canada obviously let's a corrupt United Nations dictate its foreign policy decisions.

Brilliantly put! Would that it be read before Parliment.
To: Oldtory
Thank God at least some can read Now ,if they would just understand what they read. It would be proof that's proven! :)

It's the best there is.
"What's wrong with this man, nurse?"
"He said he sees two of everything, doctor."
"How many fingers am I holding up, son?"
[Holds up one finger.]
"Two."
"How many now?"
[Holds up two fingers]
"Two."
"How many now?"
[Holds up three fingers]
"Two."
"He's right, nurse, he sees two of everything."

Hey, watch it. There are some folks who think they think,
but if there isn't a barf alert present, have a very hard time.
What the world needs now is training wheels. ;)

Biting, searing, satire that is all the more so for its simple truth!
Absolutely hilarious!!!
The present Canadian government is a disaster.
Pray all for the continued rise of the Alliance Party, the Conservative official opposition that is the closest to overtaking the Socialist Nazis.

It is Satire
Brilliant satire too, I might add. He makes the Canuck Government look rediculous.

Right a proof is a proof if it is proven unless.. maybe we better check with Chirac.

The actual quote ( man, I can't believe I went and looked it up and it's not satire ) was:
A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof.
And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven."
(His remarks were made after reporters asked what kind of proof Canada wanted to see before backing a U.S. attack against Iraq.)

PULEEZE - This guy is articulating just how LUDICROUS and HYPOCRITICAL the Chretien government's position is. That is clearly the gist of this article.

Why do I feel sick and depressed again?I guess just the same old thing- whenever I think of our government. How can my fellow Ontarians have voted for this clown?
