Ever since Prime Minister Paul Martin announced Canada's pullout from Ballistic Missile Defense program, Canadians have been on the lookout for a significant reaction from south of the border. It's as if President Bush is expected to respond like a Spiderman cartoon villain whose plans for world domination have just been foiled, shaking his fist in the air and screaming, "I'll get you Paulie Canuckistan!"
Don't expect this kind of low budget cheese from the USA. Instead, get ready for the Mother of All Snubs: a case of passive-aggression well beyond the help of even Dr. Phil. A blockbuster snub so incredibly huge that if it were to star in "Snub: The Movie", it would have J.Lo's makeup and hair people, Paris Hilton's deluxe Airstream trailer, and Steven Spielberg as its director.
US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, initially "rescheduled" her Canadian visit next month to sometime around the 12th of never.
Translation, Paulie: She just ain't that into you.
Condi has just handily taken one of those butt-kicking, knee-high leather boots of hers, sunk it into lil' Paulie Canuckistan's back bacon, and drop-kicked him into a state of irrelevancy. By adopting his position against the missile defense program, the Prime Minister has essentially guaranteed that Canadian business will be his cell mate in passive-aggressive hell.

Thanks for "pinging" on this article. She does nail it on the head and it is good that the president does not stoop down to the level of that of Mr. Dithers. However, if I were him I would have uninvited him to the ranch because I wouldn't want this slime to be all over my house.
Diefenbaker make a colossal screw up with the Canadian Arrow, a plane made 40-45 years ago that was doing what fighter jets do today....we could have been a contender....
but then wasn't it an American president that conned old Dief astray if I am not correct, methinks so, wouldn't want those Canadians getting ahead of the US now....
LOL
Yeah, and their beer sucks!
The screw up was in not selling the Avro technology and production line to Taiwan, or to Britain, or to Israel, or even to an agressive U.S. aerospace firm.
Heck, France or South Africa could have built the Arrow's for foreign export sales alone.
Instead, it simply became the MiG-25 Foxbat (see above pictures).

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
bttt
Dief allowed himself to be conned.
I had no sympathy for him when he was alive, and none whatsoever now. Call me uncharitable, but when I close my eyes, I imagine him running endlessly through H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks chased by a swarm of tiny, stinging Arrows.
I think you'll like this too.

Hehe ... I love it!
POWERFULLY-WRITTEN ARTICLE! Much thanks for posting it in full! :-)
Ought to be a fun time for all.
<< [Trudeau's] Canada frenchified itself to hold onto Quebec. IMHO, they should have cut it loose and stayed in the free Anglo-Saxon world. >>
They should have taken from it those huge areas that were not part of quebec until taken from other territories and provinces and added to quebec by the ottawa ferals and then have cut it loose -- and then fought the ensuing civil war -- and then, having reasserted their manhood and their masculinity, stayed in the free Anglo-Saxon world.
Works for me!
Have you seen this?
Whoo-hoo! Go, Condi!
Is it just possible that she could be our Lady Thatcher?
Does this writer know any cliches other than this MTV-VH-1-Hollywood drivel?
