They actually have the real cheap versions of the F18's, they call them the CF-18. They have been slowly cutting back the number of these aircraft, they are mainly based in Cold Lake Alberta and Baggotville in Queerbek. They will probly never get around to updating the CF-18's some of which have 20 year old airframes..

Is that picture Franx\cois or her brother Frank?... At first glance I thought it was a photo of Harry Potter with his glasses off.

Hey, ugly American. Before you go off half cocked, furore is the British variant of furor, which would be entirely appropriate in a Canadian newspaper.

Do the homework and don't rely on spell checker. It creates more mistakes than it corrects.

"What in the heck is furore?"

An Italian racing car, the Furore Testosterosa.

[Argh]

In a civilized country this egregious insult would be mitigated not by accepting a resignation but by a termination of the offending employee. The Liberal Party isn't that civilized, continuing as usual to root around ignorantly in its own filth.

No doubt he's trying to cover his tracks again by claiming that she "uses the term all the time, even on me". Hahaha the lying scum backstabber. I don't trust them. It's always about the Canadians and how we are bad just because we are Americans! And we're supposed to reap praise on them. That country doesn't lead on anything but the moron department.

The Microsoft spell checker suggests the correct spelling of Chretien should be Cretin.

I think governments like Germany and Canada are having to scrape the bottom for hired help. There is this lack of professionalism. Conduct like this should never be tolerated and they should be fired immediately and escorted off government property. That is what I would face in my non-union job if I were openly disrespectful towards management and vented those sentiments to a newspaper. If I talked to another employee like this, I would at least get a reprimand.

Imagine if Bush's communications director had called Chretien a moron. That would be the ex-communications director.

I did not know Jim Carrey (sp?) was a spokesman for the Canadian government! :)

Of course, and driven by Gonadal Hormones.

Thank you for the clarification on the variation on "furor" vs. "furore". I should have known that, but I did not. I stand corrected.

[Bonaparte]

Yep. It's got that Spermatozzini injection system, the long-stroke Scrotalucci crank and the indestructible Testicularelli drive shaft.
