Well, I was down in the USA last week and heard FOX commentator Bill O'Reilly telling the world why Australia is better than Canada and hence the USA is superior to the whole bloody universe . . . . and how this can all be measured by Olympic medals.
Its because we're socialists here in Canada.

Doesn't quite explain how Canada was fourth overall in medals in Salt Lake though.

This is why I can't believe people take this guy seriously and defend him. What a 'goof'! (CalgaryPuck friendly version of multiple syllabic string of cursing).
Australia is more socialist than Canada anyway. I spent four months there last year. My father has lived down thee for ten years, I have many friends down there. And this is something that they are proud of. The reason their atheletes do so well is because they are identified and trained from an early age, but make no mistake, their publically funded by taxes. Their tax rate is higher than ours.
I wouldn't say EITHER of the coutries are truly socialist, but if you were to put it on a scale we are obviously left of the U.S. The thing is Aus is left of us. I wonder if he has ever been there or is just talking out of his (more multi syllabic string of curse words)
Humble corrospondant my foot. I think this is a shot to Canadians because we didn't support their war and the Aussies did.
