I love it when ANYBODY pokes fun at the present Canadian arrogant self-righteous superiority attitude perpetuated by the Liberal Party and Carolyn Parrish. As far as Adscam goes, it feels so good to see the Liberals have finally been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Hopefully there'll be dancing in the streets when they finally get kicked out of office. It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of crooks! :stupid:

Hurray! The latest international poll on attitudes toward the Evil Empire (a.k.a., the USA) is out and guess what! The U.S. of A. is the most negatively regarded nation/region among six possible choices, including Russia (which is helping Iran with its nuke technology) and the freedom-crushing communist dictatorship in Beijing. Apparently, liberating people from barbaric totalitarian regimes is no longer the "in" thing it was sixty years ago. I just feel so unhip.

When asked if it would be better if the European Union had more influence in the world than the United States, an average of 58 percent of respondents in the polled nations said yes. In Canada, the figure was 63 percent. . . :biglaff:


. . .But hey, many Americans still like Canada. According to a MacLean's poll, the most common word Americans offer to describe Canadians is "tolerant," followed by "compassionate" and "funny." ("Funny" is presumably a reference to Jim Carrey and not to Howie Mandell or, for that matter, the "Honorable" Carolyn Parrish). The most common word Canadians offer to describe Americans is "arrogant."

I guess most Americans must think it's "compassionate" of Canadians to be so "tolerant" of our "arrogance." . . . :biglaff:


. . .All in all, though, Americans have other things on their minds besides winning populatiry contests -- either international or Canadian. As a result, American-bashing by Canadians is unlikely to create much of a blip on America's radar. Unless of course Canadians start placing improvised explosive devices on American highways. That might draw some negative attention
