Woe Canada

A huge political scandal, a fall of government, an election held during the holiday season -- mark your calendars, 29 November 2005 is the date upon which Canada nearly threatened to almost become somewhat close to marginally interesting.

Cana-who now?

Posted by: harrison on November 29, 2005 05:35 PM

Well, it's easy to overlook little Canada, seeing how it's all tucked away down there. I vaguely recall that they like to say "eh" a lot.

I fart in your general direction.

Didn't those clowns already fail a no-confidence vote last summer? I'd thought the soap opera was fascinating; I was wondering if Her Majesty herself was going to step in and tell the Canucks what happens to rulers who ignore the writ of Parliament.

She didn't, but it looks like she didn't have to.

What's most interesting is that even the NDP have decided to cancel the farcical Paul Martin Show this time 'round. I'm guessing the NDP think they have a shot at pulling Canada even further leftward domestically and into the EU's orbit internationally. The plan seems to be kill or split the "Grits", pull in stray lefties, and ally with Bloc Quebecois.

Canada is to the US what Danny Devito was to Arnold Schwartzenegger in Twins. Same parent totally different outcomes.

Canada and the Homosexual-doers -- Ace is posting my two favorite issues.

I used to spend a lot of time in Alberta (Edmonton) back when I worked as a consultant. Alberta is cool: like Wyoming, only a lot bigger. B.C. is cool, too. It's only les Quebecois that ruin it for everybody.

While in Edmonton, I ate at a place called Smitty's every night, and drank a superb micro-brew whose name now escapes me. Plus they had a waitress now that could have given a dead man a boner. This was a large factor in my decision to eat there every night. So Canada can muster delights to both the palate and the eye!

Canada is great except for the Canadians.

Posted by: The Warden on November 29, 2005 06:22 PM

...well, and except for the Canadian waitresses giving dead men boners...

And somehow microbrew is involved.

This is a really informative thread, I'm learning a lot about Canadia, thanks guys.

My Dad, Archie Bunker, took his 2nd wife to Quebec once on a little vacation.

On a little sojourn one day, they decided to order food from a lady street-vendor rather than have a sit down meal.

Dad started placing his order and the lady told him in French that she didn't speak English.

Dad turned to his bride and said, "The stupid bitch says she can't speak English." And he left, but not before he noticed the vendor lady turning many shades.

Apparently she could understand him just fine.

Hey Ace,
Are you having an ugly american contest tonight?

Posted by: Strider on November 29, 2005 08:02 PM

I thought all the ugly Americans went up north after the last election?

Posted by: Sortelli on November 29, 2005 08:19 PM

Hey Strider, what's so ugly about calling Martin a clown and insinuating that the Queen would have been within her rights to demand his literal head months ago?

Er, ok... you said "ugly Americans". Let me know where the ugly limey thread is...

I used to spend a lot of time in Alberta (Edmonton) back when I worked as a consultant.

I'm with Monty. Edomonton is actually a pretty cool place. It's cowboy country. Plus they have this huuuge indoor mall, the world's largest, that helps them make it through the winter. Information on the mall can be found here.

Posted by: Michael on November 29, 2005 10:08 PM

It is said the Edmonton Mall has more submarines than the RC Navy. They do have awesome almond croissants there however. The amusement park is on the lame side but for indoors acceptable.

Posted by: Laddy on November 29, 2005 11:19 PM

The amusement park is on the lame side but for indoors acceptable.

Well, the water park is lame too, but if you live in Edmonton and you want to ride the waves indoors in February, it's a lot cheaper than a flight to Hawaii.

I actually got treated to the Korean version of the Edmonton Mall in Seoul. The company that owned it (a major Korean department store chain, at the time), shut the place down so that the team from my company had exclusive access to the place.

It was fun; this place had many of the same features as the Edmonton Mall. But, the Edmonton Mall is better.

I'll go back to dissing Canadians tomorrow. Tonight, I'm just sayin' that the Edmonton Mall is awesome.

Looks like even the mounties are tired of their bumbling leaders its a real shake up at the RCMP becuase DUDLEY DORIGHT,INPECTOR FENWICK and his duaghter NELL re going to vote their leaders out becuase SINIDLEY WHIPLASH has failed to bring the country up from its doldrums

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show.
She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
