Hah!

What a dimbulb.
Still hasn't heard of this little thing called a 'silent majority.'

If Canada elects a conservative government, that's it, I'm leaving.

I'm gonna move to MAINE

I counted four lies in that selection of Moore's text.

1st&2nd lie
you have a great sense of humor, and certainly a well-developed sense of irony.

3rd lie
You declare gay people have equal rights -- and then you elect a man who says they don't.

4th lie
You give your native peoples their own autonomy and their own territory -- and then you vote for a man who wants to cut aid to these poorest of your citizens.

At least Moore didn't offer this advice to those Canadians who might not vote:

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

.

"You give your native peoples their own autonomy and their own territory -- and then you vote for a man who wants to cut aid to these poorest of your citizens."

Autonomy is the condition of something or someone that does not depend on anything else.

How can you call someone autonomous if they are receiving aid?

He's not just a hypocritical, fat douchebag. He's an illogical, self-contradicting, hypocritical, fat douchebag.

Not sure how correct this is, over a month later, but this Dec. 16 entry at First Things floated the possibility that gay marriage would be coming up for a vote again if the conservatives won in Canada.

Canada? I've heard of Canada.

It's a country or an island or something like that, right?

Where is it exactly? Near Scotland?

Red, I know some people who say they come from 'Canada', but when I ask them to show me on the map, they can't. They point to some desolate, moose-infested wasteland between Minnesota and Alaska. Yeah, right. Nobody lives there. They must think I'm really gullible.

David,

Yep. But its cute isn't it? How they have their own elections and pass their own laws and such.....like it's a reality.

Kind of like the Trekkies man.

If Canada actually goes Conservative, I can't wait to re-do the "Jesusland" pic that got circulated last year and throw it right back at some people.

Speaking of problems in Canada. Supremes refused to hear Research in Motion's appeal.

gonna be 'spensive.

Dave in Texas, am I misunderstanding this case or did RIM really base their defense on the fact that yes, they did infringe a patent, but its ok because they're running it offshore?

And yes, one party in power for more than a decade gets a little...long

Unless, of course, it' MY party. Then they should reign in perpetuity. How come we never heard anyone on the left complain about how "the reigns of power have been in one party's hands for too long" before the 1994 elections?

Dave in Texas,

It may not be that big a problem for RIM in the end. The suit is based on three patents held by the plaintiff. Last week the U.S. patent office ruled two of those patents to be invalid and put extra staff on the case of the third to "resolve" the matter.

Sounds like they may be going to throw out the final patent as well.

There is a small problem here-that being "conservative" in Canada is not the same as being a "conservative " in the US.
Socialised medicine won't end, Jesus will not be claimed as the rule from which all law should come and I'm sure the new ruling party doesn't have the profit motive to go to war. But if in name only is good enough who am I to argue.

Red, did they invalidate the other 8? In the 2002 case, the court found they violated 11 of 16 NTP patents

So Mikie Moore want to stick his big snout into the elections in CANADA why dont he just stay of hollywood with the rest of the reptiles

Keep, talking Kate. It's that sort of nonsense that has led your party into the political wilderness.

Dave in Texas,

I dunno. I just read a newspaper article........

Well, according to her e-mail address, Kate is only 13, so that explains why she's such an idiot. Hopefully she'll grow out of it.

kateinmn illustrates the basic problem that lefties have in politics. Bitterness, anger, and misiinformation is obviously not working for them; and yet that's all they really have to offer. Yeesh. Talk about doubling-down on a bad hand....

I guess Michael Moore thinks it's effective to insult his audience repeatedly and then ask them to do somthing his way. It works for the left and its lemmings here in USA, why not Canada? Fascinating.

And wasn't it Quebec that voted recently whether or not to make Fwench its official language? C'est stupide.

Jeez, the patronizing contempt that comes across "But you have a Parliamentary system (I'll bet you didn't know that - see, that's why you need Americans telling you things!)."

I'd vote the other way just to spite the fat slob.

"Well, according to her e-mail address, Kate is only 13..."

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Moore is such an unadulterated douchebag that he presumes that Canadians are waiting breathlessly for his pronouncements on what they should do in their elections. Yeah, and insults work so well when you are trying to convince someone of your point-of-view. Talk about an idiot with an inflated ego.

I recall a study performed by some folks at Yale which found that incompetent people don't know they are incompetent. I guess gasbags like Moore don't realize they are gasbags too.

Moore, Moore... Hm. Don't quite remember...

--Hey! Isn't he the guy who helped the Republicans win massive victories in '02 and helped insure GWB's second term in '04?

Who's Michael Moore?

So where are all the American libs going to go now that their promised land is going (hopefully) red?

Just a bit of agressive marketing by Lardass, he gets a enraged, indignant liberal minority up there it just increases the market for his snake oil.

Laughing smugly all the way to the bank.

I'm wondering why Moore is still referring to himself as an American.

Is it because Krispy Kreme has it's headquarters here in North Carolina and not Toronto?

So where are all the American libs going to go now that their promised land is going (hopefully) red?

May I suggest Bolivia under Evo Morales? Or Venezuela under Hugo Chavez?

There's always the Workers' Paradise® of Cuba.

In the post, Slublog says, "Like the Democratic party here in the United States, the liberals focused their message on the urban areas of the country and ignored the growing discontent with their rule in rural Canada."

True, but unlike the US, the effect of that is muuuuuch greater.

I did a bit of rough research a year or so ago on the urban/rural split in the two countries. I found websites listing (in order) the largest 50 cities in the US and the largest 30 in Canada (data maybe 3 years old, but close enough). Those 50 US cities (from No 1 NY to No 50 Wichita at 355,000) contain 16 percent of the total US population. The 30 Canadian cities (No 1 Toronto to No 30 Moncton at 117,000) contain 66 percent - a full two thirds - of the overall Canadian population! Toronto alone has 16 percent.

So dedicating an election campaign, and for that matter all domestic policies, to the interests and prejudices of the city-folks is usually a winner. (And screw the hicks, as usual.)

But this time, it seems to have had its limits. At least, let's hope so ....

i've had enough of all this canada-bashing

im gonna open the gate here and let a coupla mad cows down into your mean old country

-gotta log off... only get brief spurts of internet service in these igloos

i'll be back
