I didn't get very far in the article before dismissing it as BS - but this paragraph caught my attention.

And the United States should be alarmed by that development.
If 'most' Canadians are more corservative then their politicians, shouldn't it be reflected in the elections? Oh wait - apparently Canada isn't a democracy anymore - it's a liberal socialist nation

I find your choice of font somewhat conservative pritchke! [/QUOTE]
Not to worry!! The choice is only temporary. It is sort of a little social experiment. Later I will convert it to one that is a little less conservative.

Yes!, and my back is almost broken because of the taxation. Oh dear I think I will have to go get some social welfare to survive this month.

Pritchke made the necessary corrections although I must point out that EVERY last government on earth spend more money than they make. I mean we're not the one adding 400 billions to our debt this year. Sounds like little Tom is a little paranoid looking for communists behind every corner. Or could it be *gasp* a presidential election coming around the corner and he is supporting Bush?

Donut, LAMO!

Timber, the same as above!

Oh I forgot

THE INVASION HAS BEGUN!!

That choice of font had me paging back up to see where your post had stopped and someone else's reply had started [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Good post Pritchke - the Barrett dude gets "Bonehead of the Year" award. He doesn't write for the NRO does he - it just sounds like their sort of twaddle?

This guy is obviously a complete lunatic, with no apparent knowledge of Canada whatsoever. Sure, we have our problems but who doesn't? Can't say the same for racking up another government surplus? Excuse me, Mr. Bush...we can loan you some of our surplus to help you out with that enourmous deficit. Of course, it will be a reasonable interest rate. 32% sound good?

Who was it that bailed out California during the power crisis? Britain? Nope, don't think so. It was...you guessed it...your evil Canadian neighbors. Oh and by the way, we still haven't been paid for that yet. Perhaps Mr. Barrett would like to pony up some cash.

Legalized drugs? Is this guy serious? Does he think you can go down to your local 7-11 and buy an eight ball of cocaine along with a slurpee? Legalized for the medical profession, and it's only M-J.

Homosexual marriages? So freakin what...who really cares? Obviously a homophobe as well as a moron.

Galloping Socialism? What the hell does that mean? Government funded health care. At least everybody is entitled to health care, not just those who have money. The waiting lists are for ellective surgery, where as surgery that is deemed necessary has the shortest wait time possible.

I think we need to treat Tommie boy like a computer. Punch information into him. Get your facts straight before you go shooting off at the mouth pal.
