Posted by Bill As faithful readers know, I've publicly established the motivation for my irrational disdain and animated apathy towards Canada and all things Canadian: You see, a few years back, I had a roommate that dated one of them Canadiennes ... Well I'm not going to relive it, but it's all there in black-and-white, if you need a vile refresher. So apparently, some BIG STUFF is going on with our Northern Neighbors, and being a hyper-informed citizen of the world, I'm supposed to know about it. Dean Esmay IM's about his post on the matter: EsmayDean: Tories are kicking ass. See that? He almost got me to care. But despite the delicious prospects for sweet Canuckian schadenfreude, I still don't. Care. In fact, I don't care so much, I wrote a top ten about not caring: Top Ten Things I Think About/Care About/Root For More Than Canadian Politics Now leave me.

Certainly not to those filthy, filthy Canadians. You know what I'm saying? Filthy. Orgasm like palsied seals, they do. Hey, you're not canadian, are you?! Because what humourless folks they are, eh? Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 24, 2006 02:55 PM heh. Thanks for the chuckle. Posted by: Oyster at January 24, 2006 03:58 PM Well, Canadians who keep Peace will always outwit American WarMongers. Posted by: Me at January 24, 2006 04:07 PM InDcBill, In defense of Canada, we hate Anne Coulter. Anyway, next time your in Calgary come on by and I'll cook you an Alberta Grade A steak that will make that Texan thing you guys call a cow look like it is, roadkill. We will serve you a real rockie mountain water beer. Not that piss water that damn near glows green in DC, that you yanks drink (well, eastern Canadians drink piss-water too, but us westerners don't like to talk about that). It should please you to know that Calgary does all of it's business in $US bucks, so your money will fit in just fine here. We all drive big "Red Neck" SUV's, but we all have University degree's so we doesn't talk funny... I mean we do not talk funny. You can bring your gun, we all have one in Alberta... most of us own two or three. Most importantly though, our women don't yodel, they shout and scream their heads off, but they don't yodel. We don't hate yanks here... how could we when we're busy taking all your money for heating oil. Nope, you simply ask for it, and we will cheerfully pipe it down. We don't have a good football team yet, bout' highschool level compared to the NFL, but we're hoping to get one soon. You know, you get oil from us, we screw you for a decent ball club. We've heard you guys in DC like to wear dress' though... don't bring those, we don't like men in dress'. Posted by: JoeCalgary at January 24, 2006 04:18 PM Heh. Hey, that almost sounds appealing. Can Joe Calgary's comment singlehandedly derail my mindless anti-Canadian bigotry? Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 24, 2006 04:35 PM Well, Canadians who keep Peace will always outwit American WarMongers. And apparently great at spelling. Unless "biggoted" and "your" are just some super-special grandfathered English-Canadian poncey ways to spell the words "bigoted" and "you're," that is. In which case, I "apologise." Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 24, 2006 04:48 PM don't confuse canada being anti american with being anti bush. clinton and chretien were very close, and canadians had no problem with that. we also supported america in afghanistan, and are poised to takeover NATO operations there this month. the missile defence issue is very unpopular with canadians of all political beliefs. we view it with objectivity (though since the US is going ahead with it anyway, i see no reason to not be at the table when decisions are made regarding their airspace), and think it will be innefective in acheiving its purpose (waste of money), and will only cause the rougue countries to "work around it", or worse, develop their own. that said, canadians are by and large more liberal than americans. we're cool with decriminalizing marijuana (even many conservatives), and we will never give up universal healthcare insurance. in fact, it gives us quite an advantage in drawing manufacturing jobs away from the US. imagine if the government started paying GM's healthcare bill, how much better would their bottom line be? well, that's basically the way it works here, but for every employer. take comfort in the fact that there is still much more that brings us together than pulls us apart. Posted by: travis at January 24, 2006 05:24 PM Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 24, 2006 05:28 PM what can i say? we love to fuck. Posted by: travis at January 24, 2006 05:35 PM Heh. Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 24, 2006 05:36 PM Bill, You got me at "INDCBill: that is nice. What's an ottowa?" Amazingly, the Ottawa Valley is itself fairly conservative. Think of Ottawa as Washington DC with snow replacing the cocaine (snow of a different variety). Outside the city core, there are today no sitting Liberals or NDP'ers. Huzzah! Too bad Toronto and the Atlantic didn't come through. If you're ever in Ottawa, Bill, I'll be happy to buy you a beer, which does stand up to those of Alberta's, though our steak definitely isn't as good as JoeCalgary's. (Well it is, but it's only because we eat Alberta beef). Heck, I'll do the same for you JoeCalgary, if only to persuade you that we don't all drink piss-water beer out here! Thanks for a lot of laughs (long time lurker, first time poster), Posted by: Holmwood at January 24, 2006 08:56 PM Shouldn't it be "Canadia", anyway? Posted by: mojo at January 24, 2006 09:51 PM Tell you what InDCBill... you get us a decent football team... any American College ball team will do, but we'd really like an NFL team (In my wildest dreams), and I will personally round-up all yodeling, American bashing bitch's, box them up, and Fed-Ex them to Osama Bin Laden with a card saying "Courtesy of the United Nations Aid program". Deal? I should mention Calgary's Football team is okay, it's just not NFL... need I say more? Oh, I lied about Easterners and Beer too... they do have some good ones, but they are heavily taxed to help pay for unemployed Carplant workers. You know, like one of those "For every burger you buy, we'll give 1/1000th of a cent to feed the childern in (place third world nation here)." If you come in July, when it's about 90 degrees above, at Stampede time during the "Worlds greatest outdoor show"... we can promise you'll be completely irritated by 1 million of your American Brethern, dragging their snowmobiles behind them, constantly asking "Where's the snow?". The good news is you'll get a decent laugh when we give them directions. (Hint, follow that road for roughly 6000 miles and don't stop until you see the sign saying "northpole", if you meet a guy on the road speaking Russian, you've gone to far.) Posted by: JoeCalgary at January 25, 2006 12:07 PM Good thing her dad does not see your post of contempt. He works for Quebec Labrador Power and may be tempted to do a computer time down that will put all of the USA north-east into the dark and freeze little old ladies in their apartments. You better hope also that he is not a member of the FLQ. A big monky wrench jamming the locks at Beaharnois Quebec could choke off the Seaway and kill all heavy commerce income for Chicago and the north-central USA. He has a brother in Alberta. You better hope he aint steamed enough to get his dad to close off the US branch of the natural gas pipeline. The whole US west coast will be shivering in the cold from Bellingham Washington to Disnyworld. Just kidding. We Canadians love you guys, even though you mistakenly assume Canadians are talking when it's only our corrupt moonbat Wise up you guys. When Kerry slanders Canadians we know it's just him and not Americans talking. If we really didn't like Americans, we would move out of Florida and Arizona and all go to Belize instead. TG Posted by: TonyGuitar at January 25, 2006 12:22 PM Belize? Tony, I thought we'd all agreed to send our Navy down to the Carribean and invade Turks-Cacos? Let's see, that was last year right, so the inflatable dinghy should get there sometime in 2009... boy, watch out then... we'll really kick some ass when those three sailor's from Quebec get out of the boat... and figure out which end of the rifle to point. Yep, it will be a great day for Canada. We will proudly raise our flag, and then set out to begin the process of making certain everyone is confused about their national identity, and placed in debt due to their new, bloated, healthcare program. Then, just to show them we mean business, we'll open a detachment of Mounties. Oh wait... we'll have to get permission from Disney first to use the RCMP logo. Oh well. We'll leave the French Soldiers instead. They won't protect anything, being French and all, but the wine lists at the local restaurants should improve. Yep... I can see it now, just send my welfare cheque there... Do they have football in the Turks? Posted by: JoeCalgary at January 25, 2006 12:50 PM Okay InDCBill, I've started my end of the deal. This has been posted on many Canadian sites (well... one site): "I have made a landing in the US, and InDCBill is now considering not hating Canada... please inform all yodeling, American bashing French women to stay in doors. Do not go out of the house, unless you intend to volunteer for my new "UN Aid Program". In which case, please step through this door which vaguely resembles a packing crate lid." I figure for every 10 yodeling woman, I should get 1 descent collage ball player... how's that sound? My trapping is not going well right now, but a buddy of mine in Vancouver, BC suggested using dope as bait. He's says yodeling, American bashing women love the ganj... and since we grow the best in the world in Alberta, I expect my crates to be filling up faster, soon. We think of yodeling American bashing women as sort of like rats here... that make's it tougher, because Alberta is a rat free place... we even have a rat patrol... stops rats at the borders. Sort of our version of a cruise missle... well okay, it's really just a bunch of drunk farmers with dynamite, but their mission is the same. "Seek and Destroy". Anyway, when I have enough for 50 players... I'll let you know. Posted by: JoeCalgary at January 25, 2006 01:34 PM Yes, they love the ganja. Vegan soy hamburger patties might work as well.
