Remember This One?

actually I hadn't heard this one? But it isn't that surprising.

If I stand for my country today...will my country be here to stand for me tomorrow?

I hadn't heard it either, and I <em>did</em> notice things like Harper's twice slithering off to Faux to apologise for our reluctance to help slaughter Iraqis. <p>I have to say I <em>won't</em> believe this story without something like a usable citation.

Perhaps it would be better (if either Harper or Martin wins some sort of majority) to create a place in the US cabinet for the Prime Minister..........his new title would be called "Governor of the Outer Territories" (or outer limits).

Sorry. Harper's idea was to appoint the Canadian ambassador to the US to Cabinet. My misktake.

While that's what he said (for now), it may well turn out that the way you first stated it will come true.......

Regardless, the Americans would never think of doing it and Canada and Canadians should not even consider even thinking of doing such a stupid thing.

Not Canadians! But the politicians now..............

Appointing our Ambassador to the United States, the country we sell 80% of our goods to, is a good idea. Wether people like it or not, the American market is our bread and butter.
Consulting the Provincial Premiers is another good idea, the Liberals almost lost the country in 1995. More Federal-Provincial dialogue with respect to issues that are divisive is a good thing.

I don't like having unelected in cabinet, and MPs
generally don't get made ambassadors.

And I think we have to get over this notion of them being
our bread and butter - they need us more than we need them
if their trade deficit is anything to go by. (Back when
TIME ran its cover "would anyone notice if Canada
disappeared?" I thought there's a real quick way to find
out. Cut off the oil, cut off the water, cut off the
natural gas, cut off the electricity, cut off the lumber,
blow up the Alaska pipeline, block the Alaska highway and
the St Lawrence, bar their planes from landing, confiscate
their military bases, etc etc.) We do a lot of north-south
international but only because we don't trade east-west
domestically nearly as much as we ought. This
bread-and-butter story is just an annexationist psyop.

(Could someone repair the lead again? "Canadian ambassador
to the US ambassador" is just silly.)

Anon,

Wish you'd separate yourself from all the other Anons. That post deserves it.

sorry, Either konqi barfed my old login cookie or vive
outtimed it.

Like I told Bill O'Really when he screamed for a boycott of Canada... If you start with the gunning computers of the Abrams tanks, please do. =p

yeah like you guys invented that piece of technology! A Canadian corporation, for one reason or another, is under contract by an American Corporation just to build the thing.
Just like G.M., Ford, Chrysler etc.

What's your point, Mike ??
