Are "the Canadians" Right to Laugh At Us?

Are “the Canadian” Right to Laugh At U.S.?

Here’s an email making the rounds I just got:

It seems to me that it’s just some guy names Howard Galganov who is laughing. This is all I could find on Galganov = Howard Galganov - Wikipedia

What do you think? Please don’t just say its just an email it doesn’t matter.

It seems pretty fishy to me, but I’m not Canadian or American.

O.k.
It’s just a piece of email from a radio hack and failed politician who will say anything to get people to listen to him, so why did you bother to post it here?

According to that Wikipedia link, he’s a failed talk show host and failed politician. His credentials for understanding the opinions of Canadians or American seem to be pretty much non-existent.

He doesn’t even have a coherent argument. What are we supposed to do with this?

He will be dealt with.

They win one stupid hockey game, and they start laughing at us. You’ll get yours, Canucks. Oh, you’ll get yours.

Just a tip - sane Canadians are even less likely to make an accusation of ‘leftist media’ than sane Americans.

It’s more like worried for you than laughing at you. Mostly. :slight_smile:

The whole “will not finish his term… at least in a conventional way” is really what dismisses it for me- it just reeks of a passive-aggressive threat against the president. What other options are there? Does he REALLY mean to suggest that the democratic party would get so frustrated at their own elected representative that they’ll pull a complete 180 and desire to depose of him? It’s just baffling.

I pretty much stopped reading after the phrase, “…ethnic socialists (ACORN)…” This thing was written by an asswipe.

More likely hinting at assassination; the Right does that fairly often.

This is a guy who says of Sarah Palin:

And my favorite:

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that he doesn’t speak for all, many, or probably even any Canadians.

There is a certain part of the English-speaking community in Quebec that is very conservative by Canadian standards, for historical reasons. This person is part of that community. In no way does he reflect the thinking of the majority of Canadians.

I’m going to guess that you’re correct.

He’s inconsistent, too. In the first paragraph, he says that he said that it ‘won’t take 6 months’ for the people (presumably, the ones who voted for him) to realize their mistake. But then, in the third paragraph, he says that they [again, the people who voted for him] will never admit a mistake or take responsibility for a curse.

He also calls Obama “America’s first emperor” (incorrect, Emperor Norton was the first American emperor), but he also says he isn’t getting anything done because he’s too busy addressing the nation, except that he’s also everywhere, except where he should be. Meanwhile, the writer calls Obama the Messiah, while saying even Democrats will get fed up with him, despite no-one in America realizing what’s going on.

It’s like the writer has no clue about Obama, except that he hates him.

And apparently, the Muslims have their own world now.

He just got Palin and Obama mixed up. It’s an easy mistake to make.

David Crockett, the most famous one, was the Congressman from my home District. I know for a fact that he never shot wolves from a plane.

The current residents of that area in West Tennessee are more liberal and Democratic than the East Tennessee residents. They do not support needless war. But should Mexico and Texas get into a tiff again, they will be happy to have Neiman-Marcus supply her with the latest in coon-skin caps and suggest a vacation on San Antonio’s Riverwalk.

People who say or write such things as this Canadian are trying to perpetuate ignorance or they themselves are ignorant.

BTW, according to this week’s Gallup Poll, President Obama’s job approval rating this week remains at 50%. It has been within two or three points of that since November and is remaining steady.

I don’t think much of this particular criticism, but I am often surprised (and confused) with the critical attitudes many Americans have towards our northern neighbors. On many social and foreign policy issues I consider them far ahead of the US. I wonder, tho, whether they would reflect the same values if they had the US’s riches?

Ignore him. We know Galgy up here and, by consensus, he’s a troll and a jerk (detop who’s from Quebec).

No, the reason it doesn’t matter is that, based on that article, Howard Galganov is a crank, the Canadian equivalent of Michael Savage or Rush Limbaugh, only one representing a far narrower segment of public opinion in his country. Thus an e-mail over his name offers no grounds to infer “the Canadians” are laughing at us for electing Barack Obama.
