No worries. It’s not like anyone down here takes Canadians seriously, anyway ;).

Er, I did a google search on her and she appears to be an elected member of the Canadian government. If that does not make her a “politician” what is she?
Just wondering if the word politician means something different to Canadians or the English than it does to Americans.
Do you think before you post, or does your knee just jerk and press keys?
A Canadian started the thread.
Of the 21 posts to the thread so far, 7 were from known Canadians criticizing their own government, 3 were discussions on the use of the word bastard, 3 were statements from Americans saying no apologies were necessary, 2 were friendly jokes about bombing Canada (taken from the OP), 1 wondering if this was a prevelant attitude across Canada, 1 was something about Kenny from South Park, 1 was your post, 1 was a response to your post, 1 was about Rick Mercer, and only 1 was from an American calling her an asshole.
Yeah, sounds like a lot of thin-skinned people replying to this thread.
Re-read it there Granny - matt was talking about a different incident.
“Bastards” always kill Kenny.
BLAME CANADA!
Well, somebody had to say it. (I’ll just duck and run now)
Canada sucks but so does the American government…so what? No one takes Canadians seriously unless some political puke makes some comment.
BLAME NORTHAMERICANS! Screw Canada. I remember reading an “anti-canada” web page that stated one of the reasons why the Americans don’t want to bomb canada was that the bombs were worth more than the target 
I’m still not sure who she was referring to; the US government, or all Americans? And another thing, you don’t make a private comment during a scrum. There’s cameras and tape recorders everywhere!
Although, I think the “moron” comment about George W. Bush was pretty funny. I know many Americans think the same. I do.
Yup. That would make us the Axel of Evil. 
The feeling isn’t prevalent but as a person who grew up in a UEL (United Empire Loyalist) part of Ontario Canada, some of our forebears felt some AntiAmerican sentiment. (Remember the UEL are the folks who left the American Colonies to settle in British North America/Upper Canada when America was getting rid of the monarchy.) I don’t believe the UEL sentiments are as high as they used to be but my mum was definitely UEL but then again, she was born in the 1920s. (The UEL also had very low tolerance for the francophone half of Canada and very high admiration for the King/Queen.)
You mean Canada has politicians who say stupid things and a whole government and everything?
That’s so cute! Just like a real country!
d&r - real fast

Canada, first among the Axels of Evil. 
Damn! Not only did I miss it but I screwed up the coding. :smack:
Triple Axel of Evil
One must bear in mind that she is a federal Liberal politician, a running dog for the Liberal party whose mandate is to loot the rest of the country and transfer the funds to Quebec in order to pacify the French speaking separatists, so there is a certain “cheese-eating surrender monkey” factor to her political beliefs.
The Devil’s Grandmother
Chretien’s director of communications, Francoise Ducros, resigned last November after referring to Bush as “a moron” for his handling of the Iraq showdown. Since then, both Chretien and John Manley, the Deputy Prime Minister, have warned Liberal MPs to put an end to their anti-American rhetoric.
So no, she wasn’t a politician. Just to keep things clear
When will citizens of other countries learn that America gets to determine what they can and can’t do?
Fret not! Your time will come. This is the first pun I’ve ever been able to get in before someone else beat me to the, well…punch.
At any rate, it’s so nice to finally be upgraded from the Triple Salchow of Malaise.
No need fot the Canadians to apologize. We Americans are bastards and proud of it! Hell, we’ve been kicked out of every respectable country on earth because we’re natural-born bad asses. To quote one of my favorite talking heads, P. J. O’Rourke,
I, for one, would be happy to shake the Honourable (spelling changed to make Canadians happy) Member’s hand and echoing General George Patton, say, “I’ll drink to that as one bastard to another.”
And our Canadian cousins can ignore the tortured whining of humor-impaired liberals like Diogenes the Weenie, who is just embarrassed to death to be an American and feels the need to apologize for the country’s existence in every other post.
If they expect to do well in competition they will have to do a quadruple axel of evil. It is, after all, what the judges expect these days. Unless, of course the french have already made a deal for the Russians to win?
