I’m not going to argue about that. 🙂 You are, however, getting a little too close to the truth, **Boyo Jim.** We may have to…intervene.

Hey, you can have this guy now - [Dustin Paxton.](http://winnipeg.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20101104/wpg_lafortune_101104/20101104/?hub=WinnipegHome) You’ll be getting him sooner or later. Search on pictures of one of his torture victims, Dustin Lafortune, if you need more evidence.

What makes you think he wasn’t from Hell in the first place?

I’m glad, and proud that they’ve let me become immigrate and contribute to the bloodthirsty Canadian community. I owe it all to me mum, a bloodthirsty Aussie.\*

\*Actually, this part is true. Even now, two generations later, if we’re out in some godforsaken wilderness area **Attacklad** will peer around and state in his best imitation of **Attackmum’s** still-thick Australian accent: “This would be a lovely spot for a muuu-duuur”.

And wasn’t there another guy in Sudbury who heard about this, thought, “What a good idea!”, and tried to do it as well?

Yeah, we’re polite.

On the surface.

But don’t go to war against us.

I’m sorry but the original memo notes that Cherry is still not allowed down here. The damned arrive in Hell fully dressed, and the Boss simply can’t abide the thought of any of those suits ever having been here at all.

You wouldn’t take Canadians before so to hell with you. Had your chance, to bad. Do not pass go, etc, etc.

Ezra Levant. He can spend eternity in the boot-licking department of the Ann Coulter Wing of hell. He won’t notice any difference, and the corporal plane will be a better place without him.

OOoh, good one, **Tooth**. My husband was familiar with Ezra from university, and he practically spits every time that guy’s name comes up. He can take Rob Anders with him, too.

I didn’t know the guy, but I was at the U of A at the same time he was so I had the privilege of reading his _Gateway_ columns.

I’d also like to add every editor of every Sun newspaper across the country. I’d add Conrad Black to the list as well, but he’s not a Canadian anymore; that must be close to being in hell already.

It was not my decision. You may argue with Lucifer yourself if you wish but I would not advise it.

He and I get along quite well actually, we don’t so much argue as exchange ideas.
