Ottawa- Prime Minister Paul Martin moved immediately yesterday to begin fixing stubborn trade irritants with a reinvigorated George W. Bush as he warned his MPs behind closed doors to use restraint when passing judgment on Mr. Bush's election victory.

But even as he raised his concerns, one of his more outspoken MPs continued to criticize the U.S. leader, referring to him yesterday as a "war-like" man....Ms. Parrish, who also said that Mr. Bush's re-election demonstrates that Americans are "out of step" with the rest of the world..

Remember Carolyn Parrish, the anti-American MP from Canada ? She's up to her old tricks....

"Americans are "out of step" with the rest of the world"

Yes, and proud of it!

Thank God, someone needs to save it from the likes of you

Everytime I read something like this, it just reinforces why I fled Canada for the U.S. over 4 years ago. Best decision I ever made.

"Americans are "out of step" with the rest of the world"

That's right. The grown-ups are in charge down here.

They can grouse all they want, but if we turn this country around, in a generation we will absorb Canada. I know that sounds outrageous but I think it will happen in the next 50 years.

[Max Combined]

"we will absorb Canada."

Not the French part. Western Cananda maybe.

"Every time I read something like this,it just reinforces why I fled Canada for the US over 4 years ago. Best decision I ever made."

You took the words right out of my mouth. I fled Canada for the US 31 years ago and became a US citizen 20 years ago. Best decisions I ever made. Viva America !

Anyone have her email address? I'd like to send her a note. :)

[Brilliant]

The Canadians don't have much to do lately, I guess.

[somerville]

Yes, I've heard that there is a grass roots movement in Alberta to leave Canada and become part of the US.

[weenie]

...we will absorb Canada.

Cheeeze...I hope not. I was thinking maybe we could give them New England.

I think the next Division ready to go north.

We are sending the Michael Moore Heavy Infantry ...

America is the world leader. It's everyone else that is out of step and heading over a cliff. Isolationism is looking better to me every day.

you guys are making me so jealous. :) I moved here b/c of a Canadian husband and miss the U.S. every day. Especially on days when Caroly Parrish opens her mouth.

[Holicheese]

Well, can we at least annex the strip joints in Montreal?

[CasearianDaoist]

Right. the West and then the Maritimes about a decade later. The perhaps major slices of Ontario. Let them have Quebec and the Ottawa area. It will become a sort of large North American Belgium. Another 50 years after that, who knows? If we could truly implement a sustained Conservative economic agenda we would have sustained
"Tiger" growth rates. Couple that with other factors - renewed leadership in science, greatly enhanced personal freedoms, a true meritocracy, boomimg opportunities, etc. - and you will see a real movement towards the USA form Canuckistan. The Liberal Boomers will not live forever. This decade, in fact, may be their last hurrah.

Caroly = Carolyn

Guess I was in too much of a hurry to post. :)

Someone should ask Mr. Martin about the crew of the MV Birchglen of Canada Steamship Lines, fired from their jobs because they had the audacity to demand to be paid a fair wage.
