Controversial American documentary filmmaker Michael Moore bemoaned an apparent right turn by liberal northern neighbor Canada in its upcoming general election.
"Oh, Canada -- you're not really going to elect a Conservative majority on Monday, are you? That's a joke, right? I know you have a great sense of humor, ... but this is no longer funny," Moore complained in a commentary on his website.
"First, you have the courage to stand against the war in Iraq -- and then you elect a prime minister who's for it. You declare gay people have equal rights -- and then you elect a man who says they don't," Moore moaned.
Conservatives led by Stephen Harper were ahead of Prime Minister Paul Martin's Liberals by a comfortable 10 to 12 points, polls showed Saturday, two days before Canadians go to the polls.
In "Bowling for Columbine," his documentary on gun violence in the United States, Moore heads north to Canada to flee the rise of conservatism on US soil.
"A man running the nation to the south of you is hoping you can lend him a hand by picking Stephen Harper, because he's a man who shares his world view. Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest?" Moore asked.
"Far be it from me, as an American, to suggest what you should do," he added. "I hope you don't feel this appeal of mine is too intrusive, but I just couldn't sit by, as your friend, and say nothing."
Because like the nazi's he is a master of propaganda.
He can do a good job of selling uneducated folks on lies. He does a great job of putting his insane view of life to film.
Also he is considered a prime mover in democrat circles.
Personally I think he belongs in Chatahoochie state mental institution, Florids mental facility.
I have been following the Canadian election and on political boards up there even the Liberal supporters were telling him to f**k off.
I thought it was a giant floating turd, but you might be right. But then, it would still be a giant floating turd.
Are you saying that Canadas liberals have more smarts then the U.S. liberals?
See I thought liberals were equally stupid everywhere. Guess I'll have to readjust my thinking. Thanks.
Nah, not really, it's just that their anti-Americanism trumps their leftism. ;)
Look at what is happening in Europe. Germany just voted a conservative in. I see signs of a growing conservative trend in Europe.
Make that both of us.
