"Serious Looting" Underway in Ottawa, Canada

Fox News ^ | August 14, 2003

[Shermy]

Subscript only at Fox.

I usually don't post such, but this one was to good to pass up, IMO. Plus Chretien thrice-changed explanation for the blackout.

[PRND21]

USA USA USA!

[Paul Atreides]

Yeah, but they have diversity. So there! /sarcasm

[mhking]

Nothing on CBC Newsworld presently; Peter Mansbridge on live from the rooftop in Toronto.

[martin_fierro]

O tempora!
O mores!
O Canada!

[chance33_98]

We can outloot em anyday.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Serious Looting"

Well, at least it wasn't the "Goofy, Slap-stick Looting" I've heard so much about...

[RandallFlagg]

Am I going to be the first one to mention gun control?

[MattAMiller]

We should have sent more troops. This is all Bush's fault.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

ROTFL

[Shmokey]

Gun control means using both hands.

[Shermy]

[Beck_isright]

Serious Looting??? You mean they're stealing all the biscuits?? Oh no, the tribulation!!!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Makes me proud - sniff (sorry. Teared up a bit there) - to have canadian blood... :0)

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

and free health care

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Oh those wacky, rascally, canucks. (Probably just trying to avoid the sales tax).

[Alberta's Child]

There's no reason to gloat about this. NBC is reporting on several looting incidents in New York City.

Make no mistake, folks. Any @sshole who elects Hillary Clinton to the U.S. Senate won't think twice about breaking into your electronics store.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

The whole "Mohawk" connection must have you bursting with pride. : ) (BTW: Never, in a million years, would "Goofy, Slap-Stick Looting" cross my mind...and that's what makes you so special, Chad. LOL)

[harpseal]

Am I going to be the first one to mention gun control? You won.

[I still care]

But they are so morally superior to us ignorant American types!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Oh yes... Just my honorable ancestors sticking it to the white man one more time bwaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaaa

[glock rocks]

that made me laugh out loud.

my dogs were already looking at me funny. spooky.

[RandallFlagg]

Am I going to be the first one to mention gun control?

You won.

Woo-Hoo!! Unfortunately, in my rush I should have typed, "CANADIAN gun control"

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

LOL - OMG (Hey, is this impacting New Hampshire, by the way? I've had the TV off all day.)

[dfwgator]

Just as long as they stay away from Tim Horton's.

[B Knotts]

There haven't been any reports of looting in Michigan, have there?

I suspect there won't be much there, thanks to the new CCW law.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

No...no...it's not the sales tax (Washington lingo) it's the G.S.T. tax that's on every damn thing there. When we visit we always get a portion of it back as non-residents when we cross the border (poor sucker Canadians, taxing the hell out of themselves only). My wife named the G.S.T. the Great Stupid Tax -- and even said that to the Canadian clerk as she was giving us our rebate one time. Lady about busted her gut laughing so hard.

[B Knotts]

LOL

That was probably what they hit first!

[Chad Fairbanks]

I don't know - but if I remember, they used Quebec Hydro or something

[harpseal]

Hey the story was about Canada and gun control is evil wherever it is.

Yeah, but no Noo Yawkeh ever indulged him- or herself in pretensions of moral superiority.

And no, Hillary doesn't count because she's not a Noo Yawkeh.

[Mulder]

Wanna bet that the slaves are sorry they gave up their guns?

[Russell Scott]

Another chance for socialist to get the capitalistic pigs.

[chance33_98]

[Dan from Michigan]

But But But....I thought they were SO much more civilized than us barbarians.

[joesnuffy]

Atheists Socialists now have to lie in the beds theyve made along with their sodomites and terrorists theyve given sancturary to..
To disarm their people...so that in moments like these they are helpless against thieves murderers rapists and thugs is dispicable
Hopefully when this is over they might see the error of their ways and end their idiotic ban on self defense...
Hopefully we will as well....end the idiot AW ban...
Instead this will probably only give wings to more power to Homie land security and not the personal liberty to defend ones own loved ones and posessions

[shadowman99]

There wasn't any looting in Canada before the US removed Saddam from power.

[DCBryan1]

But But But....I thought they were SO much more civilized than us barbarians.

LOL, thats exactly what I was thinking. Funny that we knuckle dragging, open mouth-breathing neandertals aren't in predatory mode against our fellow citizens like they are in "O Canada".

I hope Quebec stays dark....oh wait, it has always been in the dark.

[dfwgator]

This just in ... the first pictures from the rioting in Canada:

[GladesGuru]

Maybe not by birth, but the HillaBeast absolutely is a Big Shi**y native 'in spiritus'.

[Timesink]

Subscription only Fox? Or do you mean the ticker/crawl?

[PLMerite]

You sure it's looting and not just a big hockey game?

[hole_n_one]

Ottawa Police chief in telephone interview on MSNBC, now.....

Concentrated pockets of window breaking and looting throughout city.

[Shermy]

not crawl. Just sub-script. Or non-crawling print. Or...jeez, I don't know what they call it!

[Timesink]

Ohh, you mean static on-screen text? "Chyron." Named after the first computerized machine that could do it.

[Thor_Hammar]

Wasn't the HillaryBeast born in Chicago? That might explain her lack of social grace.

[DaGman]

What? Ottawa won a championship?

[Lessismore]

Get the Molson, eh!

[Shermy]

Canadian Defense spokesman on now. Says hard to pinpoint the black out source, and there are "snowball effects" to consider. Might take a few days to solve.

Sounds reasonable. So why is Chretien in such a tizzy? Perhaps his family connections to Hydro Quebec and other energy companies part of the problem, and he's fronting for them? Chretien's energy connections make the Bush family's look like small potatoes.
