Better get ready to rename them, too:

Toronto — Washington delivered a stern message to Canada on Tuesday, saying Americans feel disappointed and betrayed by the Canadian decision to stay out of the war in Iraq.

At a breakfast speech to the Economic Club of Canada, Paul Cellucci, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, said "there is a lot of disappointment in Washington and a lot of people are upset" about Canada's refusal to join the United States in its efforts to depose Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Story here.

We do?


I was just about to ask that too. We do? I haven't even thought about Canada for like...weeks before now... :P
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

The Canadians issued a formal response: "Aww, take off, hoser!!"

Did we really have to rename French Fries? Couldn't we just have said that they were aptly named: greasy little fried things that we can eat for lunch?:P



A girl I know in Atlanta calls them, "Little sticks of fat" :D

And I was not trying to dis the French either. I only know a few people from France and thought they were all pretty cool. I don't know enough about France to want to needlessly insult them.

Of course if any of you want to educate me on the evils of France I can do a rant on them.

From linked article:
"Palau (pop 20,000; North Pacific) is one of six unarmed nations in the coalition, along with Costa Rica, Iceland, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and the Solomon Islands. Then there's Afghanistan."

Apparently Moroccan primates are not only still favored but may become eligible for some Congressional or Presidential accomodations (unless PETA gets involved):

"According to the wire service, Morocco's weekly al Usbu' al-Siyassi claimed that Morocco has offered 2,000 monkeys to help detonate land mines.

An official at the Moroccan Embassy could not confirm the presence of monkeys in the coalition of the willing."

...and without benefit from the story...

'mericans disappointed in Canadians, eh?

Methinks (emphasis on "me") more than a few Canadian politicians were swayed against joining by the way "the USA" (read: Military & Government, not the American people) treated us after the Friendly Fire incident in Afghanistan.

Remember, "we're half French". :P:P:P and our Prime Minister doesn't speak EITHER official language

(BTW: I also wholeheartedly disagree with the French position to use the Veto no matter what. I think that played a huge role in this war erupting when it did).

Count me in as a Canadian that is furious with our government's refusal to stand with the USA and commit some of our meager resources.
The state of our military is a disgrace....not due to the soldiers as we have good ones, but due to the ruling Liberal Party's gutting of military budgets year after year after year.
Jean Chretien has made me ashamed to be a Canadian by his gutless fencesitting, equivocation and refusal to stand with our neighbour.

Canada USED to have a military.
Back in 1945 Canada had the third largest navy in the world.
However, ever since then defence spending cutbacks have gutted the Canadian Armed Forces.
A small cadre of Canadian soldiers try to be professionals, but even that is tough in the face of gov't indifference.
The main reason that Canada is not participating in the latest War on Iraq is that the Canadian Armed Forces are too small and too tired from all the peace-keeping missions.

Count me as a Canadian who's proud to hear a disenting voice in a crowd of NewSpeak.

Dude, I bet though you would gladly split a case of Victory Beer with me. I'm not awfully hot on Victory Gin unless in a dirty Victory Martini. I commit FaceCrimes when I drink Victory Gin straight. Don't want to wind up in room 101 you know!
