#1 It's never going to reach the heights of animosity toward France in the run-up to the Iraq war.

Wrong. Kanuckistan is changing and becoming France's closest ally. If the next terrorist gets into the U. S. from Kanuckistan, a regiment of Sergeant Prestons won't be able to help.

#2 "There are always going to be occasions when it pops up. But Canada is never going to occupy an extraordinary amount of American thought," said Waldman.

This assumes that things are static and couldn't possibly get more intense or widespread. Pretty naive of him.

BTW, does MMFA track America-bashing and find it to be "disturbing" as well?

Probably only in the sense that we need to change to suit the world.

#3 You hit the nail on the head WT. Media Matters is funded by George Soros and Peter Lewis (Progressive Insurance), the dynamic duo behind America Coming Together and MoveOn. MM is run by the disgraced David Brock.

#4 It's not our Retarded Cousin.
It's our younger brother who we're worried about because he's hanging around the wrong sort of people and going to art films.

#6 LOL, OCSpemble! Art films, indeed. Qanadian politics... Felliniesque, throw in a little Dali, some Kafka, Satre, Ibsen, a touch of Nietzsche nihilism, and a large dollop of French superior culture babble, and top it off with Maurice Strong's Power Corp - aka Tranzi Scam Scum International and voilÃ ! Purrfekt fit.

#7 Canada is not a monolith, but the "intellegencia" of Ontario and the French Seperatists in Quebec is all we hear about in the MSM. The former acts like the Democrats in the Senate, and the latter is a wannabe in the mold of their big brothers across the Atlantic.

My gut is that there are plenty of folks in the Western part of Canada and in the Maratimes who are a little worried about the blindness of the threat by the mainstream of the Canadian Liberal Party, and the Quebecers acting like the Frenchmen that they are, or as Oil can put it so well:

#8 "What other question can be asked when the Canadian government not only willingly allows Islamic terrorists into their country but does nothing to stop them from entering our nation?"

What do you mean? Khadr entered your nation because you've asked us to extradite him.

My gut is that there are plenty of folks in the Western part of Canada and in the Maratimes who are a little worried about the blindness of the threat by the mainstream of the Canadian Liberal Party

You do know that B.C. has a Liberal provincial government? And both Saskatchewan and Manitoba have NDP governments. I think by "the Western part of Canada" you meant Alberta. Don't forget that Canada has three major political parties.

#10 Last week, MSNBC host Tucker Carlson, a well-known conservative pundit, let loose with a string of anti-Canada rants.

Who the hell is Tucker Carlson?

#11 He's that really well-known - oh, you saw it in the article. Nevermind. Heh.

#12 If I had to cut a deal with the Feds and had a choice of The Witness Protection Program or MSNBC, I'd pick MSNBC.

#13 Tucker Carlson used to face off against Bill Press, Paul Begala, et al at CNN. Now that he and Bob Novak jumped ship, I think Lou Dobbs is the only one left to hold the conservative fort at CNN.

#14 MSNBC? Isn't that the next generation of MS Windows XP? Is it a video game for the Xbox 360?

#15 I guess Soros got tired of trying to buy US elections, so he moved his team up north.
