| United Nations in Toronto? |
| 2003-08-12 |
| Edited for brevity. He brought the Rolling Stones to Toronto And gay marriage to your bedroom! and now he wants to bring the world. Liberal MP Dennis Mills has one last mission if he’s re-elected next year: he wants to convince the United Nations to move its headquarters to his riding in Canada’s largest city. Oh, please please please please! High on his success as the mastermind of last month’s SARS benefit concert featuring the Stones, AC/DC and other rock royalty, Mills said his latest plot isn’t far-fetched. "We are Chretien refused to join a U.S.-led coalition against Iraq this year because it wasn’t UN-sanctioned. O Canada! O Canada! Uh-oh Canada -- looks like I woun’t be taking my wife to British Columbis this year. Your loss. Mills said he has consulted members of the Iranian, Greek, Turkish, Ukrainian, Irish and other Canadian immigrant communities, who say they will lobby the governments of their countries of origin. Buahahaahaha! Heck, maybe it would work.... power to the people! "They all say, ’Push the button and we will start (lobbying) in seconds,’ " he said. Multiculturalism "is going to have a global payoff for us." (once again) Buahahauhahahaaa! A UN spokesman wasn’t so optimistic. About multiculturalism? He said there hasn’t been any serious discussion about moving the organization, which employs some 5,000 staff in the building housing the secretariat, which was built in the early 1950s |

| #5 Canada's too close. How about . . . . . Vanuatu (the island chain that's sinking, and blaming it all on "global warming")? |

| #2 Mills needs to think outside the box (or border). I'm sure there are a great many Americans who will be perfectly willing to help lobby to get the UN moved to Toronto. |

| #1 Yeah right. The UN diplo-boobs all hate America but they will never want to leave New York. BTW, has Al-Doori (spelling?) left New York yet? If dweebs like him don't want to leave, likewise all the rest. |
