For more information about Canada, I suggest watching MST3K Season 9 episode 10, "The Final Sacrifice." Also, I love Degrassi.

Now how about allowing us Americans to immigrate easily or at least live more than 6 months a year in your no-longer Socialist paradise? I'll take either a crappy houseboat in Vancouver or a shitty cabin on Vancouver Island.

Thank you in advance.

I'm a N.E. native. In the '60s, when God told the Pope that it was OK to stop saying the mass in Latin, our parish priests switched ... to French.

(DOH! I must have said the wrong word, the vicious wonkmonster admin ate my comment.)

So you're saying conservatardism is communicable?! Probably carried on the wind by KFC double-down farts or fizzy corn-sugar-juice belches.

But the good news, is it necessarily terminal! Remember, the Brits once came down with a horrible case of Thatcherism. They got better (mostly) ... right?

THERE IS HOPE

it's bout damn time the people's of my mother got some damned attention.

also this harper blight parallels my own family story: my mother grew up in a socialist household in montreal but moved to 'murica and became a WSJ quoting wingtard who reads dinesh d'souza*.

(* this is true. and at easter - in celebration of our lord's resurrection - we stole the dinesh and threw him in a socialist public waste bin.).

Welcome, hosers, to the collective misery. Gone are the days of daydreaming about defecting to/claiming asylum in Canada (unless you're those Quaids or something, yes?). Time to look for other possible locales...Burma/Myanmar, perhaps?
