We’ve come a long way since the days our main achievement was being the only nation on the planet successful at training Frenchmen * to play hockey.

Heh. Obama is an ‘internationalist’? They must be kidding.
Well, at least Canada is being recognized by some ‘down there’ as more than just ‘Another Cold Front is Coming From Canada’. Admittedly, we’ve now moved out of being naturally bad, and into being socially bad.
Oh well, we Canadians can always Blame The Americans.
Fwenchmen can play hockey?????
Since when?
I call BS.
😉
America’s Barak O’Bama is Canada’s Taliban Jack Layton!
Crypto communists.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have trouble keeping up with the latest leftist obfuscational newspeak? What is “post-national?” It must be different from “internationalist” since people are accused of being both in the same sentence. Is it badder and meaner than being multi-national, or transnational or “globalist”? If a “post-nationalist” comes to the door, should I shoot him and call the cops, or tell him I’m just heading out and to leave a tract? Help. Signed: Only studied English and French in Calgary.
Obama is indeed an “internationalist.” His credentials speak for themselves. What, with a white, liberal Mom, a black Islamic dad and grandad; a Muslim stepdad; and a madrassa education in Indonesia – he’s equipped to solve all the world’s problems.
New hero of Canadian Leftoids, Barak Husein Obama
Even got our Head Lefturd Jack Layton worrying about a leak someone is supposed to have taken against him.
Baiting the HRC? TG
This is too funny! The fellow who wrote the Guardian article is of course a Canadian who seems to have parlayed an interest in comics into a doctoral thesis. No wonder his writing seems like the outline for a comic book.
“Jeet Heer is writing a doctoral thesis on the cultural politics of Little Orphan Annie at York University in Toronto. He is co-editor, with Kent Worcester, of Arguing Comics: Literary Masters on a Popular Medium (University Press of Mississippi, 2004).”
“So Far My Cover Seems Secure”
“Dog Show” is the best euphemism for “Meetings With CIA Handlers” I’ve ever heard. Speaking of which, did you know that National Review founder and “journalist” Bill Buckley was a CIA operative, an agent of Leviathan?
“When in 1951 I was inducted into the CIA as a deep cover agent, the procedures for disguising my affiliation and my work were unsmilingly comprehensive. It was three months before I was formally permitted to inform my wife what the real reason was for going to Mexico City to live. If, a year later, I had been apprehended, dosed with sodium pentothal, and forced to give out the names of everyone I knew in the CIA, I could have come up with exactly one name, that of my immediate boss (E. Howard Hunt, as it happened). In the passage of time one can indulge in idle talk on spook life. In 1980 I found myself seated next to the former president of Mexico at a ski-area restaurant. What, he asked amiably, had I done when I lived in Mexico? “I tried to undermine your regime, Mr. President.” He thought this amusing, and that is all that it was, under the aspect of the heavens.”
National Review, November 1 2005.
Given that the leader of the American conservative movement was for decades an informer, saboteur, and propagandist for the state, the same state he ostensibly opposed, it is unsurprising that America today is so very unconservative.
These days being called an “enemy of humanity” in the Guardian is a mark of honor among Conservatives.
I think it was Dilbert who said it best: You can always tell a good idea by the enemies it makes.

I agree with it. Obama shot himself in the foot. No one else is to blame. Harper overreacted which just shows he’s still a little wet behind the ears.
Playing hockey? How about training them to become anti-Christian pleasure-worshiping spineless, cheese eating surrender monkeys? Thank you, TURDeau! You may now resume to your regularly scheduled turd-world communist dictator worship.
ET…my thought’s exactly!!
Barack…a ‘liberal internationalist’..???!!!
based on what?
Leave it to media to crown their chosen.
Hey! Doesn’t Jeet Heer look like that Calgary guy/gal from Facebook who allegedly sent the threats regarding being exposed by Facebook and the Calgary police?
Found it intriguing that Samantha Power, Obama’s recent, but no longer, foreign policy adviser was described as Ignatieff’s Harvard soulmate in this article –

Let’s face it: modern lefties just have no sense of humour.
A big part of the appeal of folks like Mark Steyn, P.J. O’Rourke and William F. Buckley has not simply been what they say, it’s how they say it.
Since we’re on the topic of the CIA, here’s classic self-deprecating Buckley line:
“It had all the hallmarks of a CIA operation; the bomb killed everyone in the room but the intended target.”
I don’t suppose any of you bother reading the blue letters before you click “post”?
This is not a “chat forum”. Stay on topic, or take it elsewhere.
BLAME CANADA. Does anyone remember the how the ditty goes?
RACHEL MARSDEN now a poster girl for intellectual heavy-weight conservativm?
For Barak Obama, I’d say, with enemies like this who needs friends? – she’s to conservative intellectualism what the fathers at Mount Cashel Boys Home were to Christianity.
Oh, lord, PJ. I still remember his infamous National Lampoon bit from the 70’s – “How to drive fast on drugs while getting your wing-wang squeezed”.
And, of course, his famous recipe from the “Bachelor’s Home Companion” (deleted from current versions, I understand):
“Soup Nagasaki”
(To be prepared at parties you were invited to, and didn’t particularly enjoy.)
1 – Preheat oven to 500 degrees F
2 – Insert two unopened cans of Campbell’s Soup (any flavour)
3 – Leave
20-30 minutes later – Soup Nagasaki!
