G&M - Canada Day Edition

Ah, yes... the strained peas & carrots of Canadian journalism...
I've gotta say... I've heard some pretty screwed up definitions of what it is to be Canadian... but truly folks, if we're down to "eating seal meat"... it really is time to start looking at mass emigration to Australia.

I know that David Miller isn’t one to provoke a union if he can at all avoid it, but it would have been nice to see at least a glimmer of citizenship from both the government and the unions.

Surely the one day of the year where we celebrate our nation could have been salvaged? I guess it goes to show you how the unions and the city officials think. We daren't offend the Pride organizers, that would be politically incorrect.

Canadians as a whole, however? Screw 'em.

Interesting survey, beyond the first page most of the questions were rather negatively charged.

I wonder what went wrong here?

"Q:Canada is more united today then it was in my parents' generation.

Agree - 39%
Disagree - 61%"

Enough Negativity ... I'm on a mission to eat some Canada Day seal meat, beaver tail, and bison covered in maple syrup, and perhaps and seek out a wild polar bear ... or at least enjoy the3 festivites and see the fireworks display.

Happy Canada Day Neo!

it'd certainly be amusing to seek out all the hackneyed cliches the globe managed to overlook.

or we could talk about, oh... i don't know... actual values?

nah... too tiring to actually use the ol' braino.

Values are so pre-Trudeau.

Seal meat tastes funny, if you grew up eating it, then it might be appealing, but I think it's a hard-to-acquire taste.

canadian mainstream media... a constant source of silly-ass, politically correct propaganda.

lower your expectations... it works for me.
