Star Spangled Canada
Just so we're clear on this, we all know who George Bush and the Republicans are rooting for, right?
In case you needed a little reminder, an American news outlet has been happy to oblige.
"Why does President Bush hope Christmas comes a little late this year? Because on Jan. 23, Canada may elect the most pro-American leader in the Western world. Free-market economist Stephen Harper, leader of the opposition Conservative Party, is pro-free trade, pro-Iraq war, anti-Kyoto, and socially conservative. Move over Tony Blair: If elected, Mr. Harper will quickly become Mr. Bush's new best friend internationally and the poster boy for his ideal foreign leader."
Why thank you. It's nice to have an outside observer - and a right-wing one at that! - remind us that the Conservative Party wants Canada to bow down and kiss American boot.
Now I know I'm going to be accused of fearmongering by some Anonymous poster in my comments section - the irony of having a hidden name while denying a hidden agenda is not lost on me (nor is the fact that I probably just misused the word irony) - but these are serious issues that Harper very much seems to want to avoid. I wonder why?

Washington Times is a hard, hard-right publication run by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon.
Regardless of who owns it, an endorsement from Bush should do *wonders* for Harpoon's campaign.
I think Peter Rempel needs to stop surfing and get back to the Krusty Burger or the manager will get mad.
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!
Rempel got P0wnz0red!!!!!!!
You're not paranoid if they're really out to get you. Wow! I mean, pasting Bush and Harper in the same sentence so early in the election.
Sounds desperate to me.
Of course any government wants other governments they can get along with. Does this mean that the Americans are invading? Well, let's ask the fine employees at Walmart or the good folks at MacDonalds.
I think the CBC has stunted your thought process.
"5.) When are you going to stop writing garbage on this blog?"
There's the question truly on everyone's mind. This self proclaimed "political junky" sure doesn't know much about Canadian politics past using blatant lies as scare tactics.
I guess that would actually make him a wonderful Liberal candidate for Ontario. Keep up the good work, "blue grit".
Good post! You know you are right when the trolls hyperventilate!
But you are right, you know. Liberals and progressives WILL all be into "fear-mongering" very soon. There is indeed much to be afraid of. It would be ironic, don't you think, for Canadians to embark on a Neo-con agenda at the same time that Americans are waking up to the horrors of such an agenda.
