Unhappy reaction to the Canadian election:
I think that this is awful, just awful. I am a native of the United States and I always looked up to Canada. How did this man, a conservative, get elected. How? This will change everything! I feel bad for Canada.
Joy Chaney, New Brunswick, NJ
A saner analysis is available from Mark Steyn (whose column, among other attributes, features the first known usage of the phrase right-wing death-beast in connection with any Canadian politician).

the problem was the uneducated majority that stuck itself to the scandal and ranted “lying liberals”
- Hey, Joy Chaney of Moonbat NJ, ask yourself how a conservative got elected president in the USA. Bet you can’t figure it out. Not with the help of your corrupt NJ (remember your Gov. giving freebies at taxpayer expense to his homosexual lover). And who was that Senator who had to resign because he was bribed (or was it a rep, it’s hard to keep track of all the Mafioso doings around New Brunswick.) Hell, I feel sorry for New Jersey, especially with dingbats like you hovering around. By the way, I can understand you’re looking with favor on Canada, considering the stink pot state you live in. (For those who don’t know, a drive along the NJ turnpike still holds the smell of the pig farms that a short time ago surrounded it.)
- Damn. Can’t run off to Canada, there are Conservatives there. Not only that, but they capitalize them so they must be even worse than the ones in the US. New Zealand is kind of pissy about who they let in, and Cuba’s just been done to death so it’s not nearly as chic as it used to be. Besides, they put gays in concentration camps, just like George Bush does. And Gitmo’s there, too… where to go?
Has there been a run of permanent resident applications at Venezuelan embassies and consulates? Better hsutle your little lefty butts to get a good place in line, boys and girls!

I was planning a holiday in Canada this summer (my first outside Europe). My conscience now tells me I shouldn’t, despite living in a country with a conservative ‘New Labour’ pro-Bush government. Oh dear!
Paul Connolly, Coventry, England
More proof that mocking lefties is really a waste of time. At least it’s fun.

Damn left-wing elitists. When they win it’s the “people speaking truth to power”, but when they lose, it’s “how could the people be so dumb?” or “the ignorant, uneducated dolts don’t know what’s good for them!”
What a bunch of spoiled babies.

- Yeah, how dare that uneducated majority vote out the guys who stole millions in taxpayers’ money (AdScam etc.) to further their own political goals and wasted billions more (the gun registry, to name but one boondoggle).
With the number of options for lefties-on-the-move rapidly shrinking, perhaps it’s time to invoke the Israel solution and just give them their own little country somewhere. Anybody know a suitable place?
- Drawing a bit of an o/t bow here, but while on the subject of lefties denying reality, the SMH ran a very indulgent letter (which they must have loved – it was far too lengthy, closer to 300 words than the prescribed 200) from Scott Poynting on Wednesday. He was extemporising on the theme of whipping up panic about ethnic gangs. According to Scott this sort of thing is just a beat up. At one point he says:
“The criminal gang does not have to be directly linked to the serious crime; very remote linkages have been known to work in the case of a crime wave.”
So there you have it. It’s not really happening. There are no videos. Nothing to see here. Just a politico-media beat up.
As the Liberals warned Canadians – or, rather, shrieked at them – Stephen Harper will take away “a woman’s right to choose”! The unwanted boys you’ll be forced to have will grow up to be Bush cannon fodder in Iraq, and the unwanted girls will be sold as white slaves for Halliburton corporate cocktail parties round the pool at Dick Cheney’s ranch.
Well I’ll be damned. Steyn is stealing our shtick.

How about North Korea? It seems ideal:
–Years of innovative population control measures mean that there is plenty of room for the newcomers.
-It’s isolated from the all-consuming taint of Amerikkkan kkkukture, as shown by all that cute socialist realist art.
-It has a humane, efficient, centrally-planned economy.
-It is one of the last places on earth to preserve true Marxism against the scourge of Amerikkkan Imperialism.
All in all, I think that the sooner all our lefties move to North Korea, the better.
As for where the brainless leftwing Canadian moonbats will retreat to now that Chimpy McMapleLeafBurton is the Prime Minister, I think it should be obvious: Greenland!
Aah, but Greenland is Danish territory, and Denmark is part of Pol Pot W. HitlerStalin’s terrorist war for oil.

- For those who don’t know Don Cherry, he’s a pugnacious hockey analyst for Hockey Night in Canada, a former coach and player. Kind of like Canada’s Howard Cosell, but likable. Here’s some stuff about him from the CBC website:
Iraq: Cherry is a proud Canadian and friend of the United States. This fierce national love affair has made him a patriotic symbol to his legion of fans, but has also landed him in hot water. One such occasion came on March 22, 2003, during a controversial instalment of Coach’s Corner. Hockey talk was brushed aside in favour of world affairs—more specifically, a heated debate over the U.S.-led war with Iraq. Cherry began by criticizing Montreal fans for booing the American national anthem before a game earlier in the week. The conversation quickly turned to the war when Ron MacLean said “everybody wants to know what you think.” The Coach, wearing a sparkling U.S.-flag-inspired tie, berated MacLean about being neutral on the war, then slammed the Canadian government for not supporting the U.S. in the war. The exchange sparked strong sentiments from both supporters and detractors. CBC Television called the discussion “uninformed and irrelevant,” and the duo were asked to stick to hockey.
Left-wing pinkos: Cherry is particularly sour on those people he feels are trying to take the toughness out of hockey. Every season he rails against whiny “left-wing pinkos” and the preachy “politically correct” for, among other things, trying to take fighting out of the game, forcing players to wear visors, and censoring his notorious rants. Cherry says he speaks for the “average Joes” who work in factories and farms and relax in taverns. He says his constituency is the “working guy.” Coincidentally, the real left-wing pinkos also say they speak for the working guy.
- Holy cow, what will the sensitive lefties do when they notice that the brave and progressive countries in this hemisphere generally don’t have any Starbucks or two-ply tp. Those darn right wing fascists, with their hambugers and 800 cable stations have overrun all that is decent. Dare we say that Gramici might have been wrong.Posted by Pat Patterson on 2006 01 26 at 02:26 AM • permalink
- #24 & 26:
Puts me in mind of a trip I made to Canada many years ago. I liked most of the Canadians I met, except for two: one, a sixtiesh geezer who ran a parking lot, unaccountably assumed that I’d be fascinated by his animadversions on Lyndon Johnson, then dead some five years; the other was a camp-ground manager somewhere in Ontario (can’t remember the exact place). This latter fellow was a warm admirer of Castro. Well, another camper – from Alberta, as it happens – sidled up and absolutely lit into the guy, charging him with gross ignorance of communism in general, and of Castro, in particular. We in the states sometimes forget, or are simply unaware, that western Canada, to put it mildly, is not exactly a hotbed of feverish leftism.
- Alright, before someone goes off the deep end, lets reminds ourselves that he’s a Canadian Conservative.
That means Harper is only 57% of a Real Conservative. That is if I’ve calculated the exchange rate properly.
Let’s see, multiply, carry the naught, Yep!

- As an American, I am very concerned about the Canada electing a Conservative minority government. Does this mean that the vast hordes of American leftists, progressives and liberals who moved to Canada to escape the repressive Bush regime will now be thrown out? Do we have to take them back in? Can we send them to Venezuela or Bolivia or someplace like that?
- I think they should go somewhere where they’ll be welcomed. Zimbabwe or the University of Massachusetts at Amherst spring to mind. The living quarters are a bit better in Amherst, but they’ll have to put up with a few, whining non-Lefties. On the other hand, I expect Zimbabwe to be vewy, vewy quiet vewy, vewy soon.Posted by JorgXMcKie on 2006 01 27 at 11:31 AM • permalink
