Canada: axis of evil (2)

Following our article "Canada: axis of evil", published on September 27, we have received several comments from United States, United Kingdom and Canada.

England (The Telegraph):

I like Canada. It's like America, but with class.

That's unfair. If you go to New England, you,ll find plenty of "class" and culture.Canadians tend to dress down when going out somewhere special.Not my idea of class.

Brendano 28 Sep 2007 17:10
Very good block... and a refreshing change from the usual hardline Republican stuff that appears on this site.Regarding the 'third option' - isn't there a danger of taking votes from the Democrats and ending up with another Republican president? (I realize you're speaking in a broader sense than presidential elections alone.)

David 28 Sep 2007 17:23
There are more adults.......... in Canada than America but they do have appalling dress sense.

James Wolfe 28 Sep 2007 18:07
Rubbish. Canadians do not have appalling dress sense.They do not have any dress sense.

David 28 Sep 2007 18:11
I beg your pardon. You so right. However, they are the most laid back people in the world.

pigswill 28 Sep 2007 18:25
An excellent blog. Now can you give us your views on our Labour MPs?

James Wolfe 28 Sep 2007 18:45
David. They are laid back because most of them are on something. I'm watching a deal going down now, just across the road, and both parties are on welfare!(Sorry, Liaison, not hi-jacking you - I'll get to the point in a moment).The majority of Canadians seem to want cannabis legalised. I once would have thrown my hands up at the idea, but I now support it: The price will come down, the tax revenue will be equivalent to the GDP of Belgium and the 5000 wasters growing it at home in this valley of 100,000 will all have to get a job.However, when it is legalised, the US will go ballistic and then all 100 senators will form a queue to have a bloody great fence built from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver Island. Should be fun!

Groan. Drivel, drivel, and more drivel. I'm not thrilled with the US government either but I don't go off writing self-loving blogs.

pigswill 29 Sep 2007 17:22
Chris in Cal. Where did the self-loving blog come in? Well as long as you are not thrilled with the US government, that will do for now I suppose. Just in passing, I detest the UK government

Ben Moss 29 Sep 2007 17:48
I don't have too strong An opinion of the U.S Government (They are not mine, and I don't know them well enough for sure).I wonder at you seeing "the whole world laughing at the U.S" Really?You may well be right. But I'd rather have yours than ours though any day. At least yours give a shit for the country they represent.

Canada (Globe & Mail):

* You (A Better Canada, from No-Quebec, Canada) wrote: Canada: axis of evil. All Canadians should visit: the-liaison.blogspot.comand see the stupidity, ignorance, arrogance of the American politicians.Please, tell poodle 2 and naive Peter to read it too....if they ever understand something.

* evelyn robinson from Canada writes: 20 million illegal immigrants mainly through the Mexico border is why the USA needs more border guards there.Worry more about those who are allowed legally into the USA on visas as were those who made the attack on the world trade building.Worry about mentally damaged military personnel coming back from these invasion of the USA; will another Timothy MVeigh be amongst them.Quit pointing towards Canada as your big problem.Stop the dictatorial aggression against other countries and there will be less interest in new recruits joining terrorist/ freedom fighter groups.Rebuild the UN and pay your dues; an international organization has more credibility and less chance of decisions to be regarded as racist or controlling for American interests.

Thanks Percy. What can be done to clean Washington? Several options are avaiable. We can not rely upon the spineless Democrats, but a few. We should force our Senators and Congress members to stop insulting and boycotting the whole world.We could encourage politicians and media people to boycott the White House. They are just laughing at us, and insulting our intelligence.We could organize groups to walk and sit in front of the White House, Pentagon, Capitol Hill, etc, and show the real world that Americans are not behind the irresponsible politicians who, unfortunately, represent us.We should make sure that a great majority of Senators and members of Congress are not re-elected.We should make sure that they understand that they are working for us, and they are supposed to work in the interest of the many, not the few.We could boycott all lobbyists in Washington.So many things can be done, but so few volunteers....till we get to the point of a revolution, if nothing is seriously done, in the very near future.We can not take it, anymore, should be the voice and rally of Real Americans, as we used to be, as the World has known us...before.You surely understand the importance of not revealing the name...for the time being. Are we still in a free country? Read Gary "How Free are We?"

Thanks. There are a majority like us, unfortunately, they are silent. For the real world, a silence is an acquiescence, and this is how we are judged, now, and how our own children will judge us, later. Sixty-five years ago, we were asking: "how is it possible that Germans do not do anything?"

*Thank you for your very astute comments. So far I have found very few people who are willing to say anything negative about Israel. Forget about all the hand-wringing and guilt over the holocaust, what has Israel done since then? They have occupied lands that do Not belong to them, used a helicopter gunship to blow away a family enjoying a day at the beach, started a preemptive war with Lebanon, bombed Iran, the list goes on. and I haven't even gotten to all the politicians in the U.S. that they have bought and paid for. Check that out on the link below if you think I am wrong.

The U.S. has lost so much of its standing in the world thanks to GW and our blind support for all things Israeli that it's no wonder we can't get anywhere with treaty negotiations or at the U.N.
Real debate is what makes life worth living.

* Senate is badly in need of more grownups . Elect more Democrats!
Oh, and someday, with global warming, the Canadians will be the ones who want to erect a fence on our border. Oklahoma Voter

* Thank You, Also
You have said much that needs to be said, somewhere, hopefully, here. One point I have to disagree. You wrote: "Of course, to dissimulate our incompetence, we blame others. Senator Clinton blamed Canada for the entrance of the 19 hijackers in 9/11. It was easier to impress Americans, while ignoring that the terrorists, sponsored by our friends in Saudi Arabia, were in Florida for months before. We blame Iran for our fiasco in Iraq. We blame Chavez for a series of left-leaning governments in Latin America, although they were elected by a majority (with all the votes counted as it should be in a real democracy). We blame Palestine for the problem in Lebanon. We blame North Korea for exporting nuclear weapon expertise, but we forget to blame Pakistan. We blame Syria for anything else."
But, joining the "Blame Game" for a minute, the real culprit, I believe, is the Propaganda machine in Madison Avenue, a propaganda machine that would make Joseph Goebbels proud. But, instead of blaming the messanger, our focus on any problem ends, like in totally removed from memory, when blame is assigned. We bother more in blaming Pres. Bush and his Hairless One than in helping Katrina victims. We blame Pres. Bush for not helping repair the bridge than in asking for help for the victims and the bridge.
It is a pattern we follow very often, why? Could it be because we are conditioned by The Master Propaganda Machine that is salivating for the Two Billions they will take to dictate who should be our next president? Don't believe it? Look at all Swift Boats did with a few million? Imagine, what they will do with Billions?
Antidote: Think and ignore Sound Bytes. Ignore accusations, they are all probably false, focus on the facts and make your conclusions. Our Master manipulators use emotions like fear, sample Sound Byte: "if we don't fight them there, we'll have to fight them here!"
Those that want to guide our thinking will dominate us, like the dog trained by Dr. Pavlov. Note, while we still can think independently, if they train us to respond to bells, whistles or sound bytes, our humanity is at risk. Many of our worst enemies are trained like that.

* What should we do? I do agree with you, Mike Star. Blame game was the motto of the White House to justify their incompetence at Katrina. The blame game is still their motto to justify their fiasco in foreign policy. First, we must recognize the problem. Now, we know the problem is not only at the White House but also at the Congress, at the Senate, and with Democrats who have no stomack, no courage, to stand up, and fight for the many.Goebbels will not be proud,he would be jealous. Again, what should we do? We are not in a democracy anymore. We are at the mercy of billions in the advertising and lobbying machines.Do we need a revolution, or a third option, or both? Do not forget that we still have a 50% gullible people, and 30% who are glued to each party, whatever the stupidity each of them promote.
