Canadian breaking news and politics and hats and general sexiness

imperfect_cupcake · 08-31-2011, 12:29 AM

Ltd et al feel free to completely ignore my post like it has nothing to do with this at all ....

here I'll put it in a nutshell to re-dress: large powerful imperialist-esque nations will be very self-gazing. the states isn't the only one. even though scotland and wales and ireland are all next door, people in england know relatively nothing about them. for example all they know about the welsh is "their language is funny hahaha" and "sheep shaggers hahaha" etc.

It's fucking annoying. But it will never, ever change. not ever. why? because they don't have to. And LTD I don't think of it like an annoying little brother, I think about it like a mentally challenged older cousin who keeps punching you (with things like their unilateral foreign policy, their bullying tactics with NAFTA, their religious right sending money into canada to try and undo our constitution, just to name 3 out of thousands of toe crushing/rib bruising/wrist twisting encouragements made on us - not to mention many other countries) but you have to be nice about it because they'll never "get it" and plus if you piss them off, they'll break your arm.

The relationship used to be called the lion and the mouse, when I was a kid. And Mulrooney, used to be accused of trying to shove the mouse up the elephants ass, which no one liked. However, the one thing people do like in a priminister, is when they have the guts to tell the US to fuck off - like during the NAFTA negotiations when they wanted us to flood our desert in BC to hold water for them. LMAO.

It's a very, very strained relationship. Just like every other country who lives next to a large and very powerful nation. But it won't change. There will always be stupid questions, they will think we're smug when they actually notice us. forever and ever, amen.

I'm pretty sure I interacted with you? I could be misremembering, though. Possibly I just blah blah blahed about Rick Mercer or something.

11th Human Foot Since 2007 Found On The Shore In BC

(I'm not going to lie. Because I am a terrible person I laughed hysterically when I read the part about how a couple of "fake" feet have also been found. And then I was sad that I didn't think of it first.)

PS - don't forget to lock your door, I can hear that bodyless foot walking up your pathway.

I don't imagine it'll have any trouble hoping up the three flights of stairs to my apartment, either.

But it will be defeated by my doorknob! Unless it brings thing with it:

Well now I -really- hope it brought Thing with it because somebody needs to clean the coffee off of my monitor now.

Yeah, your mention of the Prime Minister Jean Poutine thing made me watch Talking To Americans again. I had to.

Congratulations Canada, on allowing the Irish the right to vote!
