US to arbitrarily rape Canada to the tune of $250 million

[Drake Tungsten]

Which brings us back to my original point. Why are Canadian leaders such pussies?

[KrazyHorse]

If the current US gov't wasn't filled with idiots who can't see three feet in front of their noses then perhaps they would have noticed that opinion polls in Canada were running something like 80% against BMD and that our government was fairly obviously ducking your phone calls about it...

Better pussies than complete idiots like the ones you have

[Drake Tungsten]

Indeed. Recent news is just confirming how clever Chretien and Martin both are...

[KrazyHorse]

Chretien was quite possibly the smartest politician in the Western world in the past decade...

[Drake Tungsten]

He can't be that clever; he couldn't even slip a paltry $250 million to his cronies without screwing it up. Halliburton probably makes that much every month...

[KrazyHorse]

One tenth the size, remember.

250 million in kickbacks is a hell of a sum in politics up here. Our elections come a lot cheaper than yours do, even on a per capita basis.

I don't know how one would judge Chretien's political skill, anyway. It's not like he ever had to run against competent opposition.

[KrazyHorse]

The fact that he never got caught in anything he couldn't talk his way out of in a decade of majority governments speaks very highly of his skill. This despite the fact that there were a number of sticky situations during his tenure...

A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven

So he was Bill Clinton without the power and influence. You're going to have to do better than that if you want me to buy that Chretien was the "smartest politician in the Western world in the last decade"...

[KrazyHorse]

Bill Clinton didn't get caught?



Plus Clinton wasn't half as dirty as the Liberals are...

[KrazyHorse]

Bill Clinton had to go on national TV and apologise for lying and ****ing around on his wife. He couldn't even have an extramarital affair without being raked over the coals. That's sad...

[KrazyHorse]

You could make a case for Reagan, though.

The only thing he arguably got "caught" for was lying about a blowjob. Forgive me if I don't consider that a victory for his opposition.

I don't know about that. The Marc Rich pardon was pretty sleazy. Then again, I (like any American) have no interest in Canada, so I have no idea how dirty the Liberals are.
