It looks like frosty relations between America and the once great white north will continue for quite some time. Canada’s new ambassador to the United States has just played the buffoon card and identified Fox News as public enemy #1. Frank Mckenna is peeved at what he calls the “Fox factor.”
The ambassador claims Fox spreads lies and disinformation about his homeland and his plan is to mail out anti-Fox news letters to the more than one million Canadians living in Florida, Arizona and other warm weather states and urge them to counter the “Fox falsehoods.”
If he thinks a glossy mail-out is the answer to the deteriorating relationship between the two neighbors, it’s likely the ambassador has been getting into some of that soon-to-be-decriminalized B.C. Bud that has become Canada’s number one export.
He’s particularly steamed at the fair and balanced Fox broadcaster, Bill O’Reilly for noting that Canada is not doing its part in the war on terror (it isn’t) and continues to be a haven for terrorists (there are fifty such cells in operation according to the RCMP). This, coming from a member of the government that turned its back on its long time ally regarding Iraq and then cried and stomped its feet like a four year old when informed that only those supporting the liberation of Iraq could get in on the rebuilding contracts.
The relationship has actually been in the toilet since the 1960’s when Trudeau sought to sever ties with Britain and the U.S. and move the country closer to the Soviet Union. Trudeau, an unabashed communist at heart, was best friends with Fidel Castro and made anti-Americanism an official Canadian value.
When Ronald Reagan addressed the Canadian parliament he was booed and heckled by socialist blowhard, Svend Robinson, who has since been convicted of shoplifting a $50,000 diamond engagement ring for his boyfriend. The parliamentarian was cheered across the land for his “principled stand.”
