Hey Canada, what’s up? Oh, you like that Barack Obama? Yeah, it figures, being as you’re kind of quasi-Europeans. Except for Alberta, we guess. And probably the “Northwest Territories,” where the Snow King lives. Oh, you really like Barack Obama? You want him to be president of your own … uh, whatever it is, commonwealth or something? Looks like you people love Our Barry more than any of your own lame leaders. And it looks like you don’t love John McCain at all, with just 3% of you naming Ol’ Walnuts as the politician you admire. [CTV.CA]
Get used to the taste, WALNUTS!
Dope smokers supporting dope smokers. That’s what politics is all about.
*cries with joy.
…the ground work for the annexation of Canada’s vast bacon and maple syrup reserves have been laid! Muhahahahahahahaha!!!
Ya, but they didn’t have Celine Dion in the poll, eh?
I wouldn’t read too much into this. Barack is only ahead because he’s been able to win the Black Canadian vote.
Give Nevada the credit it deserves dammit!
That’s the White King, and its damn sexy.
I never thought I’d live to see the day when foreigners admired a US leaders more than their own politicians.
For my entire life, the name of the US President has been little more than a curseword in the rest of the world. This makes me weepy. I mean, who can remember the last time when America was actually liked by other countries? I guess you’d have to go back to JFK?
If only Hillary had ordered Canadian Mist instead of Crown Royal, perhaps she’d do better than 16%.
Barry Obama: Fine Hawaiian Nubian Prince of the Northern Wastes
Canadians love mulattoes.
What’s the exchange rate on hope?
Typical. Support the black man, as long as he lives in someone else’s neighborhood. That’s not racial transcendence, Canadia!
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR BARRY CANADA WE WANT NOOBAMA HERE SO TAKE YOUR BARRY AND SHOVE IT IN YOUR MOUNTIE’D ASS.
Hemroids for Hillary ‘08
Not Canadian enough.
There is no surprise in this. Dems always do better than Republicans up here in the tundra, because they more closely mirror our own values. We were clinging to Clinton, goofy for Gore, krazy for Kerry, and now were overwhelmed by Hopey O. Take heart, Jagorev: if you’d just elect Dems more often, your international stock would remain higher.
But, sorry Wonk-editors, you’ve got this story bass-ackwards. Yes, we dig the guy, far more than the current crop of losers fronting our major parties. [They're all lame, particularly the guy I must hold my nose to vote for every frikkin' time there's an election.] But we want the O-man installed in Washington, not here. That’s where he’ll do the most good.
The question is, what does Hopey want for the USofA? For that answer, one need only peruse the Moonie Times, because they declare it’s…. wait for it… yep….CANADA!!!

El Bombastico: Hate to break the news to ya, Bombo, but Crown Royal is distilled in Gimli, Manitoba and you can’t get any more Canadian than that. If ya wanna know more about Gimli, seek out the film Tales From Gimli Hospital by our wackiest director, Guy Madden. [Or any of his others films, because they're all heavy on the Manitoba content.]
Paultardville: We’re at par.
Canuckledragger: When President McCain invades your country, kills your leaders, converts you all to our religion and drains your oil sands of all it’s precious oil, your country will have nothing but beef jerky and maple syrup left!!
Oh and a few moose!
There are more folks looking for a parking spot in the USA at any one time than live
in all of Canada. Still, Canadians know a good thing when they see one. Another big
difference? In Canada the bitters are rich.
A “bi-national survey”. If that isn’t just so Canadian.
AngryBlakGuy: We don’t want to annex Canada. All those people expect free health care? Bleh.
Johnny Zhivago: Fuckin’ tard can’t even get in and out of a car without giving himself a concussion, but we’re supposed to be afraid of him? Pardon me whilst I cough up a lung laughing. The woman who leads the Green Party here could kick his ass with two fingers. [He's toast come the general, so no need to fear him anyway.]
The Wonk-editors might also have directed your attention to another story stemming from this poll:
Americans more anxious about future than Canucks: poll Gee, wonder why…
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080627/poll_us_canada_070627?s_name=&no_ads=
S.Luggo: All ya hosers makin’ fun of Canda don’t know what you’re talking aboot, eh? You’re prob’ly all gehy, eh?
Ok Americans, here’s the plan, see. First, we silence this Canuckledragger: guy so he can’t spill the beans, see. Then we get Hopey elect President of the good ol’ USA AND Prime Minister of Canada. Then we annex the whole kit and caboodle. That’s it. 1/3 of the world’s fresh water supplies, Alberta tar sands and cooler climes to retreat to afetr California finishes burning itself off of the face of the map.
Ok, so now who’s got the blackjack to got get Canuckledragger
AngryBlakGuy: Man, Canada don’t won’t our tanking dollars. You know we are a fading empire when that Canadians don’t want to be us.
It’s settled then…. Yes We Can - ada!!
Johnny Zhivago: [slightly personal note]…its highly unlikely that two people could come up with such a moniker…you used to live in austin…right?
I am afraid this Janey Canuck has a girl crush on Hillary. Now, there’s someone with melon-sized cajones! Barry lost me with his eye-rolling NAFTA stance (yes, bogus, but jeebus, let’s just dumb it right down for all the nice folks in O! O! Ohio) and on the “Name the President of Canada” question. Ask any 5th grader—it’s Hello, Prime Minister! (This is what a Harvard ed. does for ya). I hope he does better on the Mid-East tour.
PS. I hear the lastest Obabma rumour: he REALLY likes his poutine…
Dominion would be the work you’re looking for. Happy Dominion day, eh!
Wagamuffin: I am trying to follow you, however you have some of the worst grammar I have ever seen. With respect, what the fuck are you even saying?
Wagamuffin: Canuckledragger: In fairness, I can’t imagine a more boring name for a politician than “Stephen Harper”. He doesn’t even embellish his name with an initial (Stephen P. Harper; Stephen J. Harper, whatever).
What do you call him (behind his back)? Dish it.
wheelie: I can think of a few, but they are all members of the United States Senate.
Maybe being Prime Minister of Canada should be required to be qualified for President of the United States? Kind of a farm team, Bush League thing?
oh come on, you gotta admit, barry against that red and white maple leaf??
seriously, that’s ONE flagpin dude would be proud to wear.
Canuckledragger: yes yes yes but WHY aren’t we getting any wonkette coverage of the quebec biker chick / national secrets / many resigning politicians scandal?
that’s some way better stuff than satan people in NC.
ladymacbeth: Well, if I were a Wonk-editor, you’d be fully filled in on that score. Because it’s actually waaaaay sleazier than you can imagine. Five whore diamond Hells Angels biker chick gets passed around like a party favour among politicos so she can “lobby” them for lucrative contracts for her corporate benefactors. This is the Elvis Schvitzer story on steroids.
http://www.economist.com/world/la/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11586048
Canuckledragger: i KNOW, right. i’m forced to follow a five whore diamond sex story in:
THE ECONOMIST.
Since Obama has been such a compromising, spineless, meek little pussy lately, it makes sense that the Canadians would claim him as their own.
(No offense, Canuckledragger.)
ronaldpagan: The Dudley Dooright thing is just a disguise we use to conceal our true identity. 1812 ring any bells? Know who the Nazis dreaded more than any other nation? ‘Twas our own madass kilt-wearin’ wild colonial boys, ‘coz they were hardcore crazy motherfuckers. To us, what you’re doing in Iraq is just another Saturday night barroom brawl in Kamloops, with more firepower. Seriously. The thuggery in my land is unrivalled this side of the equally wild colonial Bruces in Aussie-stralia, but we keep it on the downlow ‘coz it scares the tourists off. Because they’re such spineless, meek little pussies.
Nasara: OK. Those would be hockey pucks. Old joke and I am truly perturbed by my ability to remember it.
Canuckledragger: Living in Detroit as a kid, Seagram’s was a bright red neon siren calling, calling, always calling across the Detroit River. Later, grown up, and finally able to legally imbibe, I suddenly understood why Americans always always mixed the 7-Crown with 7-Up. Now, older still, I’ve learned to lose the 7-Up. And continuing OT, the indie movie “My Winnepeg” is currently my fave flik. But I pander.
anabellum: No, Austin is great, but Johnny Zhivago is a fleeting reference to an unheard band in Clockwork Orange.
Canuckledragger: OK, OK. It’s time for me to come clean! When I’m in Canada I always pose as a European. When I’m in Europe I pose as a Canadian!
shortsshortsshorts: Are you referring to my last sentence, SSS? The first part of it did get away from me before I could vet it…is it the “poutine” ref you’re asking about?? Look it up!! LOL! This would be my sly Canuck sense of humour (with a “u”, btw)…
Canuckledragger: Canuckledragger, don’t forget to remind Ronald Pagan about that little mishap in Iran, when Our Man In Tehran gave aid, shelter, new ID’s and a Freedom Ride to the those who did manage to get out of the US Embassy when the Ayatollah sent the goon squad in…
Well, yah, since Barry is somewhat to the left of Marx (Groucho), that goes without saying.
“One morning, I shot an elephant in my pyjamas. How he got into my pyjamas, I’ll never know.”
Canuckledragger: re: Ronald Pagan. Please remind him that Our Man In Tehran gave comfort, refuge, fake Canadian ID’s and a smuggled Freedom Ride outta there to those of his countrymen who were lucky enough to escape the US Embassy as the Ayatollah was sending in the goons. As I recall, there was even a ticker tape ride down 5th Avenue for good ol’ Ambassador Ken after the whole affair ended. Of course, Ronald P. was probably just a nasty gleam in his daddy’s eye at the time…
Wagamuffin: Clarification noted. Snark on, patriotic!
wheelie: We don’t call him. Ever.
undoubtedly, Obama’s popularity elsewhere will hurt his chances at home.
when will the rest of the world learn that they must feign displeasure to ensure the victory of their nominee of choice?
the support of Europeans and Canadians, like that of that liberal rag The New York Times, is decidedly un-American…even tantamount to the endorsement of Al-Qaeda.
also: how do Canadians feel about Mike Myer’s new film “The Love Guru”?
NebraskashireGentry: You are right. It’s a Canadian plot! Damn, we thought the ol’ “reverse psychology” thing would work. Give me my shoe phone, I have to call the Chief for new instructions..
NebraskashireGentry: Oscar (Meyer) worthy!
shortsshortsshorts: Snark On, Garth!
Wagamuffin: OH why don’t you slap on some more comment like a trollip, you cunt?
Ken Layne,
The 3% that admired Midge, do they have anything to do with…say…circuses, sideshows or asylums?
Not surprising Barry is doing well up there after his recent waffling on NAFTA. (You know, now that Clinton is out of the race.)
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr-Clark
shortsshortsshorts: SSS, you EAT with that mouth?? Though not pussy, I’m wagering. Watch the spelling, btw. This is what comes of not having a charter school education.
Wagamuffin: Charter school eh? Is that an advanced version of public school? I wouldn’t know, I didn’t associate with your type. *Elitist smug face*
AND my farts smell like fresh-picked flowers. So I’m right there with you!
shortsshortsshorts: Oh, SSS, you like me! You really, really like me!! I can tell—the cute, tell-tale flecks of spittle when you call my name, the teeth grinding that I can hear all the way up to Kapuscasing, the whiff of some poor duct-taped rodent as you blow out whatever IS up your ass…your Wind Song stays on my mind, baby.
You can be my Nelson Eddy (and I can be your long lost pal). When I’m Calling Youuuu-uuu–uuuu….
M-wah! BFF!!!!
Wagamuffin: You have many mistaken images:
1. I have no teeth. So there is no grinding.
2. I am bored, so you receive “spittle” in effect.
3. Im too tired to go about like this. Usually I would charge on, but the “Unforgiven,” directedhas beaten you.
shortsshortsshorts: You are my perfect man, then! Dammit, it’s come to this.
Canuckledragger: I’ve been to Brandon, Manitoba. Do I get any points for it?
wallythepug: Because I’m an easy marker, you get points just for being a Yanqui who can find Canada on a map.
And since you can, it’s clear you’re a fuckin’ educated, arrogant, latte-sipping elitist. See how that works? You just can’t win.
Wagamuffin: shortsshortsshorts: Sweet Jeebus on a crossbow, why don’t you two just get a room. There’s a lovely little B&B in my favourite town, Dildo. [No I'm not calling either one of you Dildo, that's the name of the town.]
wheelie: That would be ‘Dirty Sandwich’.
Canuckledragger: This Land is Your Land, This Land is My land, from Ta Ta Creek British Columbia, to Pecker’s Point, Newfoundland…etc. It’s July 1—Happy Canada Day, Canuckledragger! See you at the fireworks and Eskimo Toss tonight??
Canuckledragger: Well, I might as well go all the way in my elitism, and admit I’ve also been to Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, and Hamilton Ontario. Lattes on me, everyone!
Canuckledragger: I was drug around your great nation by my ex. Did I mention my former father in law played for the Brandon Wheat Kings back in the 50’s before helmets?
Every Canadian I met was extremly nice and polite. It was very disorienting.
