Bush is coming to Canada. Yipeeeeeee! I could almost shit a kitten with excitment. All the photo opps, and the pagentry, I'm rubbing my hands with glee over the prospects.This is gonna be a doozey, and I can't wait to see the chaos. I love the smell of rethoric in the morning. I can barely contain myself.
Just one thing!
Is it just me, or is our media is making it seem like we should feel privleged? like finally we have been deemed worthy enough to have the chief Banana Republican come and inspect us. Perhaps we can hold out our hands like children, you know... to make sure they're clean and all.
Our media has been trying to convince us of how great this is gonna be. Integrity has all but evaporated where this topic is concerned. It's a gong show waiting to happen. You can almost here a calliope cranking out circus music in the background. Bush is coming, let's all play nice, so America will love us again. We can be America junior again. We just have to kiss a little more ass. What a message! The worst part is the government wants you to buy into it.
Fuck that! This is a cultural crime... an act of near Treason! It's time for Canadians to buy into something else. Namely being Canadian. We have an opportunity to be a leader in the post 911 world. A voice of reason and sanity that the world will listen to.
Why the hell should we tie ourselves to America? Yes, they are our biggest trading partner, but so what? Are they going to stop needing the things we have. I don't think so. Just ask the Chinese, They have a dismal political relationship, and yet billions and billions of dollars worth of goods moves between the two countries uninterrupted.
The real truth is this. America needs us more than we need them. They know it too. Why do you think it became perrmissible for Canadian companies to bid on reconstruction projects in Iraq? Because the Bush administration wanted to kiss and make up? Not likely.
To me, this little vist reminds me more of the time that Elvis Presley wanted to be a drug enforcement officer, only to be caught dead on the shitter with his pants around his knees. It seems we have a horrible tendency these days of picking the loser. Shame really, we were just starting to get interesting as a country.
We shouldn't get too excited over this visit for other reasons too. Let's face it, the man is trouble. Everywhere he goes, he draws an angry mob. That's gotta tell you something! People throwing rocks, burning flags etc.. He's the unwelcome guest at the party, you know... the one that always manages to piss everybody off to the point where a fight breaks out. With friends like this who needs enemies?
Oh well, Perhaps we'll all just hold hands and sing the international equilivant of Cumbaya.
End Of Transmission.

So it's not just us ungrateful Europeans then. It seems that the Canadian people knows what president Bush and his hawks are about. What's wrong with your little (at least when it comes to area) brother in the south? Is it really possible that the majority of all idiots live in the same nation, or is it just something in the water?
