Canada v. USA « This. That. No Other.

“Girl, You Did NOT Just Steal My Rights, Did You?”

If you click on the image below, you can download a high-res copy of the amazing trance_max‘s clever, exceedingly-gay (equals fun!) posteration of some banter I used to preface the John Smith poster, oh, three posts or so ago, over at Joe.My.God.. Warning! PDF!

And if you’re in Toronto and go to the U.S. Consulate [...]

Welcome Ba(ra)ck, America

Much will be written about the 2008 election, how it laid bare the ugly desperation of the GOP and how nearly half of America is, apparently, still fatally poisoned by three Rs: religion, racism and, for lack of a better word, retardation. But today… celebrate.

Celebrate the best thing to happen to American — and international [...]

Make History

Dear America,

This fucking election is almost over. And history is about to be made. But only if you vote and only if you vote to reject, soundly, the policies which have tarnished America’s international reputation, the Rovian politics which have created the most divided America I’ve seen during my lifetime and the military-industrial greed which [...]

Prankin’ Palin

Isn’t there some sort of law against taking advantage of the mentally-challenged?

(Les Justiciers Masqués – The Masked Avengers, y’all — a French-Canadian radio comedy duo from Montréal, nail the Alaskan governor while pretending to be French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Hilarity ensues.)

And, I just hafta add this… It’s not a prank and it certainly is not [...]

Welcome Barack, America

From Spacing:

If the rest of the planet could vote, Barack Obama would win the American 2008 election in an unprecedented landslide. It’s safe to say that much of the world is waiting anxiously for the Obama victory — think of the 200,000 people that saw Obama speak in Berlin last July.

The [...]

Dear Lorne Michaels…

Dear Lorne Michaels,

Look, I have to tell you, as one Canadian to another, what you’re about to do is wrong. I heard this morning that both Larry King and John McCain confirm that you’re going to have Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live next week and that’s just, plain wrong.

I’m not going [...]

Optional Democracy

Roughly 40% of eligible Canadian voters decided to… not vote. Almost ten million “citizens” abdicated their rights and responsibilities to choose their government.

Pathetic.

Oh, Canada.

So it’s elections day in Canada today! Exciting, huh? But before you vote, you might want to find out where you’ll be voting and who the candidates are — if you’re so disengaged from everything that you don’t know already — or maybe you just want to know what time your poll closes.

So you head [...]

Fear v. Hope in Ohio (Again)

Like you need more video of willfully-ignorant Ohioans to make your Friday fun, right? Will these people honour the office of the President of the United States of America when Barack Obama wins?

(Video courtesy BlueOhioan).

And at this point it might be useful to reiterate why it is that a Canadian, who has an election [...]

Explaining America in the 21st Century

From Mike Judge’s remarkably — depressingly — prescient Idiocracy:

Christian Candidate Assaults Mom, Wants Gays Killed

His name is David Popescu and he’s running in Sudbury, Ontario, on a platform of… well, it seems he’s running on a platform of bible study and more bible study and unbridled hatred for practically everyone who isn’t presently mainlining fundamentalist Christianist dogma:

Popescu introduced himself with a public prayer, blaming environmental damage and [...]

Coalition of the Bootlickers

Oooo, ouch.

So sorry that you and Australia’s John Howard look like total Bush bootlickers in the video above, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Pity you guys missed the parts in the fax from Dick Cheney that said “improvise here” and “use your own words”.

Addendum: It Gets Even Better!

From The Globe and Mail‘s coverage of the damning [...]

Poll Finds World’s Preference Is Clear: Obama for President

A new BBC World Service poll surveyed people in 22 countries and found that, in every one of them, Democratic nominee Barack Obama was favored over Republican candidate John McCain. On average, 49 percent would like to see Obama prevail, while only 12 percent prefer McCain, according [...]

Stephen Harper Courts Fruit Vote

Canada’s Prime Minister (and leader of the Conservative Party of Canada) Stephen Harper was grilled today by a Winnipeg reporter while on the campaign trail.
