The Dumb Lead The Dumber

If you'd like a small glimpse into what passes for illuminated commentary in Canada these days then read this article about one of our resident socialists, Maude Barlow.

I laughed out loud when I read her ridiculous comments that David Wilkins' recent speech means that American conservatism is creeping into Canadian politics. How quickly we forget how many Canadians concerned themselves with nothing other than trying to defeat George Bush in the last U.S. presidential election. What's good for the goose clearly has to be good for the gander.

Furthermore let's not forget what started this whole war of words. Paul Martin asserted that the U.S., unlike Canada, is failing to do enough to control CO2 gas emissions. Afterwards it was revealed by all major media sources that in fact Canada's increase in such emissions are nearly twice as large as that of America!

If such lies & hypocrisy exemplify the so-called "Canadian values" that Barlow says are at risk, then let's hope that David Wilkins and other foreign ambassadors will speak up more often!
