"A complete and utter fraud designed to fool Canadians"

What happened to all the anti-Americanism on the left? If Bush interfered with Canadian politics, would everyone be so lackadaisical about it?

Good point. I think this goes to show that the alleged 'anti-Americanism' on the left was never about America, but rather about the particular ideology being exported at any given time. That is to say, the charges of anti-Americanism leveled at the left by the extreme right were often baseless. It was all about idealogy, not nationality.

So, during the tenure of Clinton, Alexa's rants about "American style healthcare", developed by Lyndon Johnston, were all about Republicans?

Before I can respond, I need you to please quote the allegedly anti-American portions of these alleged 'rants'.

Go away.

So betsy, are you denying that man has had anything at all to do with climate change?

Think about this: No matter where man has been we have caused pollution. We have air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution. It has taken (and will take more) years to clean up some of these things. Wouldn't it make sense, given these examples, that man has had something to do with what is happening in our atmosphere?

climate change/pollution? Canadian "man" 2% of 5% that is caused by world "man"

Boy, the Liberal media sure is on the attack. In the same edition of the Star (Sunday), there's a long article by Michael Byers speculating that there is a strong case to accuse Hillier and O'Connor of War Crimes. It would be laughable if there weren't so many biased, gullible, pacifists in the media. It's disgraceful. I saw Amir Attaran on CBC Newsworld the other day - he's the guy who started this whole thing. He's obviously a smart fellow but he only looks to be about 30 years old - quite smug and haughty in his demeanor. He's a PHD Law Professor at U of Ottawa. It never ceases to amaze me how these academics are given so much coverage by the media - I mean, how can someone be in their early 30's. become a PHD Law professor, teach at U of Ottawa and still find time to understand what goes on in Afghanistan - in the real world - on the ground. As well-meaning as he may be, he's a texbook academic armchair quarterback - and the media just sucks this stuff up.

Ken Whyte has been the editor of our only national weekly since Summer 2005. Have you seen the ratio of the conservative columnists in Maclean's lately vs. liberal ones? In fact, are there any liberals left anymore in Macleans? All I see these days is Andrew Potter, Barbara Amiel, Mark Steyn and the sort. Then there is the National Post which has contracts with practically every service industry west of Manitoba.

Virtually every columnist I read is hailing Harper as the best thing to happen to Canada since Mulroney. He's even been compared to Trudeau by the "liberal" media. Except for the Toronto Sun, I have no idea what you're talking about.

As for Global-warming and Harper, wait till next week's Maclean's hits the news-stands. There goes that "liberal" media again.

You don't want me to answer your question about Alexa after all? w/e, dude!

Wow, is Al Gore ever fat! He must be full of crap on global warming -- no-one that fat can ever be correct!

Ha-ha-ha! Apparently Gore voted against Kyoto when he was vice president.

So now, is Al Gore peddling his books?

Oh boy.....so easy to change one's tune...for the love of money, eh?

Yeah....but I guess he doesn't want to crack another diet book. The market is saturated with them.

Much easier to cash in on the environment, while hysteria is high....and gullibility abound.

"A complete and utter fraud designed to fool Canadians"

That's kind of how I see Gore.

[scribblet]

Can you imagine the uproar if a Republican - gasp - had interfered in Canadian politics - can't have that you know.

Exactly.

Gore was referring to himself when he spoke of fraud! He should've been standing up there on stage wearing a t-shirt that says: me.
