Don't give it another thought! I should do some research myself, but quite frankly I find my prime minister quite boring, lacking in warmth and very forgettable. Most of my 'political' time is spent keeping an eye/ear on YOUR president, which is why I keyed in to this topic in the first place. Time will tell how our 'prime ministerial doofus' will behave as 2011 approaches.

You didn't. Hillary Clinton is apparently visiting Canada today and the news I heard on the way home was that she made at least three 'offensive' comments. One commentator remarked that given her expertise these had to have been deliberate, and one media response had prime minister Harper pointing out that these comments won't influence his decisions for Canada.

I just wondered what the news there was saying about this visit.

[Pardon the delayed response. I keep running back and forth trying to catch up on your previous posts today.]

Hey Laffy, I'm just signing on so I haven't read your other posts yet, but I have a comment.

The story up here is that your SOS offended our estimable (yeah, right!) government on three different issues:
i. Canada’s planned/promised 2011 withdrawal from Afghanistan
ii. some Harper proposal or other to do with abortion/young mothers …whatever, … and
iii. (I can’t remember the 3rd now that I’m home.)

Now we may be your neighbour and good friend, but that’s no reason not to consider our (ahem) collective feelings as carefully as you’d consider that of Israel, for example.

What’s the story down there re the SOS‘s trip to your best bud – Canada?

LOVE the accompanying clip. Face Palm, GOP? No. It's bigger than that, more like Face Floor. Ahahaha!
