Just A Case Of Dislike
So, there is now prrof that Canadians don't hate Paul Martin (PM the PM). And the words of solace come from an unlikely source.
Jack Layton? Not unless Martin pulls a minority out of his ass tomorrow.
Gilles Duceppe? Not until there's some good contracts for Bloc-Heads already signed and a few more in the offing, with perhaps an envelope in a bistro here and there.
Jean Chretien? Nah, it's been too mild a winter for hell to have frozen over.
Stephen Harper? Oh, I make me laugh. Wait, it's true!
The quote:
"Canadians don't hate things. That is not the nature of Canadians. Canadians can disagree but it takes a lot to get Canadians to intensely hate something or hate somebody and usually it involves hockey."
Like the ref who didn't notice that Calgary scored a goal in overtime in Game Six against Tampa Bay. Gee, that goal would have won the game. Then there wouldn't have been a Game Seven. Then the world would have been right. There'd have been no tsunami. Osama would go into retirement in Myrtle Beach, global warming would stop at a nice comfortable level, the NBA would call it quits and take up Bocce, and whales wouldn't swim up the Thames to try to catch a show.
Coming next week, PM no longer the PM to swim up the Thames to try to catch a show. Wildlife rescue organizations and qualified vets standing by...

Oh the good old Hockey game...
"It's the last 10 minutes, you're down 3-1, we'd better pull the goalie soon."
— David Emerson, the industry minister, describing how the Liberal campaign is going. He later said he would define "pull the goalie" as "rough up a few Conservatives."
Perhaps elections should just be a hockey game....THAT would get a good voter turn-out!
Apparently there were Indian nations that, instead of war, would have a game of lacrosse instead. Mind you, a pretty vicious, no rulse, people died kind of game, but lacrosse nonetheless.
