The Economic Club of Toronto has announced that John McCain will be speaking in Ottawa on June 20th. NAFTA will almost certainly be the topic of the day. It seems quite obvious to me that he will spend the entire time talking about how he would keep NAFTA and Obama would destroy it, along with Obama wanting to kill Hockey, Beer, and Beavers, and want to form a North American Union....I assume. But little does John McCain know, he is a moron. I could really end the diary there but I guess I could explain why he is a moron in this instance.
Update: I will try and get the video for the speech, I am sure people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, and numerous others, would love to see him defending NAFTA!
First, one of the most fundamental principles of Canadian life, besides Hockey, is universal Health care. So right off the bat, he is going to be unpopular in Canada. Second, NAFTA may seem popular in Canada but a majority of Canadians believe that Canada gets screwed in the deal. Also on numerous issues, the US Governments of Reagen and Current Bush, have gone against NAFTA despite numerous ruling by US courts and NAFTA courts. So really its gotten Canada shit all. So a renegotiation is not a bad thing to look at. Oh another thing popular in Canada, the Iraq war. So ya thats 2 strikes. A majority of Canadians were against the war in Iraq from the beginning, hence we did not join the invasion. The right wing response?
and
Not to mention the deliberate banning of cattle entering the USA because of our lack of support for the war.
Ya so we are real fans of Republicans up here. Other things that are popular up here, laws, equal rights, proper education, peace, environment. And while were are at it, if all of a sudden McCain and the Republicans care about Canada, where were they while 85 Canadians died in Afghanistan, oh ya thats right, in that shit hole they call progress. If you really cared about Canada, then do the right thing and concede today!
