God Bless Amer... aaah, Canada
Over the past few weeks I have been lobbying hard for all things Canuck...yaking on about how great and progressive our country is...how we are decades ahead of the States on so many social policies....blah blah blah. But as I was reading over Harper's speech in Kandahar yesterday I had a nagging feeling I'd heard ot all somewhere before.
But as I groaned my way to the end of the text, I was stunned by his last line. "God Bless Canada." Since when do Canadian PMs sign off like that? What's next? Will Steve insist that the agencies start moving pics of him every Sunday as he leaves church? It's a frightening fact that our new leader appears to emulate Bush so much...especially when he has never been lower in the opinion polls as now. A new one out today had Bush with only a 36% approval rating.
It just feels so frustrating --and embaressing in light of where I am right now-- that my pride is how progressive Canada is is in danger of being undermined.
To make myself feel better, I did have a little giggle at this. Click on it to big it up so that you can read it:
