Last week, MSNBC host Tucker Carlson(seen in the photos above), a well-known conservative pundit, let loose with a string of anti-Canada rants.
"Anybody with any ambition at all, or intelligence, has left Canada and is now living in New York," he said.
"Canada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he's nice but you don't take him seriously. That's Canada."
Carlson also said it's pointless to tell Canada to stop criticizing the United States.
"It only eggs them on. Canada is essentially a stalker, stalking the United States, right? Canada has little pictures of us in its bedroom, right?"
"It's unrequited love between Canada and the United States. We, meanwhile, don't even know Canada's name. We pay no attention at all," he said.
The day before, Fox News host Neil Cavuto highlighted Martin's remark at a news conference that the United States is a "reticent nation" lacking a "global conscience" on climate change.
"So have the Canadians gotten a little too big for their britches?" Cavuto asked.
"Could our neighbours to the north soon be our enemies?"
Douglas MacKinnon, a press secretary to former Republican senator Bob Dole, also recently accused Canada of harbouring terrorists.
"Can Canada really be considered our friend anymore?" he asked in a recent commentary in the right-wing Washington Times newspaper.
"What other question can be asked when the Canadian government not only willingly allows Islamic terrorists into their country but does nothing to stop them from entering our nation?"
U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins warned Martin last week to tone down anti-American jabs or risk hurting bilateral relations. But Martin was unrepentant, saying he would "not be dictated to" by the United States and his hard line appears to be resonating with some voters.
If Canada is "the retarded child" than the U.S is the fat, drunk, uncle who belches, passes gas and spews right wing uniformed garbage. Canadians are loyal to a fault to their friends, but it damn hurts when a so called friend treats us like a dog.
I suggest these jack-ass' who couldn't get a job on a local access channel here in Canada because our networks only hire skilled journalists not loud mouth wanna be comedian hacks.
Prime Minister Martin isn't exactly up for man of the year but at least he has the guts to stand up to countries that challenge Canadian standards of living, unlike a coward like Bush who bullies everyone around.
Ala 'Freedom Fries' I guess 'Canadian Bacon' will now be known as 'American Backside Bacon'. And before I get "Dixie Chicked", let me say my britches fit fine thanks.
Later,
