2. Those blasted Canadian/canadien terroists at that!

What next without a secure border? Will our precious white chidren have to learn to spell color with a superflous "u"? Will we be getting CBC communist propoganda over our free airwaves?

Les canadiens sont une grande piece de merde!

bush must simply demand that Canada kill all living beings, except humans (unless they are deemed insurgents or enemy combatants of course) so that the current technology will be more than sufficient and no money needs to be taken from the Iraq budget to upgrade!!

:sarcasm: just in case it's needed.
