1. What? A Canadian Ambassador

being expelled from a country? No, I guess not.

[HEyHEY]

2. You'd think Iran would wanna make nice with America's sane neighbour

3. I know, huh? I'll say it

again..Funny ol' world.

"Canada and Iran have been at odds over matters like human rights, Tehran's nuclear program and the death of Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi, who died while in Iranian custody."

I just read that Iran dropped their nuke program in 2003.

And I'm still not sure why they expelled the Ambassador?

14. The death of the photojournalist is currently getting a lot of air time

Iran would really like Canada to drop it.

Since our faux Christian leader, Harpo, volunteered to stand in for Tony Blair we can expect to see much more of these machinations.

10. Thank you.

If they don't do it with Luongo, they don't deserve it. Since we're practically neighbors when I'm in Canada I'm hoping you won't yell at me for what might seem a dumb question.

I know what k/r means on here, but what does n/t stand for? Remember, no yelling. :dunce:
