Apparently, not only is it illegal to be a Conservative in Canada; it is illegal to have money.

Elections Canada is probing Conservative party spending for advertisements during the 2006 parliamentary election campaign.

The Conservative Party of Canada, having reached the $18.3-million advertising spending limit set out under the Canada Elections Act, transferred cash to 66 local campaign offices.

The local campaigns sent the money back to national party headquarters to buy local television and radio advertisements for their candidates.

Elections Canada says the advertisements produced through the local offices didn't qualify as local spending because they were too similar to national ads. The ads looked exactly the same as the national ads, except for small print or the names of the individual candidates.

But you know Kinkos would charge them extra for every different printing they had to do. And Tv would charge them for every "Joe Blow for Canadian Politician" blurb they recorded.

For the sake of uniformity, the conservatives wanted a brand identity. How is that really a crime?

Now I know why ootpoop has such a problem with Bush!

An American friend of mine asked me what was the most upsetting thing about being born a Canadian.

I pondered for a few minutes, and then told him about a recent trip to the USA.

I said:
"When I go to Buffalo to shop for Communist Chinese-made tools at the Harbor Freight store,
the smell of cheap wine and body odour from the throngs of limbless aging wretches in
motorized wheelchairs covered in VFW stickers begging for change in exchange for
Support the Troops magnets, reminds me that I am are now in a very foreign country."

"Usually I ask, 'Should I support the ones who murdered Pat Tillman too?' and they get all red
in the face and start shouting and doing wheelies chasing me, and then their colostomy bag
ruptures and they suddenly realise they're covered in their own shit and the only thing they
have to wipe themselves with is their handfull of John McCain '08 flyers."

"...... wait -- that's the funny part -- the upsetting part is that I wish it was
Dick Cheney and George Bush sitting in those wheelchairs, but it isn't."
:x

On further reflection, that upsets me as a human being.


What upsets me as a Canadian is that the USA is the only other country I can drive to;
I really would prefer France or Cuba for a Saturday afternoon visit.

One can only hope.

OBAMA = Party over country

Oh, I understand...
NOW it's OK to disrespect your President.

There's always hope that Obama will start snorting cocaine, become an alcoholic, go AWOL from the National Guard and drop about 40 IQ points so you can have a beer with him.
