Should Canada indict Bush?

Wouldn't that be unfair to Americans who are faced with the similar parodies on CC? I thought it was quite funny - but then again, I'm not Canadian.
RE: Should Canada indict
I thought it was kind of funny. Not accurate the way a good parody is, but kind of funny.

I understand the role of the "Crown" and the "Governor-General" but then the article was meant as a parody (joke to keep it simple) but not meant to offend but put a spin on how it would be to indict Bush. (Homework-Phrase-"Let slip the dogs of war" See-Cheney)
My Aunt (English Father's side of Family) is the head of Royal Monarchist's League in her town in Ontario, teaches civics lessons to immigrants.

It easy to dish out a parody but then one must realise that inorder to issue a parody, one must realise he maybe the reciepient. name calling is the province of a bankrupt agrument, the parody about indicting Bush may have been offencive to some but it is a parody and an answer to the original parody about grabbing Bush.
One must not have a thin skin when discussing issues but be polite and civil. The true colours are shown when one can not realise the difference between parody and the real world.

NB should indict the entire progressive conservative party of NB for hate crimes against English speaking peoples and other non-ethnic acadians.
Hi! Martin Le Acadien
I enjoyed the parody.
I thought the concept of arresting half of Canada was rather funny to contemplate.
I enjoyed your other posts as well.
At least you just don't post one-liners! Like "lol" and "ROTFL". At least your postings have content.
When the goin' gets tough ....

You hate Bush because he is a strong, conservative, English speaking Leader. I applaud Bush's strong defiance of Canada and France. God Bless the USA.
Re: RE: Should Canada indict Bush?
I wasn't offended in the full sense of the word. I have great pride in the country that I live in. I do not like it when people portray it as weak and meaningless. Canadians are horrible for dumping on their own country and own people. I really envy the pride that Americans have for their country and fellow citizens. Right or wrong Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with one another.
Californians and Texans are very different people and often disagree on many issues, but they would never belittle and bagger each other. I think of every Canadian citizen in the same way, I may disagree with some of them but in the end they are all my brothers and sisters. It is fine to complain, Canada is not perfect, but offer some rational solution that is fair to all sides.

Re: RE: Should Canada indict Bush?
Canada is not weak nor is it meaningless, Canada may be the butt of jokes in the US but when the truth is told, Canada is the country which tempers the US and makes us think of how things might be improved and what can we do to make them better. Canadian Army Guys taught us how to Peacekeep in Kosovo, universal healthcare is a topic discussed here and guess where the idea came from? With a population of 32 million, Canada exerts an influence far beyond its per capita size in the Movies and TV series here in the States, we get nightly news updates on how well things are going in Canada and the only bad news we hear is about the Artic cold Fronts.
Pride comes from a feeling of belonging and yes, that pride, is the development of many years of history which builds character into what the common person believes about his country. The US was founded in war and struggle, developed its growing pains by developing in a haphazard fashion.
Canada was a well thought out plan of action, the Confederation was developed in Charlottetown, PEI and the plan worked, Canada's birthing pain was not one of belching gunpowder but of ink and parchement! Canada developed out of a plan, not a reaction to the stimuli around it as the US did! It forms the the largest landmass in the Americas (duh), fuels the North American Collossus and supplies the brainpower to North America since its universities are models of efficiency and learning for the per capita size of Canada! (1 in 4 usa residents have University or College degrees compared to 1 in 3 in Canada!)
Texans and Californians will belittle and bagger each other and how Texans look at Californians and vice-versa is a joke unto itself, they usually can't stand one another. Texans think Californians are vegetable eating moronic fools and Californians think Texans are a bunch of red-neck cowboys! Yes, the folks here in the USA will stand shoulder to shoulder, we have done some in-fighting amongst ourselves but we are one when some one picks a fight!
Canada also has had it share of standing its ground, in WW2, Canada was Britian's lifeline and supplied Britian for over a year holding off the greatest war machine the world had ever seen, Nazi Germany! Canada's losses were 5 times greater than the US, man for man!
Canada has a lot to be proud of and while patriotism might seem campy or arrogant, love of country is nothing to be ashamed of, pride in yesterday, today and tommorrow is the basis of patriotic pride and with the Maple Leaf flying high, the pride naturally flows.
I was at the Congre Mondial Acadien in Nova Scotia this summer and the pride of seeing three national flags which represent our being Acadien, the pride of being Acadien was electric. Just remember one thing, even after what happened to the Acadien People in 1755, we also would fight to death if somebody invaded Canada, our ancestors are buried in her soil and we gave our name to the Country, Canada was and is ACADIE!
