On the other sides, we have guy who can't speak English and makes no sense in French, a guy who represents unions and who has admitted in public to riding a bike, and a woman from the Green party who started off her stellar campaign calling the tax payers "stupid". <BR/><BR/>Makes Sarah Palin look like a genius.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-43641841213449381712008-10-02T10:40:00.000-04:002008-10-02T10:40:00.000-04:00i am new, but why the hate for schwinn and bmx?i am new, but why the hate for schwinn and bmx?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-39803287526947922122008-10-02T10:34:00.000-04:002008-10-02T10:34:00.000-04:00streepo...le puck.streepo...<B>le</B> puck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-49586637606215481982008-10-02T10:31:00.000-04:002008-10-02T10:31:00.000-04:00Bob, Doug and Pierre pretty much covers 90% of the...Bob, Doug and Pierre pretty much covers 90% of the country, except that their last names are now either "Li" or "Singh". <BR/><BR/>The highest elected official is appointed from the Queen, not the British Queen, but rather the highest elected gay man in parliament. He is then referred to as the "Tim Horton", and his goal is to win the most seats in parliament and the senate, or what we call in Canada, the "double-double". When the right-wing Tory party gets this, it's referred to as the "double-double with creme".<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the lack of knowledge of Ontario ice flows, but I was raised in Toronto, and hence consider anything north of the Finch subway station frozen tundra occupied by the Inuit and bears and pie-plate hating geese.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
