Today, I received an e-mail about this article in which we see Gordon O'Connor sounding like a bad knock-off of Donald Rumsfeld.
At risk of being accused of plagirism, I'll turn over the floor to the email comment received:
Okay now, how much of that sounded exactly as if it was BushCo speaking to the American people ??? Exactly all of it!! The use of the word terrorist when describing anyone who attacks your troops, despite the fact that what is actually going on is a Civil War and we are (unfortunately) picking sides. The other statement is "Our troops on the ground are protecting Canada". Bullsh!t, that statement is part of the 'fear mongering' that is so pervasive in the U.S. and is designed to make us believe that our government, through the use of the troops, are 'protecting' us from the evil terrorists.
Frankly this is disgusting, it is lying to the Canadian people and setting the stage for the same kind of crap rhetoric that has caused the American peoples to become so xenophobic.
The more I hear out of HarperCrit, the more afraid I become that we have just elected "mini-Shrub".
