An unflattering summary of the state of Canada

A poster on one of the message boards I frequent, reddit.com, posted this little gem of a rant that I just had to keep for posterity. I don't agree with all of the vociferousness and language, but there's a certain hilarity to its whole "I'm mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore" sponteneity that I couldn't resist. Those easily offended by, oh whatever, might want to skip it.

"Things I learned about Canada in the last little while:

You can be charged with drunk driving if you're drunk and near a car, the RCMP lie when they taser and kill people, the leader of the opposition is a milquetoast who can't make up his mind, the PM is a fascist, they're introducing mandatory minimum sentencing drug laws that have helped destroy the U.S., text-message fees are marked up 4900%, our health minister believes in non-nuclear isotopes, our Science Minister doesn't believe in evolution, the Federal Natural Resources Minister has a complete retard for an assistant, the Brampton MP abuses her household help and our MPs quietly and secretly decided that they will not reveal how they claim expenses just in case the scandal that brought down the Brit MPs causes the same fury here. WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY!"

Another poster then added:

"Also, our Mint lost $20 Million worth of gold. And the (recently re-elected) Premier of BC plead guilty to drunk driving while on vacation in Hawaii but the liberals called for the resignation of the NDP solicitor general for getting too many speeding tickets."

Fun.
