Yep, they're both idiots...
Today's Filibuster cartoon is bang on. Of course, it's not just a government thing. It's a personal thing. While politicians find it offensive to be labeled as "American-like," so does the average Canuck. Canadians have a phobia of America that's quite severe. In fact, we try to hide feelings of insecurity and inadequacy toward the U.S. by disguising those emotions as dislike, distrust and sometimes even hatred for American policies and Americans themselves.
It is doubly unfortunate that the mud-raking from our top candidates for prime minister are essentially reduced to: "You're so American, you shouldn't be PM." "Nuh-uh. I'm rubber, you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you." I'm sure those lively and intelligent debates are followed by a few "neener-neeners" and a couple of raspberries.
They're both idiots.
