"WHENEVER I THINK OF CANADA . . . strike that. I'm an American, therefore I tend not to think of Canada. On the rare occasion when I have considered the country that Fleet Streeters call "The Great White Waste of Time," I've regarded it, as most Americans do, as North America's attic, a mildewy recess that adds little value to the house, but serves as an excellent dead space for stashing Nazi war criminals,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (West Of East) http://franksters77603.yuku.com/sreply/141802 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:01:16 GMT http://franksters77603.yuku.com/reply/141788/t/obligatory-king-of-pop-thread.html#reply-141788 is a funny article.

Some NDP types and congenital Haters of Yanks believed themselves afflicted by that cirumstance (and others related to it) and left, but a number of gLib/NDP types stayed on here for years.
