| MP apologizes for calling Americans "bastards" |
| 2003-02-26 |
| Thanks to Paul for the headzup! A Liberal MP has apologized for saying about Americans: "I hate those bastards." MP Carolyn Parrish was speaking to reporters about Canada's diplomatic initiative on Iraq. At the end of her comments Parrish said, "Damn Americans ... I hate those bastards." Bitch. I never liked her, either... A CBC reporter says Parrish then laughed as she was walking away. "Hyuck hyuck hyuck! That was such a thigh-slapper!" In a written statement issued Wednesday afternoon, Parrish says she made the comments in the heat of the moment in a private conversation. She says they do not reflect her opinion of the American people. "My comments do not reflect my personal opinion of the American people and they certainly do not reflect the views of the government of Canada," she said in her written statement. "My comments certainly do not reflect my personal opinion. I'm a politician. I never say what I really mean, everbody knows that. And we all know that the Gummint of Canada has no opinions." Canadian Alliance Leader Stephen Harper said Parrish's comments won't make relations between the two countries any better. "They don't do Canadians any good — Canadians who are trying to cross the border for business, Canadians who are trying to sell lumber or agricultural products or manufactured goods to the United States," said Harper. Old habits are hard to break, aren't they? Used to be, Americans paid you no mind when you called them names... |

| #12 Regardless, only Canadian public pressure can change the current fact that this bitch is a Canadian elected representative. If they do nothing and leave her in office then the Ontario, if not overall Canadian, public, will have spoken. I will act accordingly in what I buy. I have no doubt that a majority of the Canadian populace is pro-freedom, pro-American, and not anti-semitic (as per the recent Toronto College incidents for palestinians)...yet they remain silent too often. This is also the case here in the US and as you can see, I choose not to remain silent here. |

| #10 She claims she said this in a private conversation. Gimme a break, she was walking away from a press scrum. Although she did think no one would hear her. What a loser. Yesterday was a tough one for Chretien: got dumped on by both Germany & the US. Two losers in one day, must be some sort of record. |

| #6 Sounds like the Hillary of the Great White North. Goes to show ya, Canada's Liberal Party or our own DNC, they both feed from the same stinking trough. |

| #4 Most of us don't doubt that we have lots of friends north of the border. God knows, we have enough dumbasses here in the sunny south. But it seems like Canada's Liberal Party is determined to convince us otherwise. |

| #3 Hey come on, you've got friends up here. Unfortunately leadership has been of scarce supply here recently. Historically though it is a different story. Canada declared war on Japan on Dec.7th '41, the very same day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, whereas the U.S. and Britain did it on Dec.8th. So there!! And please remember you've got friends up here, regardless of what some ignoramus flaps his gums about. |

| #1 I'm really ashamed to have this idiot as my unwanted and not voted for representative. My only hope is that these morons will be voted out in the next elections. |
