Blackout trail leads to Ohio
2003-08-17
Here’s one for all you Canada bashers:
Three transmission lines in Ohio apparently started a chain reaction that caused the widespread blackout across parts of the Northeast, Midwest and southern Canada, according to utility officials.
After all the blame Canada’s gotten for the Blackout of 2003, I must come to the conclusion, that Ohio is in fact, a Canadian province. And after listening to some American Radio stations recently, this story may yet, one day, be filed under ’Homefront’.

#5  Seems like we all share a common problem: blovating politicians, NIMBYdiots, and consumers who refuse to accept the true cost of energy.

#2  It's a conspiracy. Those of us who are sick of the tendency of the media and the far left to "blame the US first" have created a coalition to "blame Canada first," and this is only the opening salvo, my friend.

MWA-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH!

Our reasoning is that, even if it isn't Canada's fault, it should be, so it's a win-win situation for us.

#1  What was the US gonna do were it Canada'a fault?

Come over for dinner and a movie? Catch a Bluejays game?

The only thing about Canada we don't like is Chretien and he is gone in six months.
