You have to expect some addled behavior from Canadians until NHL settles its labor problems.

It is always a bit frightening when life begins to resemble the movies. It is even more frightening when it begins to resemble this one.

Canadians like to vacation in Florida, so there is always the possibility he could be there when the Big One hits.

Cranky

The best version of the "living will" I've see so far is this one.

You know the Canadian inferiority complex can get no worse, when . . .

You lose any sense that there is a Canada.

Well, remember we were abolishing Canada's sovereignty a few weeks ago, so they're just being careful.

Oh those poor, poor Americans. First they can't even do an occupation of a third world country right, and now they have to endure snarky Canadians writing snarky articles about them.

Is he assuming that Frist, DeLay and Bush would want him alive?

Um, Dan?

Is he Canadian, or an American expat?

If the latter, he can move back at any time. And, knowing this batch of GOP, they probably could come up with some way of meddling with an expatriate in a vegetative state, if they thought it'd be politically advantageous.

Yeah, good point about the comedy equivalent of standing. Since no American ever mocks any other nation, the citizens of the world should reciprocate. I understand it's part of the Warsaw Convention. . .

Dan's only mad because virtually ANY doctor in Canada is better than cat killer Frist.

"Yeah, good point about the comedy equivalent of standing. Since no American ever mocks any other nation, the citizens of the world should reciprocate. I understand it's part of the Warsaw Convention. . ."

Quiet, Frenchie.

I thought Bush's next target in the "War on Terrorism" was Canada?

Perhaps after watching Paul Martin stacking the Senate, that would be a legit concern.... Didn't they do that in Germany a few years ago?

There is another possibility: this David Martin could be the same David Martin that had a column with the same Chicago Tribune back in the 1980's. That Martin's beat was the Pentagon and wrote a twice-weekly column on defense and security matters.

I think there was some difference of opinion between the writer and management, leading to his departure.

But it is quite common for the Chicago papers, especially the Trib, to pick up former writers/reporters from other outlets in the Chicago market after there welcome had been worn out.

So you all may not have to read in to this as much as you are.

Now, whilethe [sic] U.S., Canada, and Mexico have recently pledged greater security and economic integration, I'm still pretty sure that no one living in Ottawa, Canada really has to worry about a Schiavo-type scenario happening.

Uh, why? I've lived in Canada for many years. It most certainly could happen - there is no limit to the stupidity and moral bankruptcy of mny politicians, everywhere.
