Cellucci chews out Canada

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later: Canada was chewed out by the American ambassador to Canada for our refusal to participate in the war against Iraq, and for our anti-Americanism:

Cellucci told an audience of business executives in Toronto that had Canada found itself under threat, Washington would have come to its aid immediately.

“There is no security threat to Canada that the United States would not be ready, willing and able to help with. There would be no debate, there would be no hesitation. We would be there for Canada — part of our family,” he thundered.

“And that is why so many in the United States are so disappointed and upset that Canada is not fully supporting us now,” he said. In the speech, and in comments to reporters afterward, he mentioned U.S. disappointment 12 times.

How long before they start pouring Molson down the drain like French wine?

    If they start pouring Molson down the drain, its probably because of the taste and not for political reasons.

    It’s funny that this site is a joke, since it describes the pro-war reasoning so perfectly.

    I don’t like beer, so I guess Canada’s decision not to support the u.s. won’t affect me that much. 🙂

    When they start pouring Molson (and natural gas, and their electricity, and fresh water…) down the drain, we’ll have to start calling American cheese… American cheese.
