Over at The Canadianist, that particular blogger reminds us of how much Stephen Harper intensely dislikes the country he governs. But here's a snippet of Steve's ranting I particularly like (emphasis added):
…The House of Commons, the bastion of the Prime Minister’s power, the body that selects the Prime Minister, is an elected body.
Say what, Steve? The PM is elected, not by the citizenry, but by the House of Commons? Really, Steve? So you've known that all along, have you, even as you've been blustering about how the coalition would undo the choice of the Canadian people for Prime Minister? How utterly, utterly precious.
How utterly, utterly predictable. You lying fuck.
AFTERSNARK: I love this bit, too:
…if you’re like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians.
In an amusing way, Captain Steve is right -- based on the foaming rhetoric over the last several days, we can safely conclude that most Canadian conservatives are grotesquely fucking ignorant about how Canadian politics works. And, unfortunately, Steve did nothing whatsoever to educate them.
Then again, when you're a Conservative, the last thing you want is an educated electorate. That generally doesn't translate well to the voting booth.

harpo didn't just fail to educate them. He mis-educated them.
what thwap said and, he continues to do so.
A-₤µ©λing-men.
I particularly liked this bit:
"…our executive is the Queen, who doesn’t live here. Her representative is the Governor General, who is an appointed buddy of the Prime Minister."
One would almost think he didn't like her!
But, of course, our media can't stop remind us of how just inept the Opposition is. Remember when Scott Reid said "Beer and popcorn?"
Outrageous! Shriiiiiiiek!
oh snap ti-douche, they'll never recover from that quip, how does the brilliance come to you, in the mouth or in the ass?
"Shriiiiiiiek"? I'm guessing the ass.
