As you know, I don't link much but Ron sent me this link that shows there are some Canadians who have some sense. Just remember on Kim du Toit's proposed map of the new United States, Calgary is with us.
Here's an excerpt:
In the wake of the U.S. presidential election -- in which I cheerfully took a Sun assistant city editor, who figured Senator John Kerry couldn't lose, for $10 (a quick pause to gloat here) Americans disenchanted with President George W. Bush's re-election romp back into the White House, continue to deluge the Canadian immigration website.How anybody can be unhappy with the president's re-election is beyond me.
Bush has my admiration in no small part because he manages to simultaneously annoy France and Germany, not to mention those renowned deep, geopolitical thinkers, the Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen, P-Diddy or whatever he's calling himself now, Gwynneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck.
Thanks to Ron for the link.

Merry Christmas from Kansas. (sorry its late).
I should like to take the opportunity to point out that I grew up in Calgary.
My misery at living in San Francisco is beyond the ability of words to express.
Boy, are you going to have fun when you come back, Cynthia's in the news.

Posted by: Ralph Gizzip on December 29, 2004 05:57 PMI still like Anne Coulter's (fill in blank with favourite part name) take on Bush's win. The gift that keeps on giving is her general outlook on it,just for the reasons mentioned by Mr. Robinson. :)
