It's funny how the tide has turned. Any time Harper made nice with the Americans we'd have people on here calling him Bush's lap dog(ya you Kenmore). Now left wing Canadians can't get enough of their new American mesiah.
It works the other way as well.
How so?
Plenty of Right-Wingers on CKA are (were) huge fans of Bush.
Why fucking prance around it?
The Americans amuse us. We like it when they do something we like.
And it's hard not to notice Obama. If Harper stood next to Obama, it would look like putting a comedic hack next to George Carlin.
Remember, the majority of Canada is left-wing. I don't think it's unusual that the only Left-Wing force in North America right now is getting a lot of praise from us.
It's jsut the way shit works. It's nothign new, you know. Our politics haven't been exciting since the Coalition Scare. What the hell else are we going to do? Look at Norway's political situations?
I have a theory: Canadians are bored. Not boring, but bored.
And we'll take excitement where we can get it.
If Harper coudl pull a "Yes we can" speech out of his ass, we wouldn't need to look at Obama.
We've been bored since the end of Trudeaumania.
