Canadian Humour
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004“The Canadians are going to serve the President Canadian beef for dinner. Is he eating it?”
Read the text of a press briefing with White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan yesterday.
Now that just tickled me pink! For those who don’t keep up with the Bush administration’s antics in Canada, the US border has been closed to Canadian cattle since May, 2003, after one cow (yes, 1, uno, ein, lone) “Canadian” cow, tested positive for Mad Cow’s disease.
Just the one, hey? Isn’t it odd that there was just one lonely little cow in the whole country - funnier still that it was found by our friendly neighbours just over the border there. A simple and effective way of punishing Canada for not backing them up in their war efforts, perhaps. Nah, silly me, Bush is just a ****ing ****!
BTW, the U.S. beef ban is said to have cost Canadian farmers over $4-billion (£8.5b). That’s what you get for sticking to your morals - it maybe painful but boy, was it ever the right thing to do. At least one Prime Minister had the balls to stand up to Bush.
