Canada, the B-Movie, Reigns and Rains

We can be proud that Canada is firmly maintaining its grip on the titles Second Rate Country and B-Movie Society.

Item: We can't get rid of war criminals.

Nice.

No country is as forgiving and as welcoming to the scum of the earth. Even when they are found guilty of minor infractions like mass murder, we graciously allow them years upon years of legal appeals, while they continue to shop at groceries near you.

Item: Canada to skip World Water Expo in Spain next summer.

Nice.

We are surrounded on 3 sides by water. We have more rivers, lakes and streams that any 20 other countires combined, more and cheaper hydro-electric power than most sovereign states in the world and we are among the greatest per capita consumers of water.

Buy, hey! Why should we attend an international exposition on the the single greatest issue facing mankind today? 95 other countires, big and small, rich and poor, are managing to show.

But that would be too easy and and put us in danger of losing our title of World's Greatest Ditherers.
