Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert, and many, many more. Ford is just a corrupt, sexist slob who smokes crack. It's hard for even him to compete with the industrial-strength awfulness of American Republicans.

It really helps our self-esteem to see that other countries have a few of these too.

given a prime time television show on Sun TV (Fox news north). Seems the conservative cause will be helped a great deal by all of Ford's antics. I heard today Ford specifically walked through the media scrum with his wife even though there was a private exit they could have used. He using the press coverage to his benefit.

The mayor of a large city in a neighboring country makes an ass of himself in lots of ways and probably needs to be fired post haste.

Compare that to:

The Vice President of the country I live in shot a man in the face, then made the victim apologize.

Just one example among many that shows you have nothing at all to be embarrassed about (except Celine Dion--that's a different thread).
