OMG ! CNN coverage of the protests in Canada

Has even been reported that members of Parliament used language like, "Bush and his coalition of idiots." There are thousands, and now CNN reporters are being told to film from across the street ! They mentioned the one fingered salutes of the protests. On CNN now ! 12:10 PST

[NJ_Lib]

10. I must admit Chimpy was funny...

When he thanked the Canadians who came out to the airport to greet him, only the ones bearing the five-finger wave...

That cracked me up...

There must have been a lot of people bearing the one-finger salute for him to actually notice it...

Way to go Canada...

[nine23]

18. The people out at the airport...

who waved with "all five fingers" were actually from Free Dominion, a Free Republic wannabe/copy-cat group from Alberta. The police set them up with a nice area with good sight lines for their hero *B.

[T Town Jake]

44. "Free Dominion"? What the...

...fuck is that? Canadian freepers? I didn't think such a thing existed. How many of them are there? Five?

[ilovenicepeople]

61. Actualy our per capita ratio of RW folks(we call them liberals) isn't as

low as one would think.We have our share of stupid people to

[Spazito]

64. Actually, they are called Reform/Alliance/faux New Conservatives....

they can't seem to find a name that says what they are, I suggest Republican-Lite, it would fit.

[jayctravis]

67. They say it's his strong suit.

Chimpy is so much more palatable when he's humble. He better get that "folksy" way of communicating working for him. It was touted as his strong suit.

[napi21]

11. I guess they can't shield him there like they always do here huh?

I think it's pretty funny! I know his supporters here will say they just don't care what Canada thinks...or Germany, France, Russia, England...or anywhere else, but I care that the entire WORLD hates our President!!!!!!!!!

[__Inanna__]

12. I agree

and I am really surprised it's being broadcast here at all!

THANK YOU CANADA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Goathead]

13. Just saw a truck on CNN

Huge letters on the side of it:
GEORGE W. BUSH
PERSONA NON GRATA

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Thank you, Canadian Brothers and Sisters!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

14. I particularly enjoyed the "Arrest Bush" sign

Demonstrators protest President Bush's trip to Canada on Tuesday in Ottawa.



President Bush and first lady Laura arrive Tuesday in Canada.

OTTAWA, Canada (AP) -- Holding up signs calling U.S. President George W. Bush a "war criminal" and "liar," a few thousand demonstrators rallied in the Canadian capital Tuesday to protest his visit, the U.S.-led war in Iraq and a host of other issues.

Organizers said about 5,000 people, many of whom rode buses overnight from across Ontario and Quebec, held a rally at Ottawa's City Hall before a planned march on Canada's Parliament buildings. Police put the figure at between 2,500 to 3,000.

"Canada is not against America. We're totally against Bush," explained Fredric White, a 40-year-old who works for an entertainment company, who stood by the Parliament building as the president's motorcade arrived.

"He's arrogant and ignorant. We totally disdain his policies on the war and his treatment of the U.N.," White said. "The administration has an imperialist attitude where he thinks he can take over countries by bombing them."

41. THANK YOU CANADA!

I've always loved Canada, and now I have even more reason! God, there's a part of me that really wishes I lived there right now even though I know I'd miss it here.

[Sparkle]

42. Good going, Canada!

You guys remind me of the protestors at the Repuke convention in NYC.

[Carl Brennan]

46. Thank You Canada. You really lift our spirits.

[Individualist]

47. Canada, you're wonderful

My desire to buy a house in Victoria, B.C. and move there is stronger than ever.

This makes at least TWO that we owe you.

Yes, I still remember when you rescued our hostages from Iran.

NOW HELP RESCUE THE REST OF US!

53. A Coalition of Idiots

U.S. relations historically cool

Randy Burton
The StarPhoenix

November 30, 2004

Popular wisdom would have it that Canada's relations with the U.S. have never been so bad.

It's easy to believe, what with prominent Canadians calling U.S. President George W. Bush a moron and dismissing his international partners as a "coalition of the idiots."

[Yuugal]

54. Oh CANADA!

Support world peace, hug a Canadian!

ps- think you guys can spare a few thousand protesters? Sheesh, 15,000 of you show up just to give Bush the finger? I think I love you all in the great white north!

[CBHagman]

55. Thanksgiving for Canada (after yours and ours)

Canada gave us the Stratford Festival, the Shaw Festival at Niagara-on-the-Lake, four-fifths of the Band (everybody but Levon), Loreena McKennitt, Kate Nelligan, and Sarah McLachlan. But you've really outdone yourselves this time! :hug:

[Gloria]

58. And don't forget Radio Canada International.....

I listen everyday for my sanity' sake.....

[NurseLefty]

57. Canada is COOL!

Thank you for showing King George what you think of him.
Does Canada need another nurse? I hope so, 'cuz after a 1 year of fulfilling a commitment here, I am looking for work in the Vancouver area.
LUV YA!
:kick:

[shakerbaker]

62. I am also a

nurse living just across the border from Vancouver. I have already filled out the BC nurses liscence application. I have researched nursing in Canada. I work with nurses from Canada. There are plenty of jobs to be had. The nurse to patient ratio is greater but he pay is good and everyone is guarenteed health care-although the wait can take awhile.

[RagingInMiami]

59. I've gained so much more respect for Canadians

But I'm disappointed that we can't do that here. There's no goddamn excuse why that can't be going on here. If it happened in the sixties, it should be happening now. What else is it going to take for us to hit the streets.

[missouri dem 2]

60. I love Canada for being a real Democracy.

[Pithy Cherub]

63. America LOVES LOVES LOVES Canada!

Dearest Canada
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We can't stand him/it/* either!
:yourock: Canada! :bounce:

[tabasco]

65. I'm going to Toronto to spend some money and have some fun.

What a wonderful city and nice people.

I encourage all of my liberal friends to cross the border and support our friends' economy.

[jayctravis]

66. Let's hear it for the rainbow tour...

It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts.
Would Evita win through?
And the answer is
(a qualified)
Yes!

[jayctravis]

68. Bumper sticker:

Don't Mess With Canada!

[exsoccermom]

69. Tomorrow when I go to the store,

I shall proudly wear my sweatshirt that has all the flags of all the provinces, the Yukon and the Northwest Territory (and I have been to all of them). Someday, we will go to the new territory. And there are many beautiful places that we still need to visit and may more that we want to visit again. Canada is a beautiful country in so many ways. We always love you and if we can't join you, we've got your back.
Peace and Love

[Isere]

70. Buy Canadian!

Let's make a list of Canadian products to buy so we can support this brave country!

Normally I would list Molson's beer, but they were just bought by Coors!!!

Since the election I've given up Kentucky bourbon (red state!!) in favor of Crown Royal and I've been none the worse for it!

Any suggestions for Canadian products to buy for the holidays?

[Minstrel Boy]

73. "Any suggestions for Canadian products to buy for the holidays?"

Here are a couple of Canadian companies you may want to check out for holiday shopping:

FOR THE BETTER OF 23 YEARS WE LIVED HALF OF EACH OF THE 23 YEARS IN CANADA...WE HAVE SO MANY LOVELY CANADIAN FRIENDS , AND CANADA IS OUR SECOND COUNTRY..BUT MANY TIMES I FEEL MORE IN TOUCH WITH CANADIAN VALUES, THAN AMERICAN VALUES!!
YOU CANADIANS ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!

(opps just realized i was using caps..sorry..)

i am so proud of you canadians who stood up tall against the evil bush..and his evil crimes!!

i have for so many years sang your national anthem , as well as my own, and i must say, i feel more proud today singing your anthem and have vowed to not sing mine until the evil bush is out of my white house!!

thank you thank you Canada, you are the finest neighbor anyone could ever ask for !! you are loved world wide, for your pride and kindness!!

English:

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Français:

Ô Canada!
Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

[Iceburg]

83. Thanks flyarm ... most Canadians do feel it is a civic duty to protest

that which is unjust. Contrary to what the media says, the crowd size was about 40,000 on Parliament Hill.
Please understand that the anger was directed with laser precision at * and his policies. We shall, as always remain close and suuportive of all American patriots.

Salute mon amie.
