Caused by the other "contestants" getting truly hungrey...

It seems obvious to me that Harper wasn't used to having the media poring over his every move, and didn't act in a natural way. Does it matter to anyone, or does it effect how he'll run the country? Not one bit.

It really is too bad the news outlets never cover many of the things that matter; science, technology, things that are actually interesting, rather than the endless drivel the feed us. Especially since all news stories are actually Vancouver stories here in BC, and since I don't live anywhere near the city, I really don't care.

Hockey. At least the news spends a couple minutes on hockey.

Go Canucks!!

How conservative can a Canadian be? I once thought if Pat Buchanan was elected president that I would flee to Canada. But would I flee into another bastion of ultra right wing, insensitive childrens hand shaking, Seagrams swilling, Duct tape using, Stargate filming Conservatives?
Oh my!

Favorite chant during a Timbers soccer game to Quebec players "You'll never be a country!"
funny but mean!

It was probably hard to top the last scandal so they gotta pump the news up to something, take polls with the typical error margin, interview child psychologists and of course the man in the street interviews over this. Gotta sell those papers and get those ratings.
My kid asked me to give him a high five instead of a hug when he's around his friends. I was a little sad but understood.

My Dad never hugged me, even when I was a little kid! Some dads are like that. It's not that unusual.

Had the man hugged or kissed his children at the school gates, the same newspapers would probably be screaming "PAEDOPHILE!!" and making even more meaningless noise.

...Don't you just hate it when the DJ on the radio starts talking after the song starts/before it's over? And other important issues of the day.

Indeed Dogscoff, I was thinking the same,,,,,
And don't even imagine what could have happened when he kissed his kid goodbye, Canada would be in an political crisis by now. And the US would have gathered his military forces at their Northern border to free those Canadian kids from that maniac.........
