Is funny watching CTV Newsnet try to fill the masive amounts of blanks in their all day coverage of this event.

Fer example the first time they noted how striking it was to see America's first black POTUS and Canada's first black Governor General together fer the first time it was kinda nice. By the seventeenth time it become a little overly smug and equally obvious that they had officially run out of imprompteau chatter (never a strong suit with the newsreader set).

Spud learned a few things, of course.

Spud learned how they flew Obama's specially bomb-proofed vehicle into Canada the day before the event and that the thing is referred to as "The Beast".

Damn, even the guys ride is a rawk star.

Discussions today seem to be concentrated on the economies, the enviroment, Afghanistan, border security and the advent of governmentantally assisted green jobs.

Hopefully, the countries will no longer be working so much at cross purposes as we saw fer so long under Dumbya's reign of errors.

Be Well.

why don't y'all just go ahead and keep him?

Great. He could have stayed in Washington and learned more from having a conversation with the Whitehouse lawn.

Couldn't he make a video conference and reduce his carbon footprint so he doesn't appear like such a hypocrite?

Nice lady but ya really don't want her mad at ya.

Great. He could have stayed in Washington and learned more from having a conversation with the Whitehouse lawn.

~WisGone

Actually, one of the reasons Obama is here in Canada is to learn why our banking system is more stable and less prone to corruption than the US one. That's sommat he could never learn from talking to the WH lawn.

/BTW, the answer there is "better regulation".

Couldn't he make a video conference and reduce his carbon footprint so he doesn't appear like such a hypocrite?

~Shitzu Earache

Ah, the ole Matt Drudge meme, eh?

"Anyone who has enviromental concerns who flies in a plane EVAR is a hypocrite of massive proportions" or sommat.

Spud has noticed how Matt has frequently posted stories like the size of Al Gore's carbon footprint and how much energy a pro-Green rawk show uses up and such and the "hypocrite" meme was strewn liberally about within all of 'em.

And in answer to yer implied question Obama's brought a team of economic, enviromental and security advisors with him to have a series of tete a tetes on their chosen subjects with their Canadian counterparts. Fer these types of meetings, face to face and eye to eye is the only way to go.

Ta to all above fer contributing so significantly to me spud-thread.

Canada's bank system is a joke. Toronto Dominion presence is so weak they had to acquire Commerce Bank to get their foot in the door. By the way, Toronto Dominion has a reputation on Wall Street for hiring immigrants from China

Nope..we got better grass up here!

~Jubal H

True dat.

Canada's bank system is a joke.

~tIMBECILE

If it's a joke and it's waaaay more stable and less corrupt than the American banking system which effectively rewarded itself for preying on low-info, low-income home loan appliers then mugged the US taxpayers to rid themselves of that toxic debt then wot does that make the American banking system in direct comparison?

An unfunny joke?

A corporate criminal cabal?

Just asking.

Be Well.

WooT!

Best. Press Conference. EVAR.

Spud had to stop blogging to give the thing his complete and undivided attention. First impression was that Obama's thoughtful, careful well informed speech was a "night and day" contrast to the swarmy, charmless, flippant ignoranus Dumbya.

Second, the Press conference, which had 40 Canadian and 40 US reporters, was a complete and utter success.

It was a case of excellent questions being answered well by both leaders with insight, charm, tact and a even sense of humour.

Third, despite all of the above Jon Stewart will no doubt lead with the whole "opening remarks in French" thing if he mentions the visit at all.

Obama's reponse that he did not push Harper to further Canada's commitment to Afghanistan but that he did thank Canada for it's efforts to date and did honor our 108 war dead there hit all the right notes.

Obama's commitment to clean green energy and to act as a leader and not as a shirker in terms of climate change was a welcome relief as well.

Both Harper and Obama's reponse to the "thickening border" and "where do you see the US-Canada relationship in 4 years?" questions were well informed and on the money.

Obama won Canadian hearts and minds when he mentioned his 2 Canadian staffers and his Canadian bother-in-law and also when he thanked all the Canadians who volunteered to help him get elected and he got a good laugh when, at the end, he promised that he looked forward to coming back to Canada "when it warmed up".

Wow, Spud is so used to making fun of pols that it feels deeply weird to note when they actually get it right on occasion.

Be Well.

Okay, this is just getting silly now.
--DETHSPUD

obama started his candadian press conference with a joke asking how their forefather's named the country.
no one replied.
'they drew letters out of a hat', obama stated.
all looked on in a confused manner.

'c, ay'
'n, ay'
'd, ay'

It was just a campaign stop.

"""Canada's bank system is a joke. """

A joke? Here's the real joke:

He could have stayed in Washington and learned more from having a conversation with the Whitehouse lawn.

Just because Dubya found the lawn smarter than him (hell, the only reason he cleared brush in Crawford was cause the weeds were mocking him) doesn't mean Obama would. There's a smart guy in the WH now, scary as that must be for you anti-science, creationist righties...

So when I watch the news tonight how much crying & falling out am I gonna see? I need to know if I should eat dinner first for forgo to keep from throwing up from all the Canadian ass-kissing.

Hatebiggot,

I think President Obama will be well-received in Canada, but I seriously doubt the Canadians will be doing all that much ass-kissing. If anything, O should be thanking them for being so patient with us for the past 8 years.

Hatebiggot,

Oh the witty play on name I love so much. Canada isn't even a real country anyway.

"Canadians are ga-ga over Obama"...

What the fuck else does America Jr have to be excited about? For fucks sake, their miserable existence is made better by a visit from some other country's President...

If the mayor of canada came to the US nobody would give a fuck.

Rightwingers, start watching for websites to open, calling on true Americans to come together, law, military etc., it is time to send these whining, immature,America hating pieces of shit back to hell.

Face it, you guys elected a winner this time out.

Deal with it.

One of the people Spud saw being interviewed this morning was actually there at the Dem Convention when Obama made his acceptance speech and in Chicago in the big crowd on Election night and was now completing the trifecta by being part of the group of well wishers on Parliament Hill.

There were, admittedly, a few odd "Free Kurdistan" or "Pay Attention to My Cause" protesters today on Parliament Hill but the overwhelming vast majority were simply folks who wanted to show support and be a part of an historical moment.

It would be one thing if Obama had a long string of accomplishments worthy of getting excited about - maybe that will eventually be the case, time will tell.

It's quite another thing to practically worship the guy when he hasn't done anything yet.

Face it, you guys elected a winner this time out.

That's not a statement of fact. Until he actually accomplishes a few things it's lauding praise where it hasn't yet been earned.

Maybe that partially offsets the crowd that is trumpeting that he is an abject failure from every rooftop.

Is it a minority? I'm not sure.

Hmmm. Just received a scam letter and fake $3075 check from a canadian source. Many USA-targeted scams originate there. Maybe The One is there to fund his "package"?

"Is it a minority? I'm not sure."

Last poll I saw she was the favorite for the Republican nomination.

Apparently when in Canada Obama spent some money on a little beaver tail!

Michelle is gonna be soooo pissed at...

Sorry, wot's that?

A "Beaver tail" is a traditional Canadian pastry that contains no actual beaver bits especially not the naughty ones?

Well, that's completely different.

Never mind.

/Not making this one up, ...fer a change.

From The Article: He tried to buy cookies for daughters Malia and Sasha, but the baker behind the counter refused Obama's money, indicating the sweets were for his children.

As he left, a woman emerged with the one local favorite Obama had heard a great deal about a deep-fried pastry known as Beaver Tail.

Is AP story so had to cut it short.

Actually, one of the reasons Obama is here in Canada is to learn why our banking system is more stable and less prone to corruption than the US one. That's sommat he could never learn from talking to the WH lawn.

/BTW, the answer there is "better regulation". per Spud

Actually--Canada requires people to have a job that earns money not food stamps to prove they can afford a house.

And geez Spud--your #37 post--"sweet as maple syrup"??

Did you get any on yourself there bro?

"Dubya's got a speaking engagement in Calgary next month and is hoping to reunite with the guy who stole his heart."

Albertastan just slid into recession. wonder if Dubya will be able to explain why it's not his fault.

And all yourighties whining about Obama's popularity-ever hear of Ronnie Reagan. Even after his beirut surrender and after he admitted selling weapons to Iran you'd still have been willing to crawl across broken glass to kiss his ass.

It's a great pleasure to be here in Iowa

Meh, Ottawa is a lot like Iowa ...only more boring.

The smartest man in the world strikes again:

Obama has raised the POTUS intellectual bar from the limbo-like levels that Dumbya had let it sink to up to sommat that is rather imposing to the vast majority of the Rtarded mental midgets that post here at the DR.

Hence they make fun of the pauses in Obama's deliberate speech and of the minutiae of his occasional mispeakings but rarely address the substance of his actual words.

Zero.

Ya wanna know how much good that did us when the Depression swept the globe?

See: Previous answer.

That goes doubly true today.

Canada and America have a unique trade relationship.

760 Billion dollars went across the border last year.

Economically, we are like conjoined twins at this point.

Any threat to either country, economic or in terms of national security is a threat to both.

And why won't Obama try to find out who sabotaged our economy on Sept 18, 2008 by selling off 550 BILLION dollars in money market accounts?

Additionally, there is no substance of his actual words - he is and always shall be an empty suit.

~Squiddly Diddly

Au contraire, mon frere.

The term "empty suit" itself is a meaningless empty phrase that has entered the memestream of the Rtards with a vengeance but in truth it actually means less than nothing.

He's the best and the brightest you got and you should be glad to have him leading you in these difficult times.

He's also less connected to the ruling elite who've done America so much harm over the last thirty years and especially the last eight.

Obama, contrary to Rtard ill logic, is really just a fallible human being.

Nobody is expecting him to be perfect.

There's no shame in falling down just in not trying to get back up.

But do keep keeping track of Obama's occasional verbal gafffes and Spud'll be sure to tell ya when he achieves the level of incoherence and unintentional hilarity of "Is our children learning?" or "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter" or tries speaking in Spanish to his "amigo" the Italian Prime Minister or groping German leader Angela Merckl or who could ever forget "You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror."?

The Newsweek article I linked above is a good read. We could learn a thing or two from Canada. More people should learn a thing or two about Canada. It's really a neat country. An under appreciated ("Misappreciated" in Bush speak) Switzerland that shares a border with us thousands of miles long.

Over the decades I've been to Canada hundreds of times and have been to every province except Newfoundland. People are always friendly, clean everywhere you go, and crime very low. Sometimes one could guess that people who bash a country they know little about would be well served to see it for themselves before making up their minds. That's just me.

"Don't oversimplify it, Seth. Alright, I'm gonna run some numbers by you. Knocked Up: $142 million domestic, Superbad: $116 million domestic...that's $258 million out of American wallets going into Canadian pockets where it's blown on cases of Labatts. I wanna read this quote to you:

"When it comes to our broken borders, one always thinks of the fence-jumpers, the Mexicans swimming the Rio Grande to take our meat-packing Jobs. But the Canadians are far more insidious. They can walk among us and no one's the wiser. The Native Americans had a name for evil hid in plain sight. They called them skin walkers. Well, I call it Seth Rogen...in short, Rogen is an economic Bin Laden."

"Skin Walkers"

LOL

"Skin Walkers"

LOL

~AU

LOL indeed.

Spud doesn't catch SNL too often these days but Spud did manage to catch that one.

Funny stuff.

...$258 million out of American wallets going into Canadian pockets where it's blown on cases of Labatts.

To be fair not all of that money went towards buying Labatts beer.

Well played Tater..but I always thought it was
Montreal and a Celine Dionne doll!

Depends on where you start yer drinking from Spud imagines.

Spud once found himself waking up massively hungover and bare-assed nekkid on the corner of Portage and Main with a Rita McNeil doll beside him in the dead of winter.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

^_^

Be Well.

/Don't esplain that one to our American cuzzins, eh?
//Is funnier that way!

Ohh gawd I'm gonna pee myself!!

Calgary?!

They're gonna give him one of those stupid white cowboy hats at the airport, aren't they...?

Sigh.

Agree with *sigh*.

Just saw this on the comedy chan a minute ago.

The reason the British and Canadians don't have a "dream"..as in the American dream...is because we're awake!!

Wanna bet the facial expression will be identical wearing the white hat?

Couldn't have been an inflatable doll... ain't that much air in Manitoba... :)

I was actually on Portage and Main a few weeks ago...was plenty of air blowin through there then!

but it was damn cold air

I was an accidental tourist there a while back due to the "unsettledness" of the Xmas weather...

I think I met the same air you did.

To all Canadian bashers, especially 101Dickhead, F U C K Y O U. I can fill a fleet of 747's of Europeans craving to move to Canada. I don't know how they are doing it, but Canada is handling the world crisis better then practically anyone.

We do go a bit crazy when foreign dignitaries arrive. Prince William had the girls peeling off their cloths in Vancouver. The Pope had the moose kissing his feet on a visit to Fort Simpson. George Bush - on never mind.

And a note to Jubal Harshaw. Love your name and where you got it.

Crisis

RIGHTNUT = big whiner.

~Danni.

True dat.

Where is canada exactly and why would anyone care? I know it's somewhere north of Iowa which means frozen tundra. Shouldn't Obama be going to some important countries like France or Germany or Latvia and leave the small crap coutries for years 3 and 4?

Has anyone commented on how Obama said that NAFTA was bad and PROMISED several times to renegotiate NAFTA but has now gone back on that just like most of his other promises. He now say we have to have free trade. Wow! What a concept. That was what McCain was for and Obama criticized.

Hey Spud if they have a coffee to sympolize Obama's life shouldn't they lace it with a little Coke too?

And wot are yer true feelings about that "bitch Ann Murray too"?

Her music sucks but my Mama, God rest her, loved it. BTW: I suppose I can forgive Canada for Celine Dion given the wonderfulness that is Crown Royal. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

And wot are yer true feelings about that "bitch Ann Murray too"?

The 6 people that saw her last year at the Wisconsin Indian Casinos loved her.

I absolutely just love you. I have many "laugh out loud" moments reading your posts. Everyone needs to lighten up some. There is much "wit" here but little actual "humor". Thanks!
The CR is on me WISGOD :)

Thank you!

what do you expect obammy though it was a marajuana leaf on their flag...he will be back (unfortunately) when he learns it a a maple leaf

Crown royal is crap..try the 12 year old Wisers green label , smooth man smooth.

If it makes CR crap, I'm gonna have to do that!

Easy there America Lite, don't bite off more than you can chew.
If you persist, I'm only going tip your women a dollar every time they take their clothes off for me.

Stripper skanks, lumberjacks, and a bunch of Gordies. You vanilla sallies would throw a parade and worship at the feet of one of our suburbs Town Councilmen.

Bunch of coat-tail riding bitches.

LOL

Buffalo might as well be Canada by my standards.

But I consider Westchester "upstate" so you can take it for what its worth.

Sorry , it's Hockey players and hookers..get it straight.
In 20 years of guiding you 'mericans fishing and hunting..I aint seen the collective intelligence of an outboard engine...but then again, who else would drive thousands of miles to do what I do daily out my back door..and pay me 250 bux a day to do it.

If you looked at the license plates you'd think Buffalo was Canada.
If you looked in the cars with the Canadian license plates you'd think it was Japan.

Fucking Japanese Canadians! The only thing I hate more is the French. Well, and black asians, Italians, hispanics, Germans, Polish, Brazilian Jews, and American Indians.

At least you didn't mention the Canadian brand of womens deodorment that promotes hair growth.

It's called 101hairborne

VMA224 you forgot the 700 billion...... not bad.. to cause inflation and the value of the dollar to drop........

Gotta love all the ignorant people here when it comes to Canada.

You simpletons can whine all you want but Canada is our largest trade partner (they buy more of our shit than any other nation) and of all the countries we import oil from, we import the most from our neighbors to the North. We need them and they need us.

Problem is commonsense, oil from tar sands is very dirty. Huge byproduct waste, massive CO2 output, and burns lots of water.

While obama's men at the epa and energy dept make their moves to name CO2 a hazardous gas, he welcomes canada's wasteful process.

He scourns our fossil fuels, and insists on outsourcing as much as possible. Obama has a hard on for alt energy, and taxes. Get ready for tarrifs, and cap and trade.

Didn't the messiah himself say it would be "too bad" if coal companies went out of business?????

I cant wait for him to go to china so he can break a campaign promise about them too as in buy american....

I think what he said was if someone wants to build an old style, high emission coal plant then they will go bankrupt paying for the emission penalties... or something like that.

The Oil from Tar Sands came online during the Gas crunch of 2003-2008. The price was so high that it made Tar Sand extraction extremely viable. If the price stays low, Tar Sands will fall by the wayside. You're right though, Tar Sand extraction is devastating the local communities in Canada where it takes place. Popular Mechanics (or was it Popular Science) had a great article on this in the recent edition.

P.S. The majority of oil we import from Canada is extracted the old fashioned way via drilling.
