The Republican National Committee has produced a sleazy ad for its Tennessee candidate Bob Corker (that even he refused to endorse) which has been the cause of a tremendous amount of controversy in recent days, with allegations of racism on the RNC's part being the major focus. The ad also, however, slams Canada's military:"Canada can take care of North Korea. They're not busy."
Right, it's not like we don't have Canadians fucking dying in Afghanistan or anything.
Asked if he would denounce this ad to the Americans and call for it to be pulled during Question Period on Wednesday, Foreign Affairs minister Peter MacKay had this to say:
Mr Speaker, I would suggest that the country has been greatly benefited by improved relations with the United States as well as other countries when it came to important and contentious trade [unintelligible] and other issues and I would ask the honourable member to perhaps cast his mind back to some of the attack ads that were run during the last election campaign by his party directed at people here in his own country before making these dispersions.
Shorter MacKay: I'm a proud Republican sockpuppet.
If he can't even stand up for Canada, what the hell is he doing as our Foreign Affairs minister? With this and the Stronach scandal, do we need any more proof that he should resign?
