The Imperial Presidency

[Dartz]

An intriguing suggestion has been made: Why should Canadians take part in a celebration of the culture and commercialism of a country whose leader repeatedly belittles our culture and repeatedly threatens to cripple our economy?

So, yeah... no "superb owl" events for me this year, Not even the game itself.

They're having an NFL game over hear later this year.

That'll be a spectacular shitshow.

The last time they played a handegg game here Aer Lingus did what the US airforce couldn't -- made the entire stadium duck with the flypast. Now if only the drone with the Palestinian flag had come *before* the airliner - that would've had some heart attacks in the crowd.

One can expect a large segment of the crowd to be spectacularly hostile.
