    LMAO, good catch…

  • Cale

    What a maroon!

  • Beer and Popcorn

    The proud American of 36 years plainly states in the paragraph to the left – “Canadians want the facts”

    Iggy is really sucking up to the Obama friendship. He is obviously mislead by the popularity of Obama Canadians have may rub off on him.I will suggest by the time we have our next election sometime this year the tarnish will start to set in south of the border. a major miracle will not help their sick economy and should the Chinese start using those billions of dollars to use against the American economy it will make the Great depression look like a cake walk.What is it about the left they either hate or love the Americans? Elizabeth Chow ran off to San Diego to sympathize with an American deserter who had been sent back.All we hear out of Commando Jack is how good the government south of the border is doing with these great bail outs of corporate America Same guy who was prepared to tax them to hell in the last election.Hypocrisy at its best.

    Oh please. You're getting into a tizzy because the web engineer is using the default flag associated with the “English” option for that web software? And somehow you're blaming this on Ignatieff? Talk about grasping at straws.

    Meh, maybe just call it bored at work

  • James

    Mr. Prime Minister…

    Could you tell Ignattief to communicate in Canadian English?

  • Cale

    It's a shame really that Ignatieff would go to such lengths to pull together a site that gives the illusion of offering anything of substance in the way of ideas of what he and his coalition would do differently.

    The actors are stiff and don't photograph well at all. I'd be getting my money back if I were Iggy.

  • Lynn

    Oh c'mon – this is a real stretch to say the least. Do you know how to read and can you comprehend what you read? He was defending Canada you fool.

    By the way – he only lived in the US for 5 years – what about Gretzky? He Canadian enough for you even though he's lived in the US for years and years and years.

    You certainly are a partisan hypocrate – so partisan you don't even understand what you're reading. Back to school young man – or is Harper/Manning paying you so well you feel you don't need to take a referesher course in reading comprehension.

  • Pat

    Sounds like a great idea to get ideas! Put it out there in the blogosphere and ask in any language you want, a question for PMSH. Great idea if you haven't any of your own.

  • belch

    Hell ya…we should all fear an educated man! The stupider the better I Say! That's why I vote conservative. We don't have any smart people.

  • Pat

    It's a really good idea to gather up ideas!! Put the request for ideas out in the blogosphere, in any language but Canadian English and wait for help. A good idea for ideas if you don't have any of your own!!

    lol, that is pretty funny

  • Sandra

    Hmmmm……does this make Jim Flaherty American? He got his BA at Princeton. Hey Flaherty, speak Canadian instead of your blarney BS

  • ken

    ?? How could ANYONE with a political front-row seat like yours be bored in this decade? If you said discouraged, I would sympathize. ;-) I keed, I keed…

    As Mr Richards pointed out, the US Flag everyone's maligning is simply a visual icon provided by the software system (uservoice.com) behind that site. If instead they developer provided a Union Jack, would it have passed muster or would this instead be a rant about sucking up to Britain?

    Hopefully your readers recall that this is still a bilingual country, in which case a Canadian flag would have to be used for both French and English versions. Imagine the comments then…

    You are sounding increasingly desperate as the weeks go by, Stephen.

    Google onprobation, and look what comes on top. Deja-vu. Liberals mess up again.

  • Greg

    At least they didn’t pick a name or URL that could easily be screwed up.

    Oh, wait a minute.

    What's alarming to me is the “Ask the PM” button, that does not pop-up an email with the PM's email address, but goes to a page that is clearly controlled for content by the LPC. This is deceiving, and further illustrates the Liberals have zero (nada, zilch) morals over how they try and trick people.

  • Ted

    onprobation.ca is a million times better than the taxpayer funded boondoggle which is actionplan.gc.ca

  • east of eden

    Hi Lynn: BTW – learn how to spell hypocrite before you fling it at Stephen. Uh, what does Gretzky have to do with this? I don't recall him running for PM nor do I recall him putting the government “on probation”. Stephen could very well be partisan – given that this is a pro-Conservative blog.

    By the way, Lynn, your writing is not all that good. I spotted many grammar and composition errors – nothing serious but you should not be slagging Stephen for his reading comprehension when you cannot write well. I'd say that you're something of a “hypocrate”, IMHO.

  • east of eden

    Yup – a porn site. As somebody pointed out yesterday, one site is full of depravity, vulgarity, smut, and dirt. The other is a porn site.

  • east of eden

    Oh, yahoo. Ted, we were just wondering about you over at Janke's site. You have been strangely silent today.

  • Omanator

    Gar. If you listened to last nights Press conference of Obama, you could see the glamour falling off. You are right..Slowly even the american Public beginns to see where this man stands. As far as Iggy is concerned
    He tried so hard to be American. You can see how this little “error “occured.

  • Omanator

    And further Mr Iggy just pulled a ” Dion” in the HOC. They voted for Emergency money allocated to the Recession.

  • Brent Colbert

    Anybody notice that the French is represented by the Le drapeau tricolore, is he reaching out to the residents of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon?

  • Paul

    OH MY GOD!!!! This is HUGE.

    Man. Great catch you super-sleuth, you. I wonder what possible explanation there could be for this….

    I mean I can't believe that when designing the software used on this website, Iggy would have mistakenly used a U.S. flag instead of a Canadian one to denote the 'english' language ption. What MUST have he been thinking…?

    UNLESS!!!! He didn't design it. But no…that would be too simple an explanation. Probably just that Iggy is a complete and utter bafoon.
