Freedom Bacon
Coming soon to a congressional dining hall near you:
In a hard-hitting speech in Ottawa, U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins lamented what he called relentless and incessant criticism of his country, which he speculated might begin to sow doubt about the strength of the binational relationship."Canada never has to tear the United States down to build itself up," Wilkins said.
"It may be smart election politics to thump your chest and constantly criticize your friend and your No. 1 trading partner. But it's a slippery slope and all of us should hope it doesn't have a long-term impact on our relationship."
Wilkins did not name the prime minister directly, but he specifically targeted a comment made last week at the Montreal climate change conference in which Martin called on the United States to heed a "global conscience" and join efforts to combat global warming.
Surgeon General's Warning: Freedom Bacon could be imported from Canada and therefore not subject to FDA inspections. For all we know it might be rat poison. Freedom Bacon should also not be confused with freedom pork or that Michael Moore movie. Did you know French is one of two official languages in Canada? Why am I not surprised? Smoking Freedom Bacon may be harmful to your health.
