OTTAWA - A Sea King helicopter crashed into the deck of HMCS Iroquois Thursday, damaging the warship and forcing it to return to port.

Quote:

Two of the four crew members were slightly injured in the accident

Quote:

The Iroquois left Halifax Monday, on its way to the Persian Gulf.

While th naive among you may believe this is an accident, it's actually our way of:

a) Appearing to be coperating (albeit reluctantly) with US foreign policy

b) Not actually putting our sailors in the way of US bombs

c) Maintaining the cloak of invisibility that keeps people from doing a WTC or Bali on us.

Stealth nation technology was invented in the years proceeding the Air India bombing of 1985, and has been gradually perfected since then.

Would Canada be willing to share Stealth Nation tech with the UK in exchange for our greatest technological advantage, Tabloid Press Technology?

Asher · February 27, 2003, 14:28

Oh no, our navy is crippled!

Paul Hanson · February 27, 2003, 14:31

And your air force as well, by the sounds of it.

St Leo · February 27, 2003, 17:09

To borrow from space program detractors after Columbia, this is why the Canadian navy and air force need to be disbanded. They have an appaling safety record and contribute nothing to the world. The money is best spent elsewhere.

KrazyHorse · February 27, 2003, 17:10

The air force isn't involved. The Sea Kings are flown by Navy pilots...

We already have that. What we do want are your recipes for deep-fried vegetables, deep-fried fish, deep-fried potatoes, etc. Canadians just don't cut it when it comes to deep frying.

I think that frogger works for the Canadian military.

just look how cunningly he turns this embarrassing **** up by the Navy into a great success that actually boosts Canada's defence.

Japher · February 27, 2003, 17:21

or flying

KrazyHorse · February 27, 2003, 17:22

Hah.

Two minor injuries, but enough damage that the boat has to return to port for major repairs?

I'm glad the rest of the world is so credulous.

Japher · February 27, 2003, 17:22

O Canada; learn to fly.

As if the insults weren't enough to add injury

Stealth Nation Techonology

That's a good one. It's a shame that such techonology cannot be implemented in Israel. We get so much attention that we became like a black hole, nothing that comes near us can escape the attention, even Stealthy nations.

This would have been worthy Yes, Prime Minister material. I can imagine Humphrey Appleby describing it now.

Arrian · February 27, 2003, 18:24

Now THAT was a good show.

Hah! Do I know Canadian politics or what? (go ahead and answer my rhetorical question; I dare you)

Quote:

OTTAWA - Defence Minister John McCallum has ruled out sending Canadian ground troops to any war on Iraq.

McCallum confirmed Thursday that the government's recent commitment of peacekeepers to Afghanistan will prevent it from sending ground forces anywhere else for at least a year

the old codger just deliberately hamstrung the military by announcing he'd be sending a battle group to Afghanistan for a year

We've known that for a long time. Canada doesn't have enough troops for Iraq and Afghanistan and we are scheduled to help in Afghanistan (Germans and Belgians are pulling out and Americans have long abandoned it).

KrazyHorse · February 27, 2003, 22:01

Yes, we've known for a long time...but the government was denying it for a while. They'll string out the rejection of any offer of participation.

First the Army, now the Navy...

Canada - a nation that could have had British culture, American technology, and French cuisine but ended up with American culture, French technology, and British cuisine...

Asher · February 27, 2003, 22:07

Who would want British culture??
Have you ever been to Manchester?

Ever been to Victoria?

KrazyHorse · February 27, 2003, 22:30

The way I heard it was "French culture, British government and American know-how" -> "American culture, French government and British know-how"

DanS · February 27, 2003, 22:33

This is funny. The Canadian timber industry (under an umbrella organization "Partnership for Growth") has been blasting the Washington airwaves trying to lobby for its interests. All of the commercials mention how much Canada means to the US.

Unfortunately, the Canadian government is pissing away that good media campaign on perfecting the stealth nation technology.

monolith94 · February 27, 2003, 23:02

British culture? YECH! Who wants that?

Urban Ranger · February 27, 2003, 23:28

Better than US culture, though.

Nope. We're keeping our heads down. No net positives or negatives.

We figure that you may as well thank us for being neutral; we could be France or Germany after all...

cinch · February 28, 2003, 01:11

Who is the mastermind behind this stealth nation technology?

We've got the ground troops in Afghanistan, the navy's heading back to the Maritimes, and we propose a UN resolution that is the epitome of compromise... Some nice moves if the intention is to keep us perfectly in the middle of the road, no?

But how can Chretien be that crafty?

The Mad Monk · February 28, 2003, 01:12

How is your remaining pilot taking the news?

He's the only one to have even cracked the shell of the supersecret stealth politician technology. Do you have any idea what he stands for? Neither does anybody else...

I love reviving year-old jokes...

I feel like quoting that bit of Sun-Tzu you get when you complete the Hunter-Seeker Algorithm.
