Wow...a political post on Will's blog?!?!?!
I don't like the American government. American citizens, are for the most part, nice people, but their government are such frelling mivonks! Seriously, they are such thoddos! :D
Anyways, if you are wondering why I am suddenly dissing the US government, have you heard about the softwood lumber dispute between Canada and the US? Basically what the deal is, is that the USA have been taxing Canadian lumber going into the US and the two countries have been fighting over whether this is legal or not. Well a recent NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) ruling states that this is indeed illegal, and demands that the United States re-pay Canada the 4.1 billion dollars they have lost because of illegal taxing. Now, when I first heard this news, I thought, good, Canada has finally taken the US down a peg. But no, I was wrong. It turns out that the US, being the arrogant Frelniks they are, have decided to completely ignore the NAFTA ruling and continue to tax Canada illegally. ARG, this made my blood boil when I first heard it. It still does!! I know that the US would have made Canada respect this ruling if it went their way! That is typical American behaviour, prosecute a country for breaking the rules, then when rules are set against them, just break them like they were nothing! God damn, they should invade themselves! I mean, they have invaded countries just because they think they have WMD when they themselves have thousands more than anyone else!
ARG!
Hopefully Canada will retaliate by enforcing litigations or trade sanctions. One can only hope.
/random and probably very confusing to read rant

I couldn't agree more Will. I was actually going to post something of this nature as well, but seeing that I have several posts that are somewhat negative biased to the American policies, I didn't want to write too many more. Don't want to get tagged by the CIA. ;)

I am surprised no one has commented on my "interesting" choice of curse words. Such as "Frell" or "Mivonk" or "Thoddo".
I don't have very thorough readers, do I?
