Canadians miss the point

Okay, I live in a fairly well educated town and have a typically well read group of friends. Therefore, I was shocked at coffee this morning to hear that my two canadian colleagues had not heard about the crazy and offensive statements of
Vincente Fox. He said, and I'm paraphrasing here, that the Mexican immigrants travel to the US to take the jobs that even the Blacks aren't willing to take. How's that for an in your eye bit of racial stereotyping there. Well, the truth is for this black he was right, I won't do those jobs. Still, that was an impressive bit of insulting. I'd call it Bush-esque but even Dumbya wouldn't go that far. Worse, he had to apologize to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, two great black heroes. Funny the canadians missed this...
Speaking of presidents, it sound like the PM of canada,
Paul Martin is in trouble. Thank goodness all those canadians don't have any stones.
