" Somebody last night from Canada made you an honorary Canadian." Michael Moore US comedian and documentary-maker Michael Moore explains his thinking on gun control, American foreign policy, and making movies to eat popcorn to film.guardian.co.uk Andrew Collins Monday November 11, 2002 The following is an excerpt: AC: "Somebody last night from Canada made you an honorary Canadian. MM: It's happened many times now. Canadians will tell you they have a lot of problems and there are. But from our viewpoint, it looks like Nirvana. They somehow get to have a similar culture but with a hell of a lot less problems of the kind that we have. And I encourage people to think about how well it's worked in Canada - they have national healthcare, they have these things that we should be able to have, and they attempt to deal with their racial problems in a different way than we do, and they're not always in a rush to get behind us to go to war and drop bombs on people. I grew up on the border with Canada, and I remember watching the Canadian news as a kid during Vietnam, and you got the truth from Canada about Vietnam; you watch the American media, you didn't get the truth. And so I've always appreciated that about the Canadians, and how they provided refuge to people of my generation who did not want to kill Vietnamese, took them in with no questions asked - it's a very brave thing to do. So I've always been grateful for that." film.guardian.co.uk

"Defence Minister John McCallum bluntly told George W. Bush yesterday to stop lecturing Canada about increased defence spending after the U.S. president urged the federal government and the NATO allies to boost their military budgets to confront new international threats from terrorism and rogue states. The Bush administration, particularly through Paul Cellucci, its ambassador to Canada, has been calling on Canada to increase defence spending and to purchase new heavy-lift aircraft so it does not have to rely on the U.S. to transport Canadian troops." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bush wants Canada to buy more weapons because it will make Poppy Bush richer. As we all know Poppy Bush works for the Carlyle group, a defense contractor. If Poppy Bush makes more money, Laura and W will inherit more money! So what does Boy George do? He tells Canada to buy more weapons!
