Michael Moore Statement on Canadian Election

Michael Moore is currently in production on his next movie. As an avid lover of all things Canadian, he has issued the following statement regarding Canada's upcoming election on Monday:

Oh, Canada -- you're not really going to elect a Conservative majority on Monday, are you? That's a joke, right? I know you have a great sense of humor, and certainly a well-developed sense of irony, but this is no longer funny. Maybe it's a new form of Canadian irony -- reverse irony! OK, now I get it. First, you have the courage to stand against the war in Iraq -- and then you elect a prime minister who's for it. You declare gay people have equal rights -- and then you elect a man who says they don't. You give your native peoples their own autonomy and their own territory -- and then you vote for a man who wants to cut aid to these poorest of your citizens. Wow, that is intense! Only Canadians could pull off a hat trick of humor like that. My hat's off to you.

Far be it from me, as an American, to suggest what you should do. You already have too many Americans telling you what to do. Well, actually, you've got just one American who keeps telling you to roll over and fetch and sit. I hope you don't feel this appeal of mine is too intrusive but I just couldn't sit by, as your friend, and say nothing. Yes, I agree, the Liberals have some 'splainin' to do. And yes, one party in power for more than a decade gets a little... long. But you have a parliamentary system (I'll bet you didn't know that -- see, that's why you need Americans telling you things!). There are ways at the polls to have your voices heard other than throwing the baby out with the bath water.

These are no ordinary times, and as you go to the polls on Monday, you do so while a man running the nation to the south of you is hoping you can lend him a hand by picking Stephen Harper because he's a man who shares his world view. Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest? Is that how you want millions of us down here to see you from now on? The next notch in the cowboy belt? C'mon, where's your Canadian pride? I mean, if you're going to reduce Canada to a cheap download of Bush & Co., then at least don't surrender so easily. Can't you wait until he threatens to bomb Regina? Make him work for it, for Pete's sake.

But seriously, I know you're not going to elect a guy who should really be running for governor of Utah. Whew! I knew it! You almost had me there. Very funny. Don't do that again. God, I love you, you crazy cold wonderful neighbors to my north. Don't ever change.

(Mr. Moore is not available for interviews because he now needs to address the situation in Azerbaijan. But he could be talked into it for a couple of tickets to a Leaf's game.)

I think the Conservative's ads are very effective for most Canadians that don't really know what Harper really stand for... A strange thing tho is I see Conservatives, Bloc, NPD and green party ads all the time.. but I dont think Ive seen 1 Liberal ad yet... Anyone else?

Nice message. :)

Fuck Harper. :321GFY

i'm voting liberal on monday, harper is fucking scary.

I'm voting liberal for sure too....

The liberals really fucked themselves over with that scandal, and I think alot of Canadians feel the conservative party is the only other choice.

Michael Moore gets famous editing quotes to make you think repulicans use dirty scare tactics to get your votes. He then writes letters to canadians using nothing more than scare tactics to get them to vote a certain way.

""Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest?""


Funny thing, most young kids, keyboard warriors and high school drop outs in America will not catch the irony.

Fuck Moore.

I like Moore's line:

"Far be it from me, as an American, to suggest what you should do. You already have too many Americans telling you what to do."

------------------------------

Then he proceeds to tell Canadians what to do. What a dumb ass.

:1orglaugh

I guess after feeling irrelevant to the election process in his own country, he wants to go on to repeat the feat in the North.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Kill Harper.
Simple and easy solution. Put a bullet in his brain. Because we know he doesn't have a heart.

I'm want to put up a paypal donate button.
Lets hire a hit man and just end this sick nightmare.

$3,500 is the quote I got to have this asshole rubbed out.
And that's $3,500 Canadian. A bargan if you ask me!

Ill add this story to my Mikey Moore site tonight. Hate that fat fuckin whale. Too bad he wasnt the one on the barge today.

www.nomooreantiamerica.com

might i suggest you use a fake nick when making threats? posting shit like that with your phone# in your sig isnt smart

i don't like the guy but i agree with him. and don't take everything he is saying so seriously. hes also joking around....

its too bad this scandal thing had to happen...after the last election conservaties or tories (whatever you want to call them) didn't even have enough seats to be considered a party anymore. the only way they survived was by partnering with the bastard child of the reform party, the canadian alliance party.

they were also smoked by moron liberal mcginty in the last ontario provincial election after conservative harris made such a mess of things. it seems people really regret it after they elect these conservative people into power. conservatives haven't been voted in since mulroney upped taxes 7% on everything with his beloved gst.

I forwarded this information to the RCMP. And I am not kidding.

So you're publically advocating, condoning, endorsing and encouraging someone to assassinate a public figure? I'm no fan of Stephen Harper - but how fucked up are YOU?

I'm not sure who is the bigger asshat here - you or Moore.

Too close to call.

:thumbsup

Even if said in jest, which it likely was...it was still extremely assinine.

No matter who is charge we are still fucked..

I tend to agree.

This thread needs to be closed now.

Leggs, good one you tool. Better make sure theres nothing hangin around your house the cops may find interest in.

Bring it on baby.
I'm sure the guy gets a thousand of these a day.

this guy must be losing his audience in the US and France to suddenly care about Canada and their elections. maybe ignorance and intollerance isn't selling as well as it used to.

please do not vote for harper.. please do not vote for the marijuana party or the green party

As in the U.S, Michael Morons condemnation usually ends in victory for that candidate. Hopefully that will be the case in Canada....

Perhaps Harper can do some things to rebuild your military and quit funding the state sponsored proganda network, the CBC.

Hopefully directfiesta and Paul Waters will throw themselves off a bridge so we don't have to listen to their boring, humorless, and repetitive whing about Bush.

I'm voting Harper.


It's time Canadians had a backbone.

rebuild our military to help the states?
or rebuild the military to go into extreme debt?
rebuild the military for what wars? just in case?

or just because "if the us decided to blow us up they could" ?

by giving in to american commands?
haha.. funny stuff

Your "position" in dealing with terrorists and other enemies seems to be bent over with your ass cheeks spread..... and let the U.S. military protect you.

Harper is a moron

i guess you haven't seen bowling for columbine.

Voting for the Bloc this Monday!

:thumbsup

see sig...

no really, read it, the first part...

Liberals had a large lead when these elections were called.

I can't believe the Conservatives could actually win by a majority.

I am truely shocked!

I am voting for the bloc.

nope. not a big fan. i have no use for the rants of someone who is more of a lunatic than the lunatics he is trying to draw attention to :)

Hahhhahahah as always Michael Moore has hit the nail on the head.

Uh Oh, he's in for the tickling of his life!!

i've always wondered what election results would look like without the bloc. you guys are electing your representative but it would be interesting to see who quebecers would vote for if the bloc wasn't a choice since a huge chunck of votes go to someone who will never get enough votes to be elected PM based on population alone.

And your "position" on dealing with ANYTHING is... If you don't have a good reason, LIE, do it anyways, and dodge questions later. Sounds like a great fucking policy. Idiot.

Like the rest of the world, the Islamofascists consider Canada a weak and impotent country of no immediate threat, and thus a lower priority target. I'm sure they enjoy your open borders, free third rate health care, and international banking system.

It will be very interesting to see how your country deals with an attack from Islamofascists when it finally does come. And rest assured that even with your appeasement policies, unless you are willing to convert to the Muslim religion and turn into a Taliban like state, the day will come.

I'll refrain from the name calling. You're not even worth it...

Better to be a fat fuckin whale that speaks the truth than a fat fuckin whale thats a drug addicted 3 time divorced criminal.

I have no doubt that Harper will be elected on Monday and it scares the hell out of me.

The thing is though, people aren't actually voting FOR the conservatives, they're voting AGAINST the liberals....

:Oh crap

Confess! You secretly love everything Halaal. Come out of the closet already!

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Michael Moore is an idiot, it's sad that he has so many naive people fooled.

Welcome to the world of board trolls ... and you just folded to his bluff

I'ma definitly vote libreal. I would have voted for the bloc but in theses hard times they'll need the votes.

Reminds me of those old television comercials where I guy would say, "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.", then he would proceed to give me medical advice.

uhm that site is a failure; it has the biggest mistake all the bush lovers make:
They can't seperate america and the president. Its not anti-america, its anti-bush.
