PrintWe're now called the ugly Canadian
Some of the most important image-busters in Canada's foreign policy bag of nasty tricks. Read 'em and weep.
VANCOUVER, B.C.—It was really just a matter of time. The deep well of affection and respect around the world that Canada has drawn on for decades has been slowly poisoned by the Harper government, and the Liberals immediately before it, and the world is now taking serious notice. In the words of the famous Yes Men (who pulled off the brilliant hoax in Copenhagen): "We've always kind of grown up looking up to Canada... We've always thought that Canadians were such nice people and had much better policies than we did—national health care and all that. And this is just a real disappointment for us, energy policy and learning that Canadians' carbon footprint per capita is higher than us."
