Rick Mercer for Prime Minister!
God I love Newfies!
Why do I love Newfies?
They know how to throw a good party (screech and cod-kissing).
They know how to run a damn fine race (Newfoundland Targa).
They don't like you when you make stupid comments about their friends (see above article).
I've been searching for a cohesive argument when faced with the all too common belief from many of my friends that what we (the CF) are doing in Afghanistan isn't worth while or won't benefit us. (yes, they're still my friends even when they disagree with me!) I've often struggled to find the words to describe what we're doing in terms that someone without any military background could understand. Rick Mercer really should run for Prime Minister. I'd like to see Stepan Dion try his style of political grandstanding against someone with the wit of Mr. Mercer. I wonder if he's bilingual?
Come to think of it, a newfie accent would sound hilarious in french!
