Whisper a little prayer...
Calgary Herald: Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore has accused the oil industry of financially backing the Tories and their "ultra-conservative leader" to protect its stake in Alberta's lucrative oilsands.
Canadians, Gore said, should vigilantly keep watch over prime minister-designate Stephen Harper because he has a pro-oil agenda and wants to pull out of the Kyoto accord -- an international agreement to combat climate change.

Besides, we all know that the real reason conservatives ever win anything is the mind-control rays from Planet Xenor.

But everybody knows oil is evil, so he must be another Bush. Or worse than Bush-- Big Oil is worse than Little Oil, and oil sands...TAR SANDS! Egad. Whatever the hell those are, you just know they're the pits.
So I'm happily looking forward to future combat in Iraq being the job of human-wave attacks by Canadian conscripts with implanted berserker chips, which will be controlled by our American heroes from bunkers in Florida. (We can tell them they are playing a new video game, so they don't get squeamish about casualties.)
