Poor Canada!

By Baxter

Since the Chicago Blackhawks have eliminated the Vancouver Canucks from the Stanley Cup playoffs, logic dictates that there must be no Canadian club left to claim hockey's most coveted prize this year.

Says who? Why, Canada's own heritage minister, a pudgy Conservative jerk named James Moore.

Mr. Moore was personally chosen to safeguard the country's heritage by Bush-lite Tory Prime Minister Stephen Harper, even though he apparently doesn't know how many provinces Canada has.

"The Canucks are Canada's team in these playoffs," Mr. Moore burbled on Twitter.

If that's true, we cats have no idea what we saw last night. We could have sworn that it was an Original Six team from Canada advancing to the Eastern Conference finals. A team called — ahem — the Canadiens.

"You could show a little more respect," Montreal MP Justin Trudeau tweeted back to the fat Tory fraud last week.

We cats agree — Montreal must not be Stephen Harper's kind of town.
