Oh, Canada
Smitherman apologizes for comments
TORONTO -- Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman has apologized for calling some members of the Ontario Association of Optometrists ''terrorists'' after a party fundraiser last week.
It's nice to see that this type of idiocy extends beyond our borders. I can't remember the circumstances exactly, but I seem to remember the Secretary of Education calling the NEA "terrorists" also. And yet it's an almost inevitable result of declaring [sic] "war" on terrorism. We're not at war with a method, we're at war with an ideology. For example, we're not at war with the Shining Path in Peru. As far I know. And, of course, we've decided to engage in the fight by using Soviet prison camps and torturing our alleged enemies. But I digress.
