Canada Rocks

My wife loves Canada. She tells me every time she hears about one of their great political moves that we are packing up and heading to Canada. I have a hard time arguing with her. However, one of our kids I had with my ex and some how I don't think she would be very keen on me running off to Canada with my daughter and I certainly am not willing to leave her. So here we stay jealous of how it seems that intelligent, tolerant, and fair minded people are so close and yet so far.

For those of you who have not heard of Fred Phelps he runs a "church". He and his followers (mostly his family) attend events like gay prides, marches, and recently soldier's funerals. They like to hold signs like this:

I have personally had to deal with this while participating in the Millennium March on Washington in 2000. The hatred these people spew is incredible. I applaud Canada for taking a stand against this man. Although I must say I wish they had let him in and then maybe we could have revoked his citizenship or something.
