Norlock angry about American news satire of Canadian military

Posted on Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Northumberland-Quinte West M-P Rick Norlock is upset about sarcastic remarks about Canada’s military by an American cable news network.

Fox television program “Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld”  made fun of Canadian soldiers, saying they need time off for manicures and pedicures.

Norlock told the House of Commons yesterday the timing was bad, since it occured the same week four more soldiers were killed in Afghanistan.

He says even the worst comics know not to make those kinds of comments at such a difficult time.

    I totally agree with Norlock. I m so sick and tired of Americans and their arrogance, ignorance and inconcideration for others. On the other hand, I guess we cant blame them entirely. Eight years of having a complete brain dead idiot for a president has to have some expected negative side effects on them.
