Forums - General - Fox news insulting Canada

I saw this on the news. Lots of backlash from Canadians, leading all the way up to the politicians.

These guys sure are high on themselves.

It's a comedy show. The one guy is on "best week ever". And Esmoreit, the Canadians have an OK military force, but if you think there covert capabilities are remotely close to the US's, your kidding yourself :p.

Maybe the fact that you almost never hear about those capabilities is a testament to how amazing they are.

Seriously, don't underestimate Canada.  It's a great country full of great people... and Quebec.

 

Canda's army isn't that strong but it would be a formable opponent versus say France's army.

The guy did issue an apology:

""However, I realize that my words may have been misunderstood," Gutfeld said in a statement released by Fox News.

"It was not my intent to disrespect the brave men, women and families of the Canadian military, and for that I apologize.

"Red Eye is a satirical take on the news, in which all topics are addressed in a lighthearted, humorous and ridiculous manner."


The other guy who talked about not knowing Canada had an army was forced to cancel his shows in Edmonton.

Agreed. Plus there's a reason why the Canadian military owns the U.S in every competition they have. 

It does?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Maybe this is why we have almost no support from foreign militaries when we fight our wars, because we are a bunch of douche bags.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Military forces of allied countries often will have competitions. Most notably with special forces, as a way for countries to cross train their troops.

I could feel my brain cells dying when I was watching that...



FUCK YOU FOX NEWS! I have freinds in the army I know people who have died in that conflict in Afghanistan, this is the most disrepspetful thing I have ever heard, how dare they, we fight side by side with their men and women and they make fun of us??!! Im litteraly choking up thinking about the people we've lost in this war. Just last week 3 of our boys were killed over there, none of them older then 26! This is a fucken outrage Fox News, EVERYBODY who was in in writing these 'jokes' should be fired and never aloud to have a media outlet to voice their God Damn idiotic nonsense.

It must suck for you to live in a country you hate.
