First, the newly re-elected Korean prime mimister is in Ottawa to talk free trade. The President Lee Myung Bak is due to step down in two weeks when Korea has new presidential elections. Anyway this sort of free trade could benefit Canada, which has no indigenous auto industry and already buys Korean electronics by the shipload. It would also be a decent market for Canadian raw materials, especially natural gas which powers Korea but which Korea has little of within it's own borders.
I also saw Rob Ford is out. I'm sad. I love Rob Ford. It's like the people of Toronto were watching Trailer Park Boys and went "man, Ricky would make such a good mayor." Then they found a guy who not only had his grade 11, but also his grade 12 and in he went. I mean if you live in Toronto and you voted for him you are an idiot. Not like people who voted for Harper. I may not like Harper personally but there are logical reasons to vote for him. Ford. No. If you voted for Rob Ford you are less intelligent than someone who didn't, or at least you couldn't be fucked to read or research anything before you voted. For the rest of Canada it's been a godsend. The self appointed centre of Canada being run by Ricky. Amazing. This article sums him up fairly well. Fighting reporters, kicking people off the bus so he could use it to take his football team to a party, reading while driving, getting drunk and fighting and a Maple Leafs game, attacking reporters who were reporting on his property extension not to mention falling off a scale. Now he's gone due to a conflict of interest scandal after his last appeal failed...... I guess the judge wouldn't let him smoke or swear. As a western Canadian I do take a selfish joy in watching a city that so desperately wants to be London or New York continue to act like trailer trash (the mayor before Ford once said he was afraid to go to Africa because he's be boiled in a pot and eaten). Well done Ford, well done.
