But on this point:

I just feel Canadians should be commenting more on this story.

We have, but keep in mind we're rather outnumbered.

If you read the threads in LBN, you'll find a rather overwhelming consensus among the Canadian posters: this was not the work of Karl Rove, our police/intelligence services were not acting on orders from Washington, this is not fake news designed to turn us all into quivering compliant sheep, Stephen Harper is not George Bush, and whatever else we can think of to counter the enormous mountain of utterly uninformed and US-centric bullshit being directed at this story around here.

Canadians at DU whom I despise, and who despise me, are saying the same thing I am. Most of them are Canadians whom I consider to be hopelessly right-wing, of course -- but I don't think they're stupid.

But what we are getting from our USAmerican friends here is the distinct message that we ARE stupid, we Canadians. That not only do we have no politics or history or culture of our own, we're too dumb to figure that out.

It gets really tiresome.
