Same old Canada, but with new & improved GOP talking points!

Great article from the Globe's John Ibbitson:

Guess what? Canada is completely different from just two years ago. As recently as 2010, this country was a socialist gulag where death panels decided who lived and who died. Today, we are a model of low taxes, balanced budgets and responsible energy development.

What happened? Nothing, of course. The country hasn’t changed at all. What has changed are conservative talking points in the United States.

Then, they needed Canada to be a model of failure. Now, they need Canada to be a model of success. It isn’t rational, but then we are talking about the Republican Party...


...Two years ago, as far as American conservatives were concerned, Canada was a Marxist wasteland. Today, it’s a paradise.

1. Um....I think it's global warming that's making Canada more attractive.

Just sayin.

2. It's still a socialist gulag with the health care plan
