Nothing Funny About It By Rob Anders, Conservative member of the Canadian parliament for Calgary West.
Canada's new prime minister is not laughing.
Humor is one of Canada's most important exported cultural commodities: Canadians are proud of Mike Meyers, Leslie Nielsen, and, of course, the late, great John Candy. Recognizing humor, like hockey, is a Canadian value shared from coast to coast, it is strange to see the fury with which the federal Liberal party has descended on a previously unnoticed Paul Martin parody website.
Satire Under Attack by Max Liboiron and Jane Henderson
When looking silly is worse than looking evil
In Canada and around the world, playwrights and webmasters are the leaders in providing an international audience with new sources of satire. RealStupidNews.com, PaulMartinTime.ca, and TheSweatShopNews.com are all recent satirical e-media sites. A Weapons Inspector Calls, by Justin Butcher (also playwright of The Madness of George Dubaya), A New War, by Gip Hoppe and Right as Ron by Judd Bloch are brand-new plays hitting theaters around the world. Both mediums are receiving their share of flack.------------------------------------------- posted 6:45 AM :: reference link ::
