wow

Somehow I imagined an Australian PM as tougher. Even the former Canadian PM once grabbed a protester by the throat when thy got too close to him, this move is now known as the "Shawinigan handshake".

What kind of mixed up world is this when Canadians are tougher than Australians? Nothing makes sense to me any more.

Oh, and happy Australia Day.

Shame, that.

Happy Oz day! Though it's already passed for my antipodean brothers. I plan on getting a Cooper's down at the closest Aussie joint.

That said, I have a real problem with the whiney "Invasion day" shit. Big deal, Oz was founded as a colony using military force. Aboriginals weren't using that land anyway.

My (openly racist) uncle uses that exact phrase to justify the Alberta oil industry's policy of displacing natives/raping land in Fort McMurray. k

At least our natives fought back so when whitey eventually fucked them over we could feel less guilty about it. k

Nor have I, I just read it the other day. I don't think it's from a movie, I think he actually said that.

I've seen the True Grit remake all the way through, does that count?
