Ya McKay must feel like a moron, however unlike Palin this is pretty uncharacteristic or McKay.

[bootlegga]

I'm sure he meant Canada and not California, but it's funny nonetheless!

[Zipperfish]

What a dumbass.

[kenmore]

What an idiot. Nova Scotia must be proud!

Wow, a simple mistake.

If that's enough to make a province wince, Quebec must shit itself in embarrassment every time you post.

My best guess at a plausible excuse is that he meant to convey that the countries to which BC and California respectively belong share a national border, and he simply flubbed it.

Or it could be that he's stupid in this area, but that would be surprising in his case.

Or they have a common love of pot and should simply push WA and OR out of the way.

Or, WA and OR join Cascadia and its win-win!

If I was asked what States border Province X(other than BC), I'd make many mistakes answering. Dunno if that's why he was wrong, but he should have made sure before making the statement.

Ya but California???

[Canadian_Mind]

Shit happens, get over it.

[EyeBrock]

Yea, bad move McKay.


But it's better than calling Vimy 'Vichy ridge'. Former Minister of Defence John McCallum didn't know the difference and this is the guy that accused our boys in Afghanistan of 'war crimes'.

[ShepherdsDog]

McCallum was/is a drunk....and an idiot to boot.

Isn't being an idiot/drunk an advantage as an MP? Ottawa seems to be full of them.

Don't forget this one. Can you spot what's wrong with this picture?
