Fahrenheit 9/11 filmmaker burns Harper
WASHINGTON - U.S. filmmaker Michael Moore sounded off Wednesday on Canada's election, warning voters not to elect a Conservative government.

Moore, in Washington for the official American premiere of his movie Fahrenheit 9/11, said he hopes his film will convince Canadians to bypass Stephen Harper.

We're trying to get rid of our conservative, you know. We're going one way, you guys shouldn't be going the opposite direction," said Moore, whose new documentary takes a critical look at U.S. President George W. Bush's response to the Sept. 11 attacks and the Iraq war.

"You should be saying, 'You know what? We don't want this country, Canada, to become like Bush's America,'" he said.

1. I just wanted to add this little "Smile for the day" fun item...
I found in the Globe and Mail:

Unfortunately, due to CRTC regulations, Michael Moore's new film Fahrenheit 911 will be released in Canada as Celsius 488. Ed Wheeler

LOL

3. Celsius 488: The Temperature at which Democracy Burns.
Do you think Ray Bradbury will mind?



In reality, they're both addressing
the same thing: Fascism.
