Canada: Mooamar quadaffi (ghadaffi? kadafi?) tells us to piss off :(
 

Oh no! Now we've gone and done it. We've agitated the crazy old coot in Libya to such an extent that Canadians are now no longer welcome in that fair land.

No longer can we go to the shores of Tripoli. How does this affect us? After the embarrassing performance Khadaffi put on at the UN last month, and the way the Lokerbie murderer was welcomed, do we really care? Can we live with this rejection?

I'm concerned that this guy currently chairs the African Union.

Gadhafi tells Canadians, you're not welcome in Libya

OTTAWA - Canadian travellers have been told they're not welcome in Libya, in an apparent reprisal for Canada's near tongue-lashing of Moammar Gadhafi.


Gadhafi cancelled a planned stopover in Newfoundland last month after the Harper government made public its intention to scold the Libyan leader over the hero's welcome Libya gave a man convicted in the Lockerbie bombing.


Since then, Gadhafi has made clear to officials within Libya's travel visa offices that no visas are to be granted to Canadians wanting to enter the country.


That has left some Canadians who were part of recent tourist groups travelling in the Middle East and North Africa in the lurch.


Canada's Foreign Affairs department says it is aware of the problems, and that Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon raised the issue when he met with Libyan officials last week in Tripoli.


Gadhafi drew international rebuke in August for throwing a huge welcome-home party for Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was released from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds.


The national fete for a convicted terrorist outraged many, especially the relatives of the 270 victims killed in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.


A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the action "constituted an insult to all the victims who died, including Canadians."

Eh, he's still pissed from the last time the free world put a smart bomb through his window and killed his family.

I am going to have to change my travel plans...

Where this will have an impact is in the oil industry... Harper's power base. Nobody else is going to care.

does anybody with a brain really give a shit what he thinks?

I still says he looks like Scar from the Lion King.

He totally does! How bizarre.

Maybe he would forgive Canada if a heroes welcome is thrown for Omar Khadr pending his return, which is apparently what most people in Canada want.

how many times do we have to go over this? ....he looks like Carlos Santana

And I have a theory that Carlos has Canadian roots. Way back when the Earth experienced its most recent polar magnetic reversal, Canada was actually Mexico during that period. I rest my case.

that would 'splain a few things....

...he's looking for a Black Magic Woman so he can continue the Circle of Life?
