Canadian PM mistakenly recalls D-Day invasion of Norway

[Double Tap]

Prime Minister Paul Martin is not afraid to rewrite Canada's military history. At least, that's how it appeared when he spoke to soldiers on Wednesday.

Addressing troops at CFB Gagetown outside Fredericton, N.B., Martin was recalling Canada's contribution to the 1944 liberation of Europe.

"Sixty years ago, Canadians were working alongside their British and American allies planning for the invasion of Norway and the liberation of Europe," Martin said without batting an eye.

In fact, the slip-up seemed to cause little stir throughout the room, even though it is a famous fact of history that Normandy, not Norway, was the scene of the famous landings.

Then, a few minutes later, Martin underscored his point.

"Today, it is every bit as important that Canada step forward -- just as we did during the invasion of Norway," he said.

Despite a distinction of at least 1,000 kilometres and two national identities, Martin's gaffe again went largely unacknowledged.

There were whispered murmurs among the prime minister's aides.

Martin's visit to CFB Gagetown -- the latest stop on a countrywide campaign-style swing -- was the first by a Prime Minister. In his speech, Martin went on to outline his military priorities.

"The purpose of today was to put the role our armed services play, domestically and internationally, into context," he said.

Take your snappy insolence and apply it somewhere worthwhile. Preferably in the corner, with a laundry hamper over your head. I don’t think you have EVER made a single constructive argument, posting, or anything of the sort. You are driven by a simple objective of igniting anger. How ironic you claim trolls plague this forum. It is so easy to see through your feeble attempts at aggravation. I am going to have to recess back into the primordial soup before anything that comes out of your mouth seems half funny or intelligent for that matter.

Sound like he's a moron. :cantbeli:

Awwww. ducimus is all butt-hurt now.

He can spew endless hate-speech against all things American but can't take the heat that it generates.
Take your whiny little ass out of here for good you pussy.

HE won’t be able to compete with Chrétien! Let’s count our blessings though, we could have BUSH. I am satisfied that our Prime Minster can put together a single cogent argument and coherent sentence.

Some Famous Bush Quotes:

I’ve coined the words misunderstanding and hispanically

I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe-I believe what I belive is right.

I know the fish and human being can coexist peacefully

I’ve got a preference for friends

It's clearly a budget, it’s got lots of numbers in it.

2.5. Don't direct post gory or graphic images. If you must post such things, only provide a regular link with a large warning as to what to expect when someone clicks on it. Users that continue to post such images after a warning will be banned.

I don’t need to see some girl pour maple syrup all over her misshapen breasts. Please refrain from posting images such as this without a warning beforehand. The forum rules clearly stipulate this is not allowed.

I would prefer if you didn’t fill the forum with these irrelevant photos that add nothing to the discussion at hand. Please remove the image entirely as an indication you are recognizing your breach of forum policy. If I am warned in any matter, I respectively withdraw and do as told. I expect other forum members to do the same.

Go back to the front page...read about the pancakes...

If the Mods tell me to take it off, I will.

Simply put, its not something I want to see. If I want to see crap like this, I will go to your run of the mill 'humor' site. Not a big deal, just provide a link next time so I don't upchuck on my desk.

Look who's talking. :roll:

What he posted obviously offends and upsets you duci. tsk, tsk, tsk.
Would you like him to stop?
Would you like him to post it somewhere else?
Does any of this sound familiar?
Why don't you complain to the mods.

[Uncle Sam]

Hey Trigger, let's invade Norway...For sh*ts and giggles...

[Trigger]

OK...I'll bring the syrup.

If you are referring to my sig. of some time ago, the forum rules clearly state that an image representing such subject matter is not against forum policy. Nonetheless, some individuals were upset with the context, and I respectively removed it despite overwhelming support for me keeping it. If you cannot see the clear distinction from an image depicting foreign policy and vulgar obscenities such as the image displayed here, I feel sorry for you. Can you not discern the difference between the subject matter and purpose of displaying these images which are evidently different? My sig. for one is a testament of my response to George Bush’s foreign policy. The image was in no form a breach of forum policy. This image however, adds nothing to the discussion at hand, and clearly is acting against militaryphotos.net regulations. Therefore, your correlation is unsound, and the image should be removed, simple as that. I did not think I needed to go into this significance of detail, but your lack of cognitive ability has once again amazed me. Well done.

huh?
Sorry, I couldn't read anything past the 'overwhelming support' part as I was laughing too hard and my eyes were watering...

OK

All better now...what were you saying?

Oh, nothing important as usual I see.

I like pancakes. Just sayin'. Sugar instead of syrup though.

I'm thinking politicians are all equally stupid nowadays. Are you a politician? You write like one. :lol:

[ShotOver]

Oooww.. Poor ****less19, got well and truly burnt.

[dacanadianbomb]

It is amazing how politicians dont think what they are saying.
I would love to see someone smuggle somethign nasty in there.

[ joking starts here ]
I apologize to all Norwegians for my forfathers screwing up your day by invading you.
Actually the reason nobody knows about the fact that Canada invaded Norway is that they just couldnt accept the idea that Canada would do something so violent.

The fishers were standing off the pier and said ( pre-translated into english ) Look there mate , is that them Canadians ?,
" Naah , cant be them , they would never do such a thing !"

Many a norwegian was arrested afterwards for constantly asking the Canadians to admit that they werent Canadians but Swedish or Finish.

[joking ends here ]

Lol - M.Martin for the love of all things Canadian dont let that every happen again. That seriously damages our reputation, not unlike Bushes -Bushisms . Which I must say are the most interesting and funny thigns ever asid by a politician in my life.

[mocking_loudly_died]

It's about time we invaded Norway, those viking bastards are going to get owned.

Word.

[Fox2]

As long as we Coalition of the Twisted share the chicks equally.

[dacanadianbomb]

Actually I think we shoudl attempt to invade the Danes to stop them from raising there flag on our territory - LOL.
I cant believe that stuff.Its a rock, no life there .
We should send some SeaKings to the Danes to teach them proper respect for our territory.
I would be seriously scared of someone who actively uses those things, and plans to use them till 2012 ( i think that was the date ? )
" Woa buddy , better not mess with those guys, they are right out to lunch. No end to what they might do with those things"
all in fun peeps.
edit: Ic ant even remember what the thigns are called, hawks or kings ?
