International Space Station: Canada to the Rescue?

Apostata writes "The following story from the Globe and Mail outlines a proposal of the head of the Canadian Space Agency to seek renewed funding for the recently stripped-down NASA budget for the ISS. He makes an interesting point that - contrary to the belief that the ISS is a NASA brainchild/braintrust - many countries have poured $billions$ into it's development and should thus have a say in whether there should be any cutbacks. Read all about it here."

    Yawn. Of all the pathetic diatribes attempting to get Canadians "angry", this has to be one of the worst.

    I think what we can say with certainty, is that Canadians tend to have serious inferiority complexes

    The most telling part of this comment is the fact that you slam Canadians with your, err, "insightful" comments, and you're then claiming that WE have an inferiority complex. Wow. I think a little self-perspective is in order.

    If my country's sole export was third rate comedians, I might feel inferior about it, too.

    This is just so incredibly ignorant that it really puts the rest of the message into context (not that it wasn't already clear).
