A senior Conservative cabinet minister has made my Monday by dropping one of the most hilariously WTF statements ever uttered by a Canadian politician who wasn't the Honourable Wife-Beater.

“We talk about Gangnam Style. There wouldn’t be a Gangnam Style if we hadn’t had the sacrifice of Canadians, members of the United Nations who came together with a resolve to ensure that we repelled communism,” [Veteran’s Affairs Minister Steven Blaney] said.


There is no response worthy of such a statement but a stream of Psy gifs.



That's right, kids! You wouldn't have K-Pop if Canadians hadn't battled communism.



Wait, were we even in the Korean War? And, um, didn't that one kind of end in a stalemate?



Anyway, it's a statement worthy of some of the DPRK's more hilarious moments. Also, where are the Tories keeping their stash of crack, and did they bring enough for the rest of the country?

(The Star responds, cheekily: "There was no word either on whether Canadian veterans would be saddled with responsibility for the current free fall down the musical charts that the South Korean artist’s follow up song, “Gentlemen,” has experienced in recent weeks.")

In "Things Canadians Actually Did Do," news, we are totally complicit in the brutal murder of a Chiapas anti-mining activist. So there's that.

Let me rephrase ...

... my already teetering question:

Could it be that some historical amnesia has its place? Sometimes?

I believe complete amnesia, in this journal anyway, should apply to all history the diligent examination of which may undermine sabs' certainty in her dearly held political beliefs. In other cases amnesia will not be granted.

Thank you sir and/or madam. I've been having a rough day and you brought literal laughter forth from my innards.

I applaud and second your proposal and, further, note that we have never been at war with Oceania.
