A few Koolaid Moms have written to Tearfree complaining about her being “hateful” and claiming, “There is absolutely no reason for your blog other than hate.”
Well, sorry but NO! Can you say softwood lumber and Jack Bauer? This blog is sooooo not all about you, Koolaid Mummies.
Furthermore, at the risk of provoking even more controversy, I would like to note that it is the American Koolaid Moms who keep insisting that there’s nothing more to Reject the Koolaid than attacking Mummy Bloggers.
Now, given that you Yanks are currently trying to improve your image in the rest of the world and given that Tearfree is rather fond of Jack Bauer, she is going to do you a very big favour and give you a few tips on dealing with Canadians.
You need to understand that we are very sensitive about softwood lumber – and all the more so when you completely ignore the serious and justified concerns we express about the issue on our blogs.
So, really, if you want to do something for your country, Tearfree suggests you stop ignoring an issue dear to our Canadian hearts and start commenting on the softwood lumber posts not just the Koolaid Mummy stuff.
Peace!

Oh Tearfree.
Lest ye comment on what you have NO idea about.
I'm married to a Canadian, and no, not one of those who claim they're from the north because their Great, Great, Great, Grandfather was born there. No, my husband, a awfully proud Newfoundlander, who gratefully lives here in the states and has no plans on returning to his home country, schooled me long ago on the ways of his people, including this softwood lumber and the queer ways of those from Quebec. So self-centered, those Quebecers.
My husband's Canadian and both my children are as well (they have the citizenship cards to prove it, although if asked, they'll ALWAYS say they're Americans first), so I probably know more about your country by default than you do.
"The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously." Don't know who said that? Look it up. I'll give you a hint, he's an American.
Umm, Sherry your kids are 10 months old and they'll ALWAYS say they're Americans first?
Those are some really advanced babies.
Tabarnak, Quebecers are not self-centered and queer.
Where do you get off?
Eep! Foul language! Or are we allowed to curse in other languages?

p.s. I am Canadian, and Sherry really pushed all the wrong buttons for me too...
p.p.s. I sincerely doubt that the American wife of a Newfie knows more about being a Canadian than any Canadian who actually still lives here...
