MP apologizes for calling Americans 'bastards'
Last Updated Wed, 26 Feb 2003 19:39:52
OTTAWA - A Liberal MP has apologized for saying about Americans: "I hate those bastards."
MP Carolyn Parrish was speaking to reporters about Canada's diplomatic initiative on Iraq. At the end of her comments Parrish said, "Damn Americans ... I hate those bastards."

A CBC reporter says Parrish then laughed as she was walking away.
In a written statement issued Wednesday afternoon, Parrish says she made the comments in the heat of the moment in a private conversation. She says they do not reflect her opinion of the American people.
"My comments do not reflect my personal opinion of the American people and they certainly do not reflect the views of the government of Canada," she said in her written statement.
Late last year, the prime minister's communications director, Francoise Ducros, resigned after calling U.S. President George W. Bush "a moron" during a conversation with a reporter in Prague.
Canadian Alliance Leader Stephen Harper said Parrish's comments won't make relations between the two countries any better.
"They don't do Canadians any good – Canadians who are trying to cross the border for business, Canadians who are trying to sell lumber or agricultural products or manufactured goods to the United States," said Harper.
It would appear that some do indeed believe, that we are bastards.

While I wouldn't consider myself a bastard, I'm quite sure others on this board have branded me as such...
