It's almost half July already, but anyway, here is the monthly satire thread. Go for it folks.

Didn't really get the first one, last one's been done.

The rest were pretty good.

Recently, Canada gave out the Order of Canada, our highest civilian honour which "recognizes a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation."

So who did we give it to:

Kim Campbell, a former Prime Minster who lasted a few months after which her party completely imploded, Buzz Hargrove, an auto union worker, and Harry Morgentaler, who committed illegal abortions, then won a court case which resulted in the complete abolition of all abortion laws (Canada still has no abortion laws today), and has been since committing more abortions. Morgentaler's nomination was bitterly protested.

It's a very unimpressive list; there surely must be Canadians who've contributed more.

Well...I know it's a doctored photo for parody/satire purposes but it does expose one truth that we do know. They probably don't have very accurate missile guidance systems.

Tailz that's gold.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly.

Unlikely, seeing as he was invented by two New York Jews. :eh:

I do find it interesting, though, that creative control was taken from them after WW2, when Superman comics became a lot more conservative. During the Great Depression, Superman was mainly pitted against corrupt businessmen and other such Depression-era villains.
