Canadian Ambassador One-Ups American!

How you might ask, he met with Canadian Teachers in Seoul. I read it in the K. Herald today. I can't find the link yet on the Internet.

Being from America, I wonder when an American Ambassador might get thy head out of thy Ars?

To be honst, nobody gives a rat's ass about the Canadian ambassador. To understand the reasons take a walk down to Gwanhwamun and look at the US Embassy. Now, try and find the Canadian one. Then ask yourself the following questions:

1. Which embassy has the armd police and heavy military vehicles guarding it and which one is a small, unguardded office on the whetever floor of an office building.
2. Which one needs barbed wire and 4 meter high defensive walls and which one needs a glass door for security.

The Canadian ambassador really doesnt have much to do here. Its not like anyone really cares.

Yeah, obviously the ambassador isn't doing his job, if no one wants to kill him.

No, its just that the Canadian ambassador doesnt have much to do. Nothing to do with someone wantong to kill him. The Embassy he runs is small, has very little work outside doing mundane passport renewals, visa processing etc. I mean can YOU think of things the Canadian ambassador would have to do in Korea? Does the Korean government ever consult the ambassador on anything? Be objective.

You mean like marketting the new Caddy crossover vehicle on public time and using his post to launch his wife's bag design business?

Another irony I found today....
not about the canuck ambassador but the US embassy as a whole....Why is it that soldiers/ contractors and their dependents get preferential treatment at the embassy and the ambassador is always making "courtesy calls" to the personnel of USFK (even going as far as Wonju to make an appearance) while the businessmen and teachers who work here have to wait in the longass lines with the rest of the population?

I found out that even Canada has a better record of looking after its own people overseas than the US does........so much for being a superpower, huh?

Hey he's American. You must be the most insecure person on this board.

Actually, they have to do a lot with trade and the like. We were talking with them last night, and less than half even deal with immigration and passport stuff. How do you know whether the ambassador gets consulted on anything, have you asked him. Be objective.

Nah, the Canadians are considering how many times they remind people of Canada this, Canada that.

I agree with several of the other posters on this thread, guess the Canuck envoy finally decided to do something here.

The American ambassador is too busy ticklin a mad jazz number out of the piano in Apgujeong.

Yes, the American ambassador is an accomplished jazz pianist and has given performances before. I for one am proud of the image he's presenting!

Well if Jinju and Yaya are representative of American citizens, I imagine the US ambassador would be spending a lot of his time on his knees promising to teach his people some manners.

Yes, I am American and so far I'm dissappointed in the Americans on this board that are trying to make excuses for our Ambassador doing nothing to support us American Teachers!

Hi,
The reason the American Embassy is so well-guarded is because it is the building representing the most trouble-making country on the globe!
America maintains to the world press it really wants world peace...but in truth it knows that world peace would spell economic disaster for the nation!
A quick look tells you AT LEAST 35% of the GNP and DNP is directly connected to the design and manufacture of munitions, weaponry, vehicles and machines of war. Not to mention the millions who are employed in these fields AND those in the four branches of their military! World peace would bring this all crashing down! They want world peace??? NOT HARDLY!!!!!
America recognized decades ago that it was their involvement in WWII that finally brought it successfully out of the Great Depression. These maggots secretly vowed then they'd NEVER go back to a peace-mongering nation again. WHY????? Simply because there's NO MONEY IN IT!!!!
They "stir the stick" across the globe and THEN go in selling their military hardware, fighter planes, battle ships, guidances suystems, land mines, bombs, etc. etc. etc.
The world KNOWS what America IS!!!
This is the reason America has so very many enemies! This is the reason they need their embassies guarded!!!
The American Embassies across the globe will always need to be guarded....until they GO HOME and STAY HOME...and learn to mind their own business!!!
This war-mongering nation America is the hemmorhoid in the a**hole of the world!!!
