Lefties and Anti-Americanism on Canadian Campuses

The Halifax Herald reports strong anti-Americanism against American students studying at places like University of King’s College in Halifax. Here’s a typical example:

Sometimes the joke goes too far. When Julia informed someone that her father consulted for the Bush administration, the response she got was: “Can I have your house address for letter-bombing purposes?”

What’s ironic is that most of the American students interviewed for the story are liberals who generally oppose George W. Bush’s policies.

The best way to make them Bush voters is to exhibit the kind of knuckle-dragging anti-American discrimination like that reported in this article.

Meanwhile, Daniel J. Mahoney reviews Bernard Henri-Levy’s book, Anti-Americanism.
