    Okay. I mean, that's a tantrum? Where's parliament? Looks to me like a sad MP trying to be funny on a comedy news show.

    Now, this is a tantrum in the legislature. And just to show we live in a newly bipolar world where the Russians are just as good as anyone else, I present the Top Banana in finest debating style.

    I'm not so blind that I can't see how our nationalism works. Quite subtle mostly, it can creep in where you least expect it. Especailly when it comes to dealing with the US. Want to see a Canadians nationalism? Talk to then about the US.
    Boy, ain't that the truth. Where I live in Western New York we are cheek to jowl with our Canadian neighbors. Our local economic interests are especially co-dependant. Unfortunately our governments can't seem to agree on the details for an inspection plaza site for a new bridge that will connect our two countries. This is a major travel corridor and this foot dragging has been going on for over 10 years now. Here's hoping that whatever political party wins the election; both countries can set aside nationalistic positions that are impeding progress on this economic travel corridor that both of us depend on.

    Well, it was intended to be a review of all her outbursts against America as well.

    EDIT: And besides, your examples aren't tantrums, they're simply more direct ways of solving your differences.

    Ja Mata, Tosa.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
