“Far from being a threat, Canada is a major contributor to economic prosperity in your state. More than 1.3 million visitors from Canada visited Nevada in 2009, creating tens of thousands of jobs, and Canada-Nevada trade totalled [sic] more than $1.3 billion. In fact, the Las Vegas Tourism and Convention Bureau Association has recently opened three sales offices in Canada and most major Canadian cities have direct flights to Las Vegas.” — Gary Doer, Canadian ambassador to the U.S., in an open letter to Sharron Angle, who’s been railing recently against the menace to Nevadans from the “porous” Great White North.

Go Canada.
Having lived in your city for a great 6 years, I miss it very much.
With or without Angle.
She does not know what she is talking about. Canadians love Vegas.
News at 11:
Teapublican posse meets Air Canada flights at Las Vegas airport. Demands to see “papers” of each deplaning passenger. Spokesman says handcuffs in evidence are “just in case that traitor Doer is on board”.
If you really cared about the Las Vegas economy, you would be railing against Harry Reid, who with Obama and Pelosi have done everything wrong to get us out of the recession and put our economy on a sustained path along the bottom of the curve. That has hurt Las Vegas more than anything else.
I’m surprised that Angle has such little respect for a country whose currency is called the “loonie”. Anyway, if she does beat Reid the state will have the weakest pair of Senators in the country.
Great idea Jerry M.!!! Lets elect a lady who is anti-casino in Nevada. I’m sure that will teach a lesson. Who needs all those tourists in Nevada, they so often wear shorts and black socks it hurts my eyes. Heck, they even look a little Asian to me. I’m sure Ms. Angle could put those giant resorts to good use, even though jobs are not her responsibility. Yeah Jerry M, it certainly WAS Obama and Pelosi erecting those mammoth condo projects and ridiculous five thousand room resorts. I’m sure the Republicans were all-in to stop those projects, right Jerry?
Can someone explain to me why a candidate that is too frightened to speak to the local press is somehow qualified to vote us into a war? Then perhaps they can explain to me how they worship the Constitution, yet do not allow for Freedom Of The Press. Anyone scared of a reporter with a notebook is not even remotely qualified to be a leader IMHO. This is the era of Willfull Ignorance.
Mike A –
They sorta skim everything except the 10th Amendment (for) and 14th & 15th Amendments (against).
If you go to Penn & Teller’s (outstanding) show, you can buy a pocket-sized metal copy of the Bill of Rights — perfect for setting off airport metal detectors and provoking discussions of what constitutes an unreasonable search.
Anyone watch Rachel Maddow last night do her show from Vegas? She did an outstanding job of connecting the dots. I am calling this election The Great Corporate Swindle Of 2010. You have secret outside groups funneling in cash to Sharron Angle, who is not talking to even the local media. Nobody has asked her about the two wars we are in for example. If she wins she will be beholden to the interests from out of State that funded her, and there is no baseline of policy or ideas to hold her to. Angle is openly hostile to casino gambling interests like MGM that employ tens of thousands of Nevadans. Imagine owning a casino and looking to your Senator for some help and finding Ensign and Angle! I say vote in Reid, and pull up a chair and watch Angle primary Ensign in two years! Imagine the attack ads Angle will throw out.
