Ms. Palin gave a bizarre speech to a Hamilton audience recently. The whole thing is on the Globe and Mail's website (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/an-intimate-evening-with-sarah-palin/article1537275/  
Throughout, she shows an appalling ignorance of international (and domestic US) affairs and an uncanny ability to assimilate enough info to drop a few stats. That might lead people to think that she knows what she's talking about, but if you read her remark here she seems to think Canada is in Iraq.  
"I don’t know if you hear it enough from the US, how much we appreciate you, your sons, your daughters, who are fighting terrorists, who want to bring peace on earth, and it is peace through strength that’s needed right now, but the sacrifices made by the country of Canada, as so many of your families making such sacrifice to allow this service in the war on terror. Especially your 142 warriors who have paid the ultimate sacrifice who have come from Canada, our hearts go out to those families and words can not suffice, but we appreciate this. Certainly as a mom of a son having recently returned from his year-long deployment in Iraq too, with the army, I thank you for your efforts and for our relationship there."  
Palin is not someone who has any association with Manitoba. Her husband's ancestors lived here briefly, but let's not get silly and invite that ridiculous woman here.  
Comments anyone? (Please read her speech before defending her).
