Canadian House of Commons brings up "zombie apocalypse"

Make sure to turn your volume up a bit.

It's nothing crazier than what Republicans on the other side of the border are bringing up.

Canadian Parliament has a better sense of humour, too.

Heh. While it's nice to know Canada aims to remain zombie-free, how are they going to cope when there's 300 million just across the border?

Have some context.

It saddens me when they cancel zombie exercises just because muggles with no imagination can't see the purpose.

Makes more sense when placed in context, thanks. I would think they'd be no shortage of alternative scenarios they could build their exercises around - a warband of Orks, time-travelling terminator terrorists, dinosaur stampedes or a full-scale invasion by the legions of Hell are a few that spring to mind.

Yeah eh,

My house is wired up with explosives thurr en I got some guns here eh, lets see them zombie bastards invade this shit here eh.

If you replace zombies with "disgruntled protesters", "impoverished people" or "invading illegal aliens", it'll make a whole lot more sense.

^ Can't argue with that since it's what zombies arguably represent, in addition to "commies" (which are a type of "lower class upstart"). I don't see what kind of thinking out of the box it could bring out other than preparedness for a state of prevailing xenophobia and repression.

Nah, zombies aren't commies. Commies are aliens. Scary little men with huge brains.
