What is wrong with you?

The poster was obviously joking. No sane person in any part of Canada would revel over a natural disaster hitting Toronto. You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that ....

I find the people who identify as "Western Canada" when gloating over eastern misfortunes are pretty much always right wing ideologues from Alberta or Saskatchewan who like to pretend they speak for the whole of the West.

Ashamed? Not quite (at least, not for that reason), but I understand I might have taken the comment wrong. It just seems there is always so much negative energy directed at our city by our fellow Canucks and sometimes it hits the wrong way.

No worries, I was just feeling overly sensitive. This whole situation is quickly becoming a drain. For some of us, this situation has moved beyond funny, but I understand how others are getting kick out of the Gorilla Twins.
