An Apology from Canada

Kaethra

Additional apologies if this has already been posted...but I can't help myself. Oh and, it's all (mostly?) tongue-in-cheek guys, ok? We really do like you 'mericans up here in the Great White North.

Rick Mercer's apology to the USA

"On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the
United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well
recently and for that, I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't
nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that
he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After
all it's not like you actually elected him.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees
than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper
and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our
excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than
yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I
notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice.

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer
but, we Feel your Pain.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up
against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side.
I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in
against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're
constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which
is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not
upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset
with.

Thank you."

That was cute. I've seen it on the forum once before.

Not sure if the folks will get it, or let alone even know who the hell Rick Mercer is.

Just in case...and if anyone cares, he's a host on the comedy show up here on the CBC called: This Hour Has 22 Minutes. IT IS PAINFULLY funny!

There is one segment that Rick does, and it has been featured on its own 30 minute segment, and it's called: TALKING TO AMERICANS.

It's real and true. Rick goes to the United States, asks just any average American about a given topic regarding Canada, and it's like the answers the Americans' give are horrendous, and sometimes unbelievable. Many of us up here are rolling on the floor at the blatant ignorance.

The knowledge, outside of the USA about other nations, let alone your peaceful neighbour to the north, is pretty sad. Of course not every American is that oblivious, but you have to watch it to believe it.

Some topics posed to Americans:

Did you know Canada just got touch-tone phones.

Should we bomb Lucien Bouchard?

Should we invade Saskatchewan?

Congratulate Canada on getting an area code (telephone).

Running water/indoor plumbing...the list goes on and on.

Well you get the idea. Even when they went to Harvard, and asked Harvard students and faculty, the answers were pitiful.

Oh well.....so if any of you folks need any questions answered in regards to Canada (or Soviet Canuckistan) - ask away, if your questions are intelligent, the replies will be forthcoming, if they are ridiculous...we'll hook you up with Pat Buchanan .

So...in case we are going to be invaded...remember my American buddies...it's north, not south you have to go. LOL

See ya's at the Apostatefests...I'll bring maps.

RAYZOR, we have our own show that does this....on the Tonight Show, Jay Leno frequently goes out "JayWalking" and askes people in Hollywood questions.

If they cannot determine who George W. is or Clinton, why/how would they know Canada is north?! (They show pictures to them and ask "who is this?") Supposedly these are average folks who don't look stupid...they just are.

I tape it just to see these episodes....they are really funny.
