Canadian Apology to theUnited States of America.
From the CBC Television program
"This Hour Has 22 Minutes" - Rick Mercer

"On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to theUnited 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 that
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."

I don't think this comedic parody on a government financed TV network represents the way true Canadians feel about our U.S. friends. When I say "true", I'm referring to the majority of the taxpayer base who fiscally carry the greatest burden, so our majority of Liberal party supporting residents can enjoy the best welfare system in the world, combined with free universal health care.

Jean Cretien is a lame duck Prime Minister on his last term, who behaves like an aging monarch and possesses some of the worst foreign policy acumen in country's history. He thought Taiwan was in the middle east and was an absolute embarrassment when he visited Israel and put his foot in his mouth day after day. It took him 30 days to decide that 9/11 was a bad thing (needed to take some polls to check first), then when he did comment on it he ostensibly blamed the victims for being arrogant in their political polices. His government ministers are just as bad, continually distinguished by their constant scandals and corrupt patronage practices. Most of them couldn't get a job outside of government and the Liberals only survive in power because we have no substantial opposition party to get rid of them. Cretien is celebrating is 40th year in the federal government which just about sums up why he's as bad as he is. He's never had a real job or had to work a day in his life.

I used to be proud to be Canadian, but now I'm simply ashamed and embarrassed[/url] to tell anyone where I'm from.

I'm really sorry that the 4th ID went to Iraq. I was hoping they'd cross the border and liberate us from the petty little benevolent dictatorship we've got running up here. I guarantee you, other then the assorted terrorists we've imported under our ludicrous refugee practices, the majority of Canadians would be out in the streets waving U.S. flags as you set us free, so that we'd have the opportunity to restore true democracy to this country. I'm not sure how else we're going to get rid of this ongoing pathetic and corrupt political leadership.

Badger

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our emergency supply of trees to the North.

That is pretty funny.

The softwood lumber line is a riot. That softwood tarrif is the reason for the first of my three layoffs in the last year.......but I'm not bitter.

Oh and SOB .... look NORTH to see that Canuck speaking you idiot! Why is it that you handsomehunk Americans can't find your bellybutton with both hands?
