Rick Mercer's Apology to the USA
Courtesy of Rick Mercer from "This Hour Has 22 Minutes CBC
Television":
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.
I assume this will tick some people off but I thought it was funny.

The best Canada can apologise to the USA would be to send there the two bitches who insulted Americans so they can recieved a really good butt-kicking.

Only if they send up the much larger number of Americans who insult Canada regularly, with comments such as "Soviet Canickistan" etc. If the international relationship between Canada and the US is so fragile that a couple of low-ranking people shooting their mouths off is going to threaten it, then we have serious problems. Get over it.

I liked this part best, I think:

ROTFL--'I notice you've rebuilt it!' Exclamation point and everything, like it was a surprise.... Too funny!

Pretty funny, even if he is a dirty Soviet Canuckian.
EDIT: And don't they realise that an hour has 60 minutes? Or have they started counting with base 2.72?

Then some Americans really cannot take a joke.
I always thought that was a stereotype, maybe it's true.
Anyway, funny article.
