TALKING TO AMERICANS!
Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
An example: "We demand that the Canadian government stop the inhuman practice of placing senior citizens on ice floes."
"Congratulations Canada on the preservation of your national igloo." The governor of Arkansas said that.

I did some research, so it's a show where some guy asks Americans questions about Canadian politics they don't have an answer for.
With all due respect, why do you expect us to know a lot about Canada? Your country really isn't that important on a global scale, believe it or not. Who your prime minister is, for example? Has little or no bearing on our lives.
Not that I'm denying that there are a lot of stupid Americans. I don't have a problem with Canadians, just with wanton America-bashing.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

And what about your imported goods?Captain Lennox wrote:Yes, indeed Comrade Cyril. America Jr likes too poke fun at America Sr. Now, Mr. Ted go play with your imported toys and nice.*Sarcastic blinking*
When the West Coast ports went on strike, entire Malls went empty, because they couldn't stock things that came from overseas.
A hell of a lot of American goods come from China and SE Asia.
