Canadian apology to the USA

Post by Tsyroc »

:D

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. :)
By the pricking of my thumb,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks.

Thats funnier than hell.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

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! :lol:

Pretty funny, even if he is a dirty Soviet Canuckian. :wink:

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. :)
