Warin 0 Posted March 10, 2003 Courtesy of Rick Mercer, formally of 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 defence, I guess our excuse would be that our teams were 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 want to 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. P. S. Have a nice day, eh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted March 10, 2003 I have no idea what the piece was aboot, but we Americans feel sorry that our neighbor's navy consists of a leaky sub, and it is only because their bureacrats are dumber than ours. not to mention Bryan Adams and bimbo Pam Anderson, who by the way is now an US citizen. hope her change of citizenship did not hurt your national pride and only object of sexual fantasy. and thank you for Peter Jennings. He looks so much better in ABC than CBC. we are really hopeful that someday Canadians don't have to be drunk to say all these crap like this. note: sorry, just couldn't resist the opportunity.

Anyways, I was tempted to write a scathing reply, but when it comes down to it I like our neighbors to the north. I've enjoyed serving with all the Canadian airmen that I've met, and I'm sorry that things have come to the point that even Canada is taking shots... PS I'm not sorry that you won the medal in hockey, or that the majority of those players flew back down here to the states for their day jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, theWhite Housewas burned in the War of 1812. A lot of people claim that it wasnt Canada vs the US, because Canada was still a Colony. It was however British forces stationed in Canada, therefore they were by extension Canadians Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll keep my eyes open. Our liquer stores usually are well stocked. Out here all the rage is the local Brewery Big Rock. Pretty good stuff.

Jinef 2 Posted March 10, 2003 Well i read the first couple of posts and i have to say anything is better that budweiser, you have to drink it so cold it numbs your mouth so you can't taste it. Even Spitfire is better, and that's saying something! I thought the British burned down the White house, or is it Americans confusing us with the Canadians and then accusing the british of doing it? See i was told by lot's of Americans that we burned the White house in our redcoats, i don't know much about the small but top quality American history.

The US doesnt have a lock on this technique. In fact, even Canadian schools (which are among the best in the world) instill nationalism in the students. It's human nature, not an American invention.
