Anyone watch This Hour Has 22 Minutes..? Rick Mercer is usually very funny with his rants, but this one surprised me a bit even for him. All in good fun none the less. 🙂

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.

C'mon, its funny. Don't take it seriously... laugh!
 
Canadian attempts at self-righteousness are, well, pretty pathetic. If it makes you feel bigger than you are, then, by all means, give it your all. Cheers.

I laughed. We like bashing Canadians, and I hope you Canadians like bashing us Americans. As long as neither takes it too seriously, there is no harm or foul. I for one feel the Canadians are our friends and neighbors, they have been there for us when it counted.

The French, however, are another matter.

Uh huh. They win one gold medal in fifty years.

Oh, and last time I checked, it had been 10 years since a Canadian team won the Cup. Oh, and HOW MANY teams are left in Canada?

Sorry for stealing your national game and making it our own.
