Canada Continues Time-Honored Tradition Of Being Worse Than The USA At Everything

SUNRISE, FL β€” Residents of The Great White North exploded into celebration once again last night, as Canada continued its time-honored tradition of being worse than the United States at everything.

The latest installment of the 158-year tradition came Tuesday night, as the Edmonton Oilers once again lost in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals to the Florida Panthers, once again solidifying Canada's status as being inferior to the U.S. in every way.

"We weren't sure if we could get crushed by a team whose state doesn't even have ice, but we did it!" said Edmonton center Connor McDavid. "It looked touch and go for a while, there, going to a sixth game in the series. We came pretty close to disappointing everyone by winning it all, but thankfully, we were able to hold on and continue the tradition. This is what Canada is all aboot."

Following the loss, the team received a congratulatory message from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. "I wanted to extend my gratitude to the Oilers for upholding our nation's longest and most well-known tradition," Carney said. "Someday, hopefully long, long in the future, there may come a day when Canada is better at something than the United States. But that day is not today. Today, we celebrate that our proud streak remains intact. So, raise a Molson Ice and eat a bowl of poutine, Canadians. The Edmonton Oilers have shown the world once again where Canada belongs: behind the U.S."

At publishing time, the Toronto Blue Jays had pledged to double the number of games back they were in the American League East to ensure that they would do their part to uphold the Canadian tradition.

HA!

Beau & Crew were just up north of Ontario, Canada to hunt Black Bear and fish for Walleye. One of his friends, a HUGE Trump Guy, asked the owners of the lodge where they were staying if they were excited to become America’s 51st State.

He said it didn’t go over all that well, LOL!

I realize this is the babylonbee

As long as Canada keeps allowing the WEF and China to install their corrupt evil reprobates into power intending to bring down their current middle class free western system to replace it with the CCP and ‘great reset’ model, they will increasingly roll downhill to meet the third world.

But Canada punches well above its size in the sport and the NHL, of course.

I don't know if buying the players counts as Florida dominance in hockey.

From Copilot AI:

Here's the breakdown of nationalities for both teams:

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Canadian Players
Florida Panthers: 13 Canadian-born players, including stars like Aaron Ekblad, Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, and Carter Verhaeghe.

Edmonton Oilers: 24 Canadian-born players, including Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, and Darnell Nurse.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ U.S. Players
Florida Panthers: 6 U.S.-born players, such as Matthew Tkachuk (Scottsdale, AZ), Seth Jones (Arlington, TX), Jaycob Megna (Northbrook, IL), Nate Schmidt (St. Cloud, MN), Mackie Samoskevich (Sandy Hook, CT), and A.J. Greer (Joliette, QC, but raised in the U.S.).

Edmonton Oilers: 5 U.S.-born players, including Trent Frederic (St. Louis, MO), Ty Emberson (Eau Claire, WI), Max Jones (Rochester, MI), Cam Dineen (Toms River, NJ), and Quinn Hutson (Chicago, IL).

Much like golf, bowling and softball.....curling is mostly just an excuse to drink beer. 😁
