SUNRISE, FL — 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.
Right, and similar to when the puck goes over the glass or the Oilers lose to the Panthers again, they are ahwoot!
This is what Canada is all aboot.”
I remember when the Bears - Packers game would roll around and whoever won would claim that “Our city is better than your city in football.” Yeah, your guys from Texas and Florida are better than our guys from Texas and Florida.
Sorry, but if the US somehow made ALL of Canaduh the 51st State, that would spell disaster for the US.
Sure, ON had much of the industry in Canaduh but, like the US ‘rest belt’ business is gone. With Marx Carney’s focus on ‘net zero’ carbon emissions, unlike under Trump, the auto business is long gone, never to return.
Basically, only AB and SK would worth while to the US as the 51st State.
Numbers suggest that we (AB & SK) may very soon vote to get out of the abusive marriage that is Canaduh.
Oh, I don’t want it to happen, either. That guy was just yanking their chain.
I have family (by marriage) in Cobalt, ON. They have tried for-ever to get their US citizenship, mainly due to the healthcare needs of one of their kids.
But, I thought Socialized Medicine was the best? Cousin has already lost both of her parents on Canadian operating tables. :(
