Did you hear I made the Canadians mad at me again?
In honor of Canada Day, July 1, I was asked by Maclean's magazine, one of Canada's brightest lights, to write a few words on the state of Canada's relations with the U.S. It came out on Friday.
I said the relations stunk because we had figured out how anti-American Canadians had become over the last few years. The quote from me they put on the cover of the magazine was, "Canada is a vast ice-encrusted wasteland dedicated to beer and America bashing."
As you probably could figure out, that didn't go over big with a bunch of Canadians and the proof was in the letters to the editor.

Well, that's nice. Anyway, I had some fun needling our friends, the Canadians. Boy, are they thin-skinned. They say the most awful things about us, as if it were obviously true to everyone, like the government official calling George Bush a moron. And you say you don't envy Canadians for their fabulous country and you don't really wish you were Canadian so you could be like them: wonderful, thoughtful, peaceful, generous? Just say that once. Just think it, and they bite your head off.

Right on target, eh? ;-)
Normally I don't agree with the Daily Show but they said that Canadians are outraged because "Canada has long cultivated an image as harmless p#$$!@s."
