Maybe the reason so many great comedians come from Canada is that they're so used to laughing at themselves!
By my personal experiences, Canadians are weak-minded! The ones who say they are not "like the others" let "the others" do whatever they want and say whatever they will w/o even the least bit of scrutiny. They can allow an arena full of adults scare the livin' daylights out of a bunch of youngsters simply there to play hockey, but then get upset when someone lambastes those people. As well, when someone comments on their acquiessence, they get all gung-ho and PO'd at you while telling you they disagree with the libs up there in spite of any obvious evidence!
Go figure...
