Blame Canada (barf alert)
Canadian Broadcasting Company ^ | Rick Mercer

Posted on 03/26/2003 10:16:35 AM PST by Schatze

The following is commentary from Rick Mercer on his "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" show on CBC:

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.

He does rants, Dennis Miller style....and, he's a loon.

Definitely not your typical Haligonian; Nova Scotians are good people. ;^)

I realize that not all Candians are like this putz, but Mercer can take his elitist attitude, fold it five ways and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

The only thing I'm sorry about is that we have Canada for a neighbor. If it were up to me, there would be an electrified fence along our northern border.

Speaking about water, Canada does have an gigantic amount of fresh water that constitutes an amazing asset for your country. How's this, we'll trade you California even up for it? We may throw in the state of Washington. But you will have to take Jim McDermott.

The CBC is state run. He is a government employee, if not an elected official

Oh joy. Maybe Americans should just try to tune out anything Canada says, because listening will only raise our blood pressure.

What, is this guy 12 years old? This is what's supposed to hurt us as Americans? Their olympic hockey team beat ours? I'm surprised we can even show our faces in Iraq after such a defeat.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Yes, you are.

I'm NOT sorry that we're the post powerful nation in the history of the world and you're about as relevant as Lichtenstein. ...(no offense to either Lichtenstinians or our good FR Canadian friends)

He should be a stand-up comic, 'cause Lord knows those darn Candians are just dying for some good humor up in the Great White North.

Maybe they shouldn't have exported all their sketch comics to the US....

Just to let you know this was the same anti Bush idiot who trying to prove how dumb Bush was during the campaign for the Presidency posed as a reporter and asked him about the Canadian Prime Minister Poutine (a Quebec culinary idea which is fries with cheese and gravy...try it out cholesterol fans) and Bush replied so the incident gained some notoriety. As for where this idiot was spawned I believe he's from the maritimes...probably Nova Scotia.

"This Hour Has 22 Minutes" is a topical satire show.

Allegedly.

Oh, sorry. I thought this was a South Park "Mothers Against Canada" thread...

Time's have changed
Our kids are getting worse
They won't obey their parents
They just want to fart and curse

Should we blame the government?

Or blame society?

Or should we blame the images on TV?

No! Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!

With all their beady little eyes
And flapping heads so full of lies

Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!

Ah, yes. These are the same folks who are bankrolling fathead Michael Moore. He even admitted that he could get no financing for his fictitious documentaries in the United States, so he has to go to Canada.

How about trading California & Massachusetts for BC and Alberta -- heck, we can throw in the Billery Clintons as a bonus.

Hey, I live in California; bad as it is, it's still better than Canada (at least we don't have to pump in daylight, like they do in Canuckistan). But I'd be happy to give Canada our democrat legislators (starting with Grayout Davis), along with all the street rabble in San Francisco.
