A truly Canadian apology to the USA
Courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes CBC Television

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.

Thank you.

Hey! We have some very good beer, thank you very much. Although none of it is made by Labbatt's.

Which reminds me that I still need to arrange an all-you-can-drink beer party sometime at the Brick brewery, with crashing at my mom's place in Waterloo afterwards, so the drivers might drink.

But now I've said too much ... with my history of action on this idea (which, for the record, was planted by my mother a year and a half ago), I'll probably just wind up with disappointed friends.

Your mother suggested you have a crash-at-her-place brew bash. Really.

Wow. That's some kind of mom.

Waterloo...Waterloo... I should know where this is... Ah, yes... in between the bluewater and Toronto. Right. (thank you Google)

Where the fuck is Bluewater?

The bluewater bridge: you know, that backwater over in Sarnia that takes you into the lower wastes....

Ah well, ignorance is bliss I guess.
