Canada Thinks we Need Cheering Up: Made us an Awesome Video

Canada explains, "Seems America could use some cheering up right about now. As their closest friends and neighbours, we thought we should take a minute to help remind them that no matter how bad things might seem at the moment, there are lots of reasons why we think they’re still pretty great."

Oh Canada....

Also, dear Canada, thanks for Steve Yzerman! Many other great people too but, especially, Yzerman.

...I cringed when I watched it on TV this morning. Done by an ad agency in Toronto looking for 'viral' status, knowing that Americans love hearing "good things" about themselves and hoping to profit from the river of money running the American Empire.

I don't think Americans need to cheer up; I think they need to smarten up.

They pick us up when we are down, have our back in any conflict, and cover our ass with mom when we screw up.

has never been great, and while the potential is there, it's certainly not on the horizon for my lifetime.

But whatever makes the masses feel better about themselves...
