Canada is the USA's perpetual best friend.....
You guys huff and puff and we sit in the corner keeping an eye on you. We know we can talk sense to you, sometimes. And we love ya to death, but we also know you can be a fucking dick sometimes. So, we'll be in the bar, having a good time then you guys will go pick a fight with Russia and next thing you know there's a bar brawl and before we know it we're in a fist fight with Uzbekistan, who we've never met before, but because their buddy fucked with our buddy we all got into a brawl. Long story short.. ease the fuck up on the Polish missles bullshit. It was the wrong time to bring that up.

2. Hubby and I were just saying
how the hell did the entire world end up being ruled by a handful of greedy fuckwits who sacrifice millions of people for a patch of oil and can't figure out any other way to do it.

Crane paper, just like the US I think. There's a lot of paper in Canada.

16. The US didn't fight in the Suez Crisis
Britain did, but the US helped mediate the dispute after it became obvious that the Soviets were not happy at all about their Egyptian clients getting the crap beat out of them by three other countries.

11. As a border state (Michigan) resident, I feel more Canadian than American anyway, eh?
How much so? I watch Peter Mansbridge more than Brian Williams, the last CD I bought was from HMV on Yonge (not Young) Street, I was talking to a friend the other day about an inquest (rather than an investigation) into the anthrax case, and I can spell Penetanguishene.

Oh Canada!
