Just before many of us head for the States for March Break.......

i know that there are few canadians on this board and mor americans than anything but i got this email and just had to post it. please me reminded i'm not trying to offend anyone and that this is HUMOUR.


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.


i hope at least some of you find this humourous. I myself i'm extremely sorry for your beer.

Sorry, didn't find it humorous at all. And I happen to like the beer here.

See? Even the brewery corporations have "dumbed down" our taste buds! They've got (some of) us *liking* the taste of yak piss!

hehe I found it funny anyhow

not sure about your beer though - I drink budweiser mainly cos it doesn't get me drunk very quickly, unlike our real British Ales...

The domestic is great. We have such good ones like Milwaukee's Beast, Natty Light, Bus

Anyway domestic isn't that bad. I love me some Coor's Original.
