A Newfie seal killing joke????? WTF?

I'm always game for some satire of Canada, I usually enjoy it but wow was that episode cringe-worthy.
First of all, enough with the healthcare. We get it. Everyone gets it.
You want to know who else has Universal Health Care? Pretty much the entire developed world and some of the under-developed world not named 'America.'
We also use the metric system and Celsius just like 90% of the rest of the world.
And I'm all for making fun of Justin Trudeau. As much as I dislike the guy he probably has a decent enough sense of humour to laugh at being lampooned by the Simpsons but honestly? WTF was that?
And the seal clubbing Newfie joke? I'm not even going to touch on the fact that it was in poor taste and largely inaccurate, but most Newfies are probably cringing at that mostly because it was a ham-fisted and pathetic attempt at a joke.
Newfies can take a joke on the chin, even a self-deprecating one, but that was painful to watch. Like a child trying to formulate a joke and it just doesnt work.
Just stop.
