A truly Canadian Apology to the USA, courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, CBC Television:
Hello. I'm Anthony St. George on location here in Washington.
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. It would be like if, well, say you had ten times the television audeince we did and you flood our market with great shows, cheaper than we could produce. I know you'd never do that.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours. As word of apology, please accept all of our NHL teams which, one by one, are going out of business and moving to your fine country.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to 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.
I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the War of 1812. I see you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.
I'm sorry for Alan Thicke, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Loverboy, that song from Seriff that ends with a really high-pitched long note. Your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain.
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. Because we've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.
For 22 minutes, I'm Anthony St. George, and I'm sorry.

America really messed up when the border was being marked. On the west coast, they decided to take the land where present day Point Roberts is instead of half of Vancouver Island. If it weren't for the British explorers who built Fort Victoria, Victoria might be in American territory today.

Truly horrendous stuff. The US does many things right....beer ain't one of them.

We got a free be after they bent us over with the Alaskan pan handle. We can blame the Brits though. They suck at negotiations. Look at their recent oil negotiations with Libya!

It's not that they don't do it right, it's just that the majority has horrible taste in beer. There are plenty of great beers in the US but the American public seems to prefer swill.

Yurrrrr not Mike from Japan who gave me this very argument tonight over Japanese beers are you?
2 Floridians just nodded their heads when I trashed American beer, mind you they have been in Japan as long as me and know better. Mike on the other hand is from Minnesota and is L E A R N I N G.

We got ripped off with Alaska in general. From what I read, the British had the first opportunity to buy it from the Russians but saw it as useless land and thought it would improve relations with the U.S. if they let them take it. If the British had purchased it, it most likely would be part of Canada now.

The Americans got the Brit sauced something good and then brought in the "AGREEMENT".
That was after the American 8 million dollar folly.

Nope.

BTW; Micro Breweries don't count.
Why don't micro breweries count? Is Labatt Blue any better then Bud or MGD?
And what do you consider a micro brewery? Where do breweries like Sierra Nevada or Pyramid fall?

Seriously.
Mass produced Canadian beer is as crappy as mass produced American beer. Canadian and Blue are two of the worst beers you can buy. At least Bud has the courtesy not to taste like anything.

(This was a 5 hour beer garden debate)
Micro breweries don't count because they don't sell nationally. Yes they are better that the usual swill. But if you go into a liquour store/ place of beer availability..........they are not available.
IMO with exceptions
America generally produces the best Whiskey......
America generally produces the best wine//// Hell, France owes them a big thank you.....

While Blue isn't great, I never seem to get hung over on it. I'm not sure why... but I know other people that say the same thing. Kokanee on the otherhand...

Beer is beer. Some people like Kokanee - some people love Heineken. If you blind fold 10 beer tasters - they would not have a clue which is which or what is what.
If the US invaded, would that mean no more Quebec and bilingualism? Force us and the French to speak Spanish and line up for Freedom Fries? I for one do not want to be American. Mobilize the Indians and send em out.
I am not sure what I would do.. but I do know how it would start.
Yeah, that would about do it for any of us.
Or, about five days from now during a certain anniversary, a gray 747 marked only with a spray painted on Maple Leaf flies directly into the Sears tower in Chicago on live morning television. Panic strikes everywhere and mass confusion sets in on both sides of the fence.
About a half hour later, FOX News reports that a small group of Canadian Nationalists invaded American airspace in an attempt to target the freedoms of America. It worked before, it will probably work again. The Steve Wilkos show is then canceled and a non-stop news feed takes over explaining to the USA how much of a threat Canada is to them. Some Americans become angry, Wilkos is pissed! It is then told that no F-16s we able to be scrambled because they were a few states over honoring the victims of the last time they didnt show up. A whole world of emotions spins around the globe and then the unthinkable happens....
The Sears tower, which was burning on 3 floors live on television, then collapses in a 13 second free fall directly into its own footprint. A Canadian passport is later found amidst the wreckage and the terrorists are identified.
The USA launches Shock & Awe: The Sequel, and carpet bombs Saskatchewan and wipes Edmonton off the map while making similar attacks to other major cities across Canada. American oil companies then ensue to set up shop and everything is a mess after that.
God help us all.
