Canada Apologizes to the Americans, Well sort of….
I'm not sure if this has ever been posted here, but anyway...
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.

8. Bad, Bad Canadian!!
I thought I had you tamed, but I see you still have a spark left in you.

I will have to break your spirit by beaming Toby Keith over the border.

13. C'mon, Corey Hart is awesome
"Sunglasses At Night" is one of the greatsest songs of the '80s.

I will apologize for Nickelback, Celine Dion and Bryan Adams though.

Here's the link, but it's offline owing to the CBC strike.

11. Mercer's a funny guy
The Monday Report is good stuff, though "This Hour....has gotten very creaky. Same w/ the Air Farce, though I always enjoy their year-end shows..
