2. I saw Norm McDonald at a comedy club here in Seattle back in the
mid-late 80s. My favourite joke of his was "Does anyone in this room know why you Americans call those of us from Canada 'cheeseheads? Anyone? No? Well, we know why we call you 'war-mongering bastards!"

Nothing's changed. Funny in a sad way

5. I call them "those lucky folks"
Gay marriage...almost legal nationwide. They're actually on the verge of legalizing marijuana. A national health care system.

AND...they're not involved in an idiotic, pointless, senseless war.

AND...they have Paul Martin running the government up there. Contrasting with what WE have....
