	Hell, they might as well laugh at themselves, everyone else 
does.  As for Canada's armed forces.. I seriously have trouble believing 
that they could conquer L.A. much less the entire nation.

: >Give me a break. Canada produces nothing. Not music, not film, not art,
: >not science. Zip.

:      That shows you have never even bothered to look.  There is more Canadian
: music, film, art and science around you than you know.

	Yea Joe-Bob.. we're forgetzing dat lotz a WWF wrastlers are 
Canadian too.. 

: >It's also Jazz, Blues, great film, great theater, great writers....the
: >list is endless.

:      The list is endless.  Yeah right.  I can only think of two great
: yankee writers; Poe and Hemmingway.

	I guess Canadians don't read much either.. try reading a good 
book one day instead of watching a hockey game..

: >By the way, has he lost the country yet?

:      As popular as ever.  Whereas people continue to shoot at the White House
: to kill your leader.

	Hmm.. when you're right you're right I suppose.. I'm not sure if 
you're trying to say Canada has better insane marksmen than we do or 
whether you just love your Prime Minister.

: >Yes, and you know what? If you idiot canucks would actually learn french
: >(one of your official languages) or German, you would hear what they say
: >about you. They laugh at you. As one of my friends from Paris said "Joe,
: >why do these people wear that stupid leaf?"

:      A lot more Canadians know French and German than yanks.  Most Canadians
: speak at least two languages.  You yanks think you can get by with that 
: language you call "English".

	Well hell, can't blame us for that.. check out the UK.. I can 
just see the limeys now trying to come up with an excuse..

: >"But that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! I mean, Americans have
: >power. Canadians are just Americans with even less culture and nothing."

:      More compassion towards other nations, a more civil society, a more
: consistent foreign policy, real commitment to world peace and the environment,
: and a much better attitude towards the countries we travel in.

	Translation:
	"We try to walk softly and carry a big change purse.  If anyone 
gets mad at us we give them money and plead with them not to be pissed at 
us anymore."

:      Oh sure, it is okay for all those inbred yanks to be pretend to be 
: patriotic (while in reality they are just brainwashed), but God forbid there
: should be a patriotic Canadian.  Canadian patriotism is at least more sincere,
: we actually know what we are patriotic about, whereas you yanks are just
: patriotic to whatever the government tells you.

	Patriotic Canadians.. hahahaha
