Are you an idiot? You stupid americans ('stupid americans' referring
to all americans who think we live in igloos and agree with this
garbage) think you've pulled us stupid nearderthals out of our igloos
and corn farming to turn into cool people like yourselves. You don't
even know what's Canadian! I assume because the X-Files is based in
DC, you think it's american, right? WRONG! I've been to
many-a-filmings of it. Pamela Anderson (Star of ButtWatch) is
canadian, so we haven't exactly adopted her into our culture. It seems
to me that because we live near you, we're supposed to have modelled
ourselves after you. Ever heard of the word 'Acculturation'? Or
'Cultural Exchange'? No? Look it up.
