Yeah? How? Hockey riots when you losers lose? Bob and Doug MacKenzie?
Drinking alot of Molson and hitting each other?

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

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

No, but the drool does run down the cheek of Jean Chretien. 

By the way, has he lost the country yet?

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?"

"They don't want to be mistaken for Americans."

"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."
