'Canadian Sniper' brilliantly parodies 'American Sniper' in two minutes
http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/humor/canadian-sniper-brilliantly-parodies-american-sniper-in-two-minutes-video/It comes in handy for America to have a neighbor like Canada. Let’s face it, Canadians are not totally unlike Americans, but they’re also just enough different that they give us a fresh look at ourselves, if we choose to pay attention.
Recently, many Americans have been taking sides on the movie American Sniper. Basically, the right loves it, and the left hates it. Some on the right went apoplectic after the film failed to take home any major honors from last Sunday’s Oscars. But, leave it to our Canadian cousins to approach American Sniper with a sense of perspective.
The comedy team of Jeff Ayars and Dan Rosen, who are known as “Cannibal Milkshake,” envisioned what American Sniper would look like if it had been set in Canada. The result is a parody trailer that is sure to anger those Americans who are treating American Sniper as some sort of statement on the great American warrior. But, for the rest of us, it’s just funny....
It’s not clear yet what American defenders of Clint Eastwood’s film will have to say about the parody; Americans are notorious for not noticing what goes on north of our border, so most may not even be aware that Canadian Sniper exists. But, a number of posters on the CBC comment thread are critical of both Chris Kyle, and American Sniper.

Because of the moose, of course 
Thanks for posting this video. I declare it priceless! Actually, I can't stop laughing...Haven't seen American Sniper, and I'm guessing I'd better not. The audience would doubtless drum me outa the theater.
