| 59. Some Relevant Points... |
|
1. The United Stats national flag is sensibly designed, but most state flags SUCK. Canada's provincial flags are far superior.
2. Many Americans who travel abroad sport Canadian flags so foreign nationals won't think they're Americans.
3. The United States is the only nation in the world that refuses to dip its national flag to the host nation during the Olympics. Is that the ultimate in arrogance, or WHAT?
4. Canadians pay homage to a distant Queen who loves horses and associates with one of the Bush clan's biggest allies.
5. I lived in Newfoundland for a while.
6. There is at least one as*hole in Canada. I worked with him in the Aleutian Islands.
7. Qibla Cola is marketed in Canada, though it hasn't penetrated the U.S. yet.
8. Jimi Hendrix recorded a beautiful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner, but he never tackled Oh Canada.
9. Most of the world's narwhals live in Canada; there are very few in Alaska.
10. While many Americans argue that we protect Canada, there probably aren't many nations that would want to attack it aside from the fact that it's somewhat allied with the U.S.
