Canada Apologizes to the Americans, Well sort of….

[Canadian Socialist]

I'm not sure if this has ever been posted here, but anyway...

Courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes CBC Television:

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.

He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.

11. Mercer's a funny guy

The Monday Report is good stuff, though "This Hour....has gotten very creaky. Same w/ the Air Farce, though I always enjoy their year-end shows..

The university I attend, that is...not the one I own....yet. :evilgrin:
