Which cultural atrocities should Canada apologize to the USA for?
I know there'll be some disagreement, but this Soviet Canuckistani, would like to hang my head in shame and apologize to the USA for unleashing upon them:

Barenaked Ladies
Alanis Morrissette
Tom Green
Celine Dion
Jim Carrey
Howie Mandel
Nickelback
Anne Murray
Dan Aykroyd
and Walter Ostanek

I'm so very, very sorry.

1. Anything involving Bill Shantner singing
Oh, and every gotdamn "new york city" scene that's really just Toronto with trash strewn about.

4. Know what's funny? I'm so tempted to say something really impolite to you.
But I just can't.

(For that you might do better with CanuckAmok or HEyHEY.)

But if you like it, I'm glad you like it. Far be it from me to proclaim what's good.

Hell, I like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idYAmJ_F3Fs

17. Oh, geeze, is that Canadian?
My brother-in-law, with his ton of kids, hates Caillou. I have no kids myself, so I guess I've been blissfully unaware.

19. No way!
Not if you've been lucky enough to have looked where I've looked.

Besides, it's about time WE admitted that we're perfectly capable of exporting dubious culture to the willing masses, too.
