Come on up!

Oh, but before you do, there are some things you should be aware of:
1) Leave your guns behind. Not welcome here. Nope.
2) All our packaging comes in two languages. Get used to it.
3) Metric system. Learn it.
4) Three-down football on a 110 yard field. Shut up, we like it. (And no "fair catch" either)
5) "Please", "Thank-you", "Excuse me" and "I beg your pardon". Courtesy. Learn it.
6) One-third of your income will be taxed.
-but the national health care system is great!
-and prescriptions are cheap.
7) So is tuition (not that you'd care)
8) A creationist, "young earth" believing, bible literalist lost his bid to be Prime Minister a few years ago because he was, well, a creationist, "young earth" believing bible literalist.
9) (see #8) As Minister of Public Safety, and devout fundamentalist, he denied Fred Phelps' gang entry into the country this year. (It was "for their own safety".)
10) Snow tires. Ask someone in North Dakota what that means.
11) The lady on our money is Queen Elizabeth the Second. Don't ask.
12) Finally, be careful with that beer. Don't want to have to carry you out of the bar on your first day here.

So, if you're OK with the above, come on up. Just don't start whining about our "socialist" ways once you're here.
Or, if you had any sense, stay where you are and give Mr. Obama a chance. I have a feeling you won't be disappointed.
