Uh-huh. A Canadian government official is quoted as saying "Damn Americans. Hate those bastards," because she disagreed with Bush's war policies.

But Americans are the unenlightened, stereotyping, racists who hate anyone who has a different opinion than us.

Subject: Canadian Apology

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.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it. It's very nice.

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but we feel your pain.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Cheers.

Canada should be careful not to eliminate their final line of defense. Without the U.S. they couldn't defend against France.

For some reason, this sounds like the most Canadian line. I think it's the "It's very nice" at the end.

News Flash... she said that as a joke, she was laughing when she said it. I know that doesn't make it right since she is a MP who should know better, but that kind of adds context to what she said.

And Americans are not all "unenlightened, stereotyping, racists"... some are :). As are some Canadians :). But it's pretty amazing how some people will generalize 30+ million people on the words of a single person, and then say how it's unfair how Americans are sterotyped...

I love Canada, and I appriciate that the French let you have some signs in English for us Tourists. We also appricate that you call your money the same thing we do instead of by French or English names, but it is a little confusing that your dollars are worth so much less than ours.
