Here is comedian Colin Mochrie "apologizing" to America on Canada's behalf (Colin was himself born in Scotland, but raised in Canada).

Apparently there is an idea spreading through some threads that us Canadians have a hard time understanding the languages, word-phrases and cultures of other countries represented here on CC (I guess since we are isolated in igloos all year round and constantly surrounded by very hungry and determined polar bears, we are cut off from other places and ideas in the world).

I will start with some basic preliminary questions from my very limited-Canadian perspective:

1. To my American cousins, since you guys don't have proper health care (as opposed to Canada's excellent health care system) what happens when you get injured or hurt? Do you pay out of your own pockets for medical service, or do you just roll into the nearest ditch and ironically sing "Only In America" as you wait for the end to come?

2. To my many filipino cousins here on CC, at what time of the year do your beautiful Philippine's beach's freeze-over so I can play hockey when I come there for vacation??? You guys do get snow, right???

So, as a Filipino-American woman living in Alaska, this post makes me feel like I'm having an identity crisis. I can't tell you how many times Americans have found out I'm Alaskan and have treated me like I'm Canadian. It's gotten to the point that when I travel abroad, and people ask if I'm American, I say "No, I'm Alaskan".

Seriously though, if any of you ever wanna visit Alaska, hit me up! My igloo is hooked up with all the latest fixin's (like real fire!) and traveling by polar bear is something everyone needs to experience at least once in their life.

A Filipino-American living in Alaska??? That's the perfect recipe for a multiple-personality disorder - lol.

You have fires in your igloos??? Isn't that a potential water hazard??? Canadian igloos only come with one pair of pre-owned moccasins and a poorly framed photo of Ryan Reynolds!!!

We're very advanced in the art of igloo-crafting, friend. We've got fires to cook up our caribou meat, bear skins to keep everyone warm, and flat screen televisions so we can keep up on the latest episodes of The Bachelor.

You guys are lucky you get to watch "The Bachelor" in your igloos, in Canada the only channel we get in our igloos is "The Great Outdoors" channel, and trust me it's not that great!!!

Americans come from America

Though the waiting room magazines will still be exactly the same.... no really, the Exact Same Ones from the last 15 years will still be Exaclty there... just more coughed on.

The last time I was in a waiting room, I read a Popular Science magazine that talked about something in the near future called the 'internet' that will enable people to conduct business and do other tasks all over their computers. I call shenanigans. There's no way that'll happen.

Its true. Did you hear that the Internet is now on computers? Its something about it being series of tubes....

I'm still looking for the any key!!!!

Wow, I don't know whether to feel sorry for you Americans, or to feel jealous - lol.

But hey, we Canadians don't get the "Arwen-Kiss-It-Better" medical perk, so why do you Americans???

We Canadians gave you guys Justin Beiber, but there is no way we'll let you get Arwen to!!!

Can you please take the Beiber back? We'll actually let you keep Arwen as long as you get rid of the Bieb

WAIT - we get visitation privileges, right? (For Arwen, not for the brat.)

 

[arwen83]

And yet Arwen can't get a date....*twitch*

Doll, that's why most of us are here. We're you're support group, yo. *hugs*

Sorry Donkey, we can't take Beiber back to Canada, because we issued a restraining order against him when we sent him to the U.S., which stipulates, "Under now circumstances is the Beibster allowed to travel back north of the border, or he could be at risk of being pelted with Prince Edward Island potatoes and Newfoundland cod fish"

So for his own safety, he "MUST" stay in America!!!

Arwen, if you're looking for a date, please allow me to recommend the website "CCC" - which stands for "Canadian Canucks Connect", and whose motto is "Where Canadian Singles Come Together For Ice-Fishing, Platinum Blonde Cover-Band Concerts, and William Shatner Impersonation Contests"

It sounds promising!!!

It appears that no one wants to take BIEBS, well except every shrieking girl between the ages 10-16, and the odd weird adult. I vote to put him on an island with them. Send him to the wolves. He could become their king! Or lunch. One or the other.

If the Biebs became lunch for wolves, that would be one mighty quick (and unfilling) meal!!!

We all know the truth - America can't handle Arwen. If she were on this side of the border, she'd be clubbing all of us off of her with a baseball ba---wait, with a hockey stick. I imagine by the time any of us got to the front of the scrum, she'll have already broken several sticks and will be stabbing would-be suitors in the face with ice skates.

The wrath of a Canadian woman is sharper than a double-edged plow!!!
