Canadians Treated For Log Cabin Fever

Canadians treadted for log cabin fever: Who wood believe this was possible?

Ok, so this is an old farce, but after reading the Paris Hilton Cellphone hack story, well, I figured we needed a little more humor. The Toque has been around for a while now, and while some stories are just stupid others are just too damn funny. This one, well, this one is an old joke, but what the hell. At any rate, you should never take things too seriously, and man have I seen people taking things way to seriously lately.

Those members that are Canadian will probably see the humor in this story. I mean, the amount of times I've been asked by Americans how my huskies are doing, how far do I live from the "closest" town, do snowshoes really help in "all that snow", that they like Celion Dions' music too (or ask if she's a "nice" person), or "Oh, your from Canada? Then you must know 'Bob'?". Oh, and no, we are NOT the 51rst State of America, ok? LOL!

Just a reminder: Canada, the "Great White North",

Edit: Oh yeah, Bob and Doug say hi!

Gotta love a good sence of humor

The best US/Canada 'goody' that I've seen in a long while was this one:

That one is being saved on my hard drive!! LOL

Edit:

OK, just cuz I love humor so damn much I figured turn around is fair play. I read this a couple years back, and I've kept it ever since. There were 6, but taken out of context the other 3 don't make sense, but.. the best 3 reasons why America is better than Canada were:

1. You have a Province that wants to secede from you, and the country they emulate needed to be saved twice by America. That should tell ya something right off the bat!
2. 90% of you live next to the greatest country on the face of the earth so you can have a viable economy.
3. If you didn't have ice you'd have no idea of what the word Sport even means.

If i recall some of my history correctly.... wasn't it when America invaded Canada, right after Canada was sitting in the white house? and to top it off, we simply handed it back over without complaint and went home in agreement that the americans left.....

irony...

and to disproove some of the above..... We created pretty well all your sports.. everything from hockey, to basket ball.. to various indoor and outdoor sports.... Yes, that's right WE invented it IN canada.. or by a Canadian

60% of the candians are working in OR FOR the US and are getting paid the top dollar, we are inventing and creating the things that keep your "eco" going

We've been invading for years

the plan is working

No complaints.. we just burned their White House down first, then went home.

Ah.. here we go.. bet nobody thought they'd read this ever again, and I'm sure this is gonna stir some real good sh!t up, but, I'm all for 'mending the fences'. LOL

[/color][color=black] A truly Canadian Apology to the USA, courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, CBC Television:

Hello. I'm Anthony St. George on location here in Washington.

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. It would be like if, well, say you had ten times the television audience we did and you flood our market with great shows, cheaper than we could produce. I know you'd never do that.

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. As word of apology, please accept all of our NHL teams which, one by one, are going out of business and moving to your fine country.

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.

I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the War of 1812. I see you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.

I'm sorry for Alan Thicke, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Loverboy, that song from Seriff that ends with a really high-pitched long note. Your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain.

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. Because we've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

For 22 minutes, I'm Anthony St. George, and I'm sorry.[/color][color=black]

I used to live in Ontario, and thought that Nova Scotia would be more "hickish" than it actually is. I go to a high school with 300 people now, about 200 km away from Halifax, and my only real complaint is the distance I have to drive to get to a decent theatre or computer store.

edit: And the prices of computer stuff here is obnoxious, I order everything from BC, and save loads of money, even after paying for shipping on items like monitors.

Judas · Feb 22, 2005, 06:45 AM

what's the distance.. i'm used to a 2 hour drive to a computer place at which point i then order my parts.... then wait 3 months for them to get in.. and yet again... another 2 hours drive to that place (don't forget.... same amount of time back

)

only thing i can say good about living in the city.. everything is close.. and that's both a good and bad thing.... frankly.... there isn't much of any decent physical activity
