Canada is Awesome. More Americans Should Think So Too.

?They?re not even a real country, anyway.?

So says South Park, in their epically hilarious tune, ?Blame Canada? from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. While we up here in the Great White North would maintain otherwise, it seems as if there never seems to be any shortage of Americans who, looking for a giggle or two, decide to look above them and think ?hey, let?s make fun of that weird ?eh? thing they say all the time.?

Don?t worry, we?ll always have ?Talking to Americans?. There aren?t many things that get past Rick Mercer. A master of ranting.
