This kicks supreme ass. First the Molson beer commercials, now this. I'd trade "aye" for "ya'll" anyday.

This blows, just like any other "We're Canadian, our national identity is founded on the basis of NOT being Americans! Yippee!", especially the afore-linked Molson beer commercials.

Christ, if you (and I speak to my fellow Canadians here) can't think of a single thing that makes us different other than the 49th parallel, you're missing out on so much, and if you think that just that 49th parallel in any way distinguishes Canadians from Americans to the rest of the world, you seriously need to do some travelling.

The only ones who care are Canadians and the occasional American. We've got better things to be proud of than "not being American."

Since the Canadians are so much like us how could we tell if they took over? I mean, other than Congress suddenly passing Single Payer Health Insurance, what other sign would there be that Ottawa was calling the shots?

"...what other sign would there be that Ottawa was calling the shots?"

The beer would be a thousand times better. Cigarettes wouldn't taste like rope. Everyone would own a pair of Mukluks, and 'Snowbird' would have much more play in elevators.
